ANGEL - still haven't watched it

Edwardian England.
Precocious girl from poor background with aspirations to being a novelist finds herself swept to fame and fortune when her romances hit the best seller lists - one example is "Sleeping Beauty".

It's my next. Post as soon as I've seen it.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

You know, this is one of those nobody wants to miss. It's the kind of movie that you'll just go and see even if you keep being the anti-spielberg spoiler afterwards.

The movie is just that - it's Indiana Jones, a Spielberg movie and Harrison Ford. Lots of special effects, great ideas, fantastic stunts and incredible sequences. I liked it apart from the strange idea of adding extra-terrestrial to the plot - that I absolutely hated!

For people who say it's not that good or it's kind of ridiculous, it is, you were right but the question is - weren't the others as well? They were and are all the same but we grew up and that makes the difference.

Old Indy is part of my childhood. I remember being picked from school by mum when lesson were over to go to the cinem and watch Indy - I clearly remeber when the guy ate the monkey's brains (some kind of gelly that gave me the creeps for a week...)

Harrison still has the power to make me go back in time. Spielberg and Lucas add the magic. The rest is up to us...

LA GRAINE ET LE MULET

This story is simple but powerful and meaningful - a story about dignity, sacrifice and family love. The acting by Habib Boufares and Hafsia Herzithe is very good. The script is very well written and the characters are well defined, the cinematography is very special with a lot of very close close-ups.

It's a rich movie and one that, once again, makes us think about the importance family should have in our lives; the sacrifices one must make to help the loved ones - the ones who are always there for us without asking for anything in return.

Yes, I think it's definitely worth the money although I wasn't that happy with the ending. Too strange and abrupt I thought but not enough to spoil it.

"At the port of Sète Mr. Slimani, a tired sixty year old, drags himself towards a shipyard job which has become more and more difficult to cope with as the years go by. He is a divorced father who forces himself to stay close to his family despite the scissions and tensions which are easily sparked off and which financial difficulties make even more intense. He is going through a delicate period in his life and recently, everything seems to make him feel useless; a failure. He wants to escape from it all and set up his own restaurant. However it appears to be an unreachable dream given his meagre, irregular salary which is not anywhere near enough to supply what he needs to realise his ambition. But he can still dream and talk about it with his family in particular. A family which gradually recompacts around this project which comes to symbolise the means to a better life. Thanks to their ingeniousness and hard work this dream soon becomes a reality... Or almost... " by Venice Film Festival

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS...

I was so tired when I left the Uni seminar that I thought to myself: What the heck, it's probably soooooo damn stupid and predictable that I'm gonna die but I don't give a damn!

It is reeeeeeeeally stupid, utterly predictable and amazingly funny so it's worth if you need a break.

"Joy just got dumped by her boyfriend in front of her friends, Jack just got fired by his own father, so what's next for them? VEGAS! They happen to meet when their rooms get mixed up and end up drinking together, having a ball in Vegas, and end up accidentally marrying each other. When they come too, they realize it was a mistake, but start bickering, Joy leaves a quarter at her slot machine and Jack puts it in and wins 3 million dollars! But when it comes to the annulment, for some strange and unbelievable reason, the judge sentences them to 6 months hard marriage and freezes the money. So these two who have nothing in common battle it out, until of course they fall for each other."

I got more than just some laughs out of it. It's a real stress cutter!
