"Tilts uz Terabitiju" nav filma par datoriem. Patiesību sakot, tās laikā dators pat ne reizi netiek parādīts, tur nav neviena frīka, kas runā par giga- un terabaitiem un es pat šaubos, ka šādu frīku vidū šī filma varētu būt īpaši populāra.

Amazingly despite being written by a German playwright that I haven`t even heard of "Closed because of richness" proved to be quite a nice little comedy. Max and Rosa, his wife, suddenly win a lot of money (it`s not mentioned how they win it) - 11 millions in total. After that they close their little shop and start having fun from life. Since neither of them is prepared for that sort of situation what they do is simply buying junk and throwing money away as if it was won in a lottery (and it probably was). They encounter a lot of people that want to benefit from their stupidity and they allow those people to achieve their goals. Max and Rosa are basically good-for-nothings that could have done fairly well when they were normal people but money spoils them instantly. I doubt that this play has any lasting value but I can imagine fairly well to see this performed on stage and I suppose I would like it there as well.

Par "Īstvikas raganām" ar Lienču mazliet pastrīdējāmies. Liene bija pārliecināta, ka bijām šo filmu vienreiz jau kopā skatījušies. Es - tikpat pārliecināts, ka nē. Beigās nonācām pie kompromisa, ka es pie Lienes biju ieradies tuvāk filmas beigām un speciāli to neskatījies, lai varētu kādreiz redzēt filmu kopumā.

Ričija Blekmora grupa "Rainbow" savulaik bija uzskatāma par vienu no "Deep Purple" alternatīvajām versijām - kad pašķīrās Gilana un Blekmora ceļi, Blekmors parasti atveldzi meklēja iekš "Rainbow", bet gadījumos, kad no grupas tika izspiests Gilans, viņš vai nu uzstājās kā "Ian Gillan Band" vai (kad bija jēgu pārdzēris) pievienojās "Black Sabbath", lai ierakstītu vienu no šīs izcilās grupas nožēlojamākajiem albūmiem.

To start with - my expectations for this film there pretty low. What else could one await from a film like this? First, it`s a sequel. Second, I never ever bothered to watch the original film. Third, Bridget Jones - isn`t that this for-ladies-only film where you can see the world just like any woman sees it? Sorta "Sex and the City" style? To continue: I don`t know whether this is similar to "Sex and the City". Why? Because I`ve never watched a single episode of the series. To continue even further: the film wasn`t thad bad. Ok, it was a comedy that very rarely made me laugh. But - do I often laugh while watching a comedy? Not so often for sure. And that goes for good comedies as well. Bridget Jones`s relationship with Mark Darcy falls apart because of her thinking that she`s cheating upon her. So she has nothing better to do than to fall back into the hands of Hugh Grant (what`s the name of his character? wasn`t it Hugh Grant?). But Hugh Grant still is an asshole. And Mark Darcy isn`t one. That`s basically it. Of course, this is a romantic comedy. Of course, most of the jokes aren`t particulary good. But, since this was the next film I watched after "Meet the Fockers" I can compare these two films. In terms of actors the F word film was better. In term s of plot - I`m with Bridget.

Jacky Zucker (full name Jacob Zuckermann) is a Jewish fellow living in modern Germany who`s life hasn`t been particulary successful after Eastern Germany ceased to be (he was a sports journalist back in the days of the GDR but has become some sort of a sluthouse owner nowadays). Jacky has a very bad relationship with his wife, his daughter doesn`t speak to him and he doesn`t seem to have too many friends. He also has a lot of debts and his only chance to stay over water is to win a billiard tournament that`s gonna be held in Berlin the very next week. Yet everything changes when a telegram arrives that his mother has died and that he and his religious brother Solomon will get a heritate only if they make up and spend a week together as a good Jewish family. The problem is that Jacky doesn`t feel Jewish at all, and his wife isn`t Jewish even by blood not only by heart. But what doesn`t one do for money? So the whole thing gets kinda silly but it`s perfectly good for a person like me - a one that knows enough about Jewish traditions, about Germands, and for a person that doesn`t have anything against a good laugh. And a good laugh you will get from this film without a doubt.

"The Magic Christian" ir ļoti savdabīga sešdesmito gadu beigu angļu komēdija, kurā centrālie ievērības cienīgie momenti ir:

"Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" tiek uzskatīta par vienu no 20. gadsimta priekšpēdējās desmitgades labākajām itāļu filmām, ne velti tā 1989. gadā saņēma Zelta globusu, Oskaru un BAFTA balvu kā labākā filma svešvalodā.

I`d been intending to see this film for quite a long time yet due to different circumstances it never happened until today. Why did I want to see it? Because I was told that it was really good. Or maybe I don`t remember correctly and I was just told to watch it without having mentioned how good or bad this film was. Basically this film is a fiction version of the same thing "Inside Deep Throat" tells about. It`s about the porn industry in 1970s-1980s. Ok, it`s not really about the industry but about several people involved in it. There`s Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) - a guy with a big dick and little brain. There`s Rollergirl - a porn actress than never takes her roller skates off. And by saying never I mean never. Then there`s Jack Horner - a middle aged dirty movie director (quite similar to Gerard Damiano IMHO) who happens to be played by Burt Reynolds. Then there are other characters including a crazy for country music black man, a homosexual fatso named Scotty, a dude who`s wife has sex with everyone in front of everyone etc., etc. Still the story never really got me into this film, it may be crafted very professionaly, giving an insight in the industry, visually interesting, yet it still didn`t convince me that this was a great movie. To be completely honest, the best thing in this film to me was the closing titles to the sound of "A living thing" by ELO. Yeah, the ending itself was kinda sissy but that`s no Ingmar Bergman we`re talking about after all.

Ja nemaldos, Nazareth vēl mūsdienās kaut kur pastāv un ir pat vismaz vienreiz uzstājušies Latvijā, taču patiesībā man tas ir gluži vienaldzīgi, jo es neticu, ka 2007. gada Nazareth varētu būt kaut uz pusi tik labi kā 1977. gada Nazareth, bet pat tolaik viņi nebūtu bijuši mana mīļākā grupa pasaulē.
