Fantastic Mr. Fox

First, watch the trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2620588569/
Now that you saw the trailer, couple of questions:
How can your life be fantastic if your neighbors are not fantastic? I mean, something being fantastic basically means that it is perfect. If something disturbs this, it’s not fantastic.
Another thing, if Mr. Fox’s life is fantastic, why do they feel the [...]

Avatar

So I finally saw Avatar.
Seeing the movie started as an idea somewhere the previous week. We went to the cinema to find out that all the shows were sold out. Crap. With our lesson learned, the second time we bought the tickets online. We went to the cinema 1 hour before the movie started to [...]

Proud to be a … Nigerian?

Two headlines caught my eyes:
Sony changes advert after complaints from Nigerian government
District 9 Banned in Nigeria
Basically, Nigerian authorities taking action against some things that damage Nigeria’s image in the World.
To tell the truth, I’m impressed of how oficials from Nigeria stood up for their country(and people) and wish I would see some kind of action [...]

District 9

Every once in a while to theaters near comes a movie that just blow you away. District 9 is such a movie.
I went to see the movie out of curiosity. Saw the trailers before, didn’t except much except some random violent acts between human and aliens in a fight for supremacy. I couldn’t have been [...]

Brüno or how impolitically correct people really are

The movie is a so called comedy. Apart from effectively thrashing gays, Afro-Americans, people in fashion business, German/Austrian people and Jewish people (to name the major [...]

How a Romanian fought against Public Enemies

Public Enemies in this context:  a term which was first widely used in the United States in the 1930s to describe individuals whose activities were seen as criminal and extremely damaging to society. However, the phrase (often spelled “publick enemy”) has been used for hundreds of years to refer to pirates, outlaws, and rebels.
After seeing [...]

Another kind of American Dream

Just finished watching the movie: Off the Grid: Life On The Mesa
It’s a movie that want’s to be about what the real American Dream is about, but ends up [at least in my case] to be just very disturbing.
Short movie description:
Twenty-Five miles from town, a million miles from mainstream society, a loose-knit community of eco-pioneers, [...]

Prison Break with a twist

You probably know the Prison Break TV Series. One guy is going to prison to save his brother who is facing the death penalty… yada yada yada. They should have stopped after the first season. Maybe just because the show is too popular,  they have to keep going on and on with all kind of [...]

2 funny quotes

Quotes are from 2 movies and are simply hillarious.
1) From Yes Man, a movie with Jim Carey (not a :
CIA Officer: Now there’s another ‘Carl’ we knew, and we weren’t too fond of him, his name was ‘Marx’.
Nobody except us laughed at this joked it the whole teather… I wonder why?
And it [...]
