Very Small Feet

I finally went to see Logan last week...  ... Damn!  So let me start form the beginning. I enjoy X men franchise... but I haven't seen them all. I missed the Wolverine  and the X Men Apocalypse (from few summers ago). But unfortunately I have seen the last stand... it was poo.  But nether the less I do enjoy my superheroes with mutant flare.  I have heard good things about Logan. But also that it has very graphic violence and is a very different film to all the others... and weren't these people right! Good story telling, and truly heart breaking throughout. You know when you see a film where kids are in peril it is sad but when you are a parent and ... well I was in tears good few times.  It is also a good stand alone film. Like Fantastic beasts. You don't have to be invested into the universe. But you still can enjoy the film.  The young Dafne Keen is great, such a excellent performance from such a young actor.  Now t...

I was super lucky to have some cinema time just before the new year. I went to see Fantastic beasts and Moana. Moana will have her very own post later but for now let me tell you about the Fantastic beasts.  I know I was very late to see it, and managed to actually stay away from any plot spoilers too.    There were some nice twists in it.  I am glad this film came out now and not earlier. The special effects were truly special and the creatures were more than magical.  I truly admire the JK Rowling mind, to imagine all these creatures how they look and act. Put the entire universe together. Magic!   I am actually making my mother to read the Harry Potter books.  Oh that's another thing about the Beasts, it is totally independent film and I guess the book from HP story's.  personally I actually preferred this timeline, shiny roaring twenties in NYC. Beautiful costumes, oh I loved Queenie way to talk... "Oh honey..." she says...     and i...

"Let's be bad moms" says Mila Kunis in this gem of the film in answer to the pressure of being this picture perfect mother, that bakes, cleans, helps with homework, works and also lost all her baby weight and always looks amazing... (and all this in one sentence!!) I would like to applaud, actually make like a one woman standing ovation, to all the people who made this film. This film feels real, about every day mumming struggles. I have to confess that good few times I wanted to clap or shout "You go girl!" during the film. Basically it is about mothers, PTA, schools, children and mama gang. With mainly female cast too. There are only few men in this film, and they do not have a center stage. One particular actor is there just to look very very good. And boy he is does this so well....  This film made me laugh so hard that I have cried and almost peed my self.  There is however some criticism about how Mila Kunis' heroine...

Well Pixar did it again! Inside out was brilliant!  Look how cute they all are! And they live in everyone's head. The last title screens were soo funny especially the cat ones. However, it stressed me out no end. ... I saw it through the panic mama's eyes. Would my baby be feeling this way? Would he be able to express his feelings? PANIC PANIC PANIC! And then there was the imaginary friend.... sobs! But it was really funny and very clever.  You know how sometimes cartoons are sex based, like Cars are for boys, so is the Toy Story and obliviously Frozen is for girls, this is not this kind of cartoon. Same way Lego Movie is for everyone really! 

It appears that I am not very familiar with work of Gustav Klimt... I suppose if I prefer the impressionist and Van Gough to anything else... well here are few of my favourite painting...  Starry night Van Gough 1889 Blue Dancers Edgar Degas Last day of Pompeii Karl Briulov Haystacks Claude Monet Yes I know it is very mainstream... and not original... oh and this one by August Renoir  But I also enjoy films about the art... Hated Girl with Pearl Earring by the way, but I loved Monument men and just been to see the Lady in Gold. (or maybe it is the only films about WWII I can watch?!) No matter what my favourite podcast said, well it wasn't Kermod's review so I would like another opinion, I truly enjoyed it! Dame Helen Mirren is just so believable.... but then I thought why did her character remained her Austrian accent, then it hit me, she still spoke German with her husband.... things like that took my mind off the Nazi...
