Proposition 19 – The New Leaf

Amicul meu robotul

Te joci liniştit într-o seară cu un roboţel ca un copil mic şi drăgălaş ce eşti şi deodată moare roboţelul. Ei nu vă speriaţi că nu moare pe bune, a murit doar bateria. Ce să faci, ce să faci…mergi la frigider să iei una noua. Hopa! Frigiderul e aproape gol. Te îmbraci frumuşel, iei roboţelul de mână şi pleci în nava ta subacvatică să culegi baterii. Baterii care seamănă cu nişte păpădii! Ei şi dai de una a naibii care nu vrea să se lase culeasă. Tragi şi tragi până când descoperi că e de fapt un peşte imens care vrea să te înhaţe, ceea ce şi reuşeşte până la urmă. Eşti mic şi speriat în gura lui “Moby Dick” şi ce să vezi…Ei vă las pe voi să vedeţi, nu vreau să stric finalul. Ia să-mi spuneţi de v-a placut animaţia celor de la Gobelins, Playing with light – Mon ami le robot.

Just a couple of nice movies I’ve seen lately.

How to Steal a Million (1966) is a classic comedy with lovely Audrey Hepburn and charming Peter O’Toole. I saw this on tv when I was a kid and I remembered scenes from it, but not the title nor who plays in it. I was delighted when I found out what it was called and I loved watching it for the second time.

Flickering Lights (2000) is a Danish movie with the original title Blinkende lygter. It’s an action, comedy type, but with a specific Danish dark humor that all the Danish movies I’ve seen so far have. Give it a try!

Mr. Nobody (2009) is a beautifully filmed fantasy drama that stars Jared Leto. It’s like no movie I’ve seen so far. The story line is pretty tangled, but it’s mostly about the choices we make and how they create the path in our lives. Well it’s much more than that, but I’m not very good at describing it. Just watch it when you’re in the mood for something more than a silly comedy.

A Single Man (2009) is the drama of a gay English teacher who suffers after losing his partner in a car accident. The film stars Colin Firth who makes a wonderful role and also Nicholas Hoult, whom you might recognize from tv show Skins.

Inception (2010) is a movie I saw because of all the fuss that was going around about it. It’s the first I’ve seen in a cinema in a loooong time and  I must say I made a good choice. I actually enjoyed it very much.

So… what good movies have you seen lately?
