JOHN MALKOVICH stars as Alan Conway, a perfect stranger, who passed himself off as one of the greatest film directors of all time, Stanley Kubrick. Conway is brought uproariously to life by John Malkovich in a jaw-dropping tour de force, in which he stops at nothing in depicting Conway's shameless character, whether cadging a few quid for cab fare, or pulling off more outrageous scams
O poveste foarte interesanta si true..ish:)) Malkovich joaca ..impecabil. Am ras.

This tender story of two teenager's sexual coming of age in a working-class development in London is an inspiring, tender, emotional tale. Jamie is a reserved teen, close to his pub manager mom, who prefers old Hollywood musicals to sports. His friendship with his hunky neighbor Ste, a fellow student who suffers through a troubled family life, soon develops into a sexual and eventually a loving relationship. How the two boys tentatively handle their nascent sexual drives and how it affects their family and friends is handled in both a fresh and surprisingly upbeat fashion. A wonderful comedy-drama and possibly the best coming out film to date.
Probabil ca azi trebuia sa vad filmul asta. Nu stiu daca melodia de pe montajul de mai jos putea sa fie inlocuita de altceva:)) Cred ca asa se joaca soarta.
THE WAVE is based on a real event from a Californian high school in 1967 and transposed to Germany today. A cautionary tale about the roots of fascism. The film opens in a rush of energy with charismatic teacher Rainer Wegner beginning a week long class on autocracy. To indifferent students, its a hard sell, but Wegner gets an idea for an experiment: as their leader he asks the students to call him Mr Wegner, chooses the motto strength through discipline, creates a logo, decides that everyone wears a white shirt, and names the group, The Wave adding a secret sign reminiscent of a Nazi salute. Much to their surprise the students find that they like the power of unity and soon this new found discipline spills over to other school activities and newcomers join the group. The Wave gives the kids something to believe in for a change, until they go too far and The Wave spins out of control
German Movie based on the book by Morton Rhue. With Jürgen Vogel, Max Riemelt, Elyas M'Barek, Jenifer Ulrich and Christiane Paul
Am terminat (in timpul in care un prieten avea un interviu) si ultima povestire din cartea Inei. O povestire pe care o citisem deja cu luni in urma, pe un blog privat, secret. Insa pentru ca atunci cand am citit-o am fusherit-o de fapt, vineri am citit cu ochii deschisi. Dureros de clar. Am trait emotia pierderii pe care Ina a suferit-o acum cateva luni, un an deja. Culegerea de nuvele m-a facut sa rad pana la ultima poveste. Pe care am plans-o.
