The weirdest thing about “Tamara Drewe” is that the story is about everyone else except her. Of course she plays a very important role, but I didn’t care for her as much as I did for the people surrounding her. The film breaks the notion of a quiet […]
What we have here is a story of two people driving around Tuscani, talking, talking and talking about very little. Now I don’t usually have a problem with that, as long as it keeps me awake and interested. Afterall, I’m a huge fan of Woody Allen, and we […]
It all started with a TV show called “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, featuring five British comedians, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, and an american named Terry Gilliam.

Jean-Dominique Bauby thought he had everything he wanted in life when a sudden stroke leaves him completely paralysed except for his left eye. But with the aid of his nurses, he manages to dictate his memoir, one blink at a time. Potentially sad and melancholic movie puts you […]
