Congratulatiory Speech

arthouse: Clint GranTorino Eastwood

This week I finally recovered a lack that I had accumulated during the previous movie season. I rented the CD "GranTorino" penultimate effort of 'octogenarian Clint Eastwood.

In many I have spoken well, so when the opportunity presented itself the 'I have chosen.

It 's the story an old man (he, the monolithic Clint) a retired American former Ford worker and veteran of the Korean War, which survives to live in a neighborhood that is slowly transformed into a kind of Chinatown (indeed, Hmong-town, but for him is the same).

The old Walt is an old racist, that ill-digested 's invasion of what for him were "Japs." E 'but a guy in one piece and holds high the flag as the American, whose family name is Kowalski him so badly that digests the abuses inflicted a gang of Asian thugs to his neighbors.

And so, although a bit out of time, the Texan by ice-blue eyes, back to avenge injustice, Waving fists and gunfire.

Little by little, the old Walt first rigid and inflexible, you'll discover how to recover the respect of people, even the "Japs" and especially the 'love of life.

GranTorino Why? The title is taken from the name of a Ford coupe, sports icon of the 70s (it was the 'Car of Starsky), which has and our dealing with painstaking care. And the car will be the focus of an event that will be the turning point in the existence of the protagonist.

The film uses a mechanism that Clint has demonstrated the ability to use very well already with Million Dollar Baby. The hard that it melts and then the final tears. The film is certainly enjoyable and achieves its purposes (as well as a moderate success at the box office), but I must say I expected better. I thought it was all built with a lot of trade with the great gigioneggia Eastwood in his classic (and only?) Role and a script to move organized.

Honest and well done, but nothing more.
And for you? Rate this survey! (But not, well ...)

Here's a title to avoid: A serious man.

There are evenings when you'd go to the cinema, and also on the bill if there are films that attract you, choose the least worst, you pay the ticket and a seat in the stalls.
Tonight it went that we presented ourselves to see "A serious man," the Coen brothers .

I'm not a sophisticated film lover, my favorite kind of movie is spectacular, funny and - usually - a happy ending, I admit.
And yet, the projection of that evening will remain in my memory as one of (you choose the more appropriate term) ** ate craziest I've ever seen.
It was slow to 105 minutes of film 'incredible, filled with bad luck and psychological complexes that even Woody Allen in crisis have ever produced. The protagonist, a dull university professor, is overwhelmed by it all. The wife, by 'her lover, from the rude neighbors, children who steal money from his brother that Scrocca life, from commericanti discs by mail, by students who blackmail and even by the rabbis to whom it applies for comfort. When it seemed they were about to finally receive some good news, the bearer of that, dies of heart attack.
Perhaps the reason for this is bad luck to be found in the first 10 minutes of video (in Yiddish), where he attends to 'murder of a rabbi, took place centuries ago in Germany and that seems to unleash a curse. But who knows?
short, a little Forrest Gump, a bit of Minnesota Fantozzi jew but softens and does not even laugh, indeed, upset with his constant and unrelenting suffering.
L 'bitter irony that sometimes tears smiles to the audience, as well as the faces of some of the characters, not enough to prevent a bad opinion, shared by almost all participants in the projection.

conclusion: to be avoided like the plague.

How Much Cost To Play Bowling

Ten things about me. Strange strong ...

Alf (damn him!:)) Involves me in a game where I should be able to list ten things that I relate to unusual or odd. This is a meme , a sort of handing you receive a blogger and, after giving your input, forward it to third.

1. There must be a name for this, but I do not know. However, if I think the eyes, I mean the eyeball, svengoooo ..........

goes without saying that in addition to having given up to the eyepiece, I can not even imagine with contact lenses.

2. Every night before going to bed, check that the door is locked. Normal course, except that every time I close by.

3. When I go to the stadium and play the anthem of Manchester United, as I touched the arms of a hyper-obese in mid-August.

4. I hate flying. Indeed, I fear.

5. I can not stand dishes containing milk-fed veal.

6. I have roses on my head of a nursery and my hair have a life of its own. Disordered.

7. Cherish the desire to make my body tonic (in itself already an admirable example of harmonious proportions). To this end, in the time I bought (and then give cause any use) exercise bike, treadmill, rowing machine. When I turn on the Wii Fit, I spoke to him why do not you recognize me: I will do the same purpose. Ometto annuities paid to the gym, having never attended ..

8. I own a beautiful electric guitar, which I know to play the basics. But they refused, so always strumming the same chords. But I enjoy the same and perhaps, in a 'next life, I will learn.

9. I have one foot larger of the 'other. Not by much, half the number, but I assure you that it is really a problem. If you know any store owner who claims to have found pairs of shoes with odd sizes, it was me or someone like me.

10. Finally, do not put any sugar in the drink.

Not easy to list these ten characteristics and a welcome to a tribute, to which the mission Antonella with his blog:)
