L'AMOUR A SES RAISONS ***, The Prodigies **half, UNE SEPARATION***half,

L'AMOUR A SES RAISONS ***,
The first half has pretty women and some funny parts, charming. The second part with Robert de Niro and Monica Bellucchi is much more interesting. Mainly Monica Bellucchi is so sexy and charnel and very very yummy and nice. De Niro is not convincing as a professor, he seem too stressed out w too many lines on his face to play this character. Hes more like neurotic retired cop - nothing "professorial" about him, no intellectual vibes coming. But still the two somehow makes it quite watchable.

The Prodigies **half
Animation, 3D, the characters look like clay dough modeling, simulated real movie. Somehow, yes, its a great deal of work, lots of effort. Story is v trite and not convincing. Thin. Good try.


UNE SEPARATION***half
story v well planned, everything works. Everybody has difficulties, random acts, errors, human emotional explosions leading to tragedy. Religion, reality. Very gentle and handsome men and women all bind in a strife situation.

Very well made, story has intricate relations and the film maker took time to tell each persons story, even comic book characters has time to "grow up" and learn to be better. :) Many different sets in different countries, beautiful mansions. The film takes care to make things work. Which is a lot more than many of these action-packed comic book to film flicks.

Story is set in an esthetic retro 60s scenario, white leather jumpsuits w wide belts and low cleavage; mini skirt princess line w laces and ago go style knee high boot, sock and shoes... roundish tv w Kennedy (at that time, tvs were no longer roundish, or were they? but looks very stylish!) Very interesting details - eye candy plus story, full service for a film, entertaining.

Immensely watchable.

London Boulevard **half, Kung Fu Panda2 ***, Limitless ***

London Boulevard **half

very stylish movie, story is forced. Not logical in many details.
A mix between "Blow up" and "Clock Work Orange". Very beautiful camera work.


Kung Fu Panda ***

I was looking forward to this flick, but the story is a let down. However it is still a very entertaining Chinese content animation.

Limitless ***

Interesting plot, also parts are not logical. Especially the ending, so easily? You could get this super drug and get a super antidote for 2million dollars? I am impressed by the actor though. He looked thoroughly like a moneyless writer at the beginning, and little by little became very glossy and handsome. He was handsome and lovelly at the beginning and handsome and mannequin slick at the end. Just makes me think, yes, in some cases, clothing really makes a big difference.

Fast and Furious ***

Fast and Furious no5 ***

Action cop/robber, robber friending cop, cop turned robber story w many beautiful cars

Live action, cute girls, muscle men guys. Dialogue is clear. Why who does what, like a comic book, everything is clearly delivered.
Sometimes when I see these big muscle guys, I think, could they bend over? Do they have room to bend over? Wouldnt the big muscles be blocking the way forearm to upper arm etc? :)
I didnt think I would enjoy this movie, but I did! Not a moment of dead air.

three 4 leaf clovers

not two, but three 4 leaf clovers!

4 leaf clover found under Horse chestnut bonsai!

Automatic growth under the Horsechestnut bonsai. I notice the Horsechestnut trees around our house has brown spots - so I quickly removed it from infront of the window, just in case the disease would spread in the air to the bonsai. Hope it will not catch the tree disease.

Not one, but TWO four leaves clover!

Voir la mer**

Voir la mer**
light romantic, French pink holiday comedy

The actress is very charming and healthily natural beautiful. She has that "little lost girl" innocence role to play - however, for someone who is an orphan, she seemed too well adjusted for the role.
Maybe the director wants to create a movie for someone?
She is seen in many scenes kissing, nude, v pretty.
The characters, younger brother v charming, older brother also is attractive because he comes across as a sincere guy. Both are car mechanics, so simple healthy do it guys. :)
And a crazy travelling supermarket jewellery vendor representative. For him to give a ring to a girl doesnt have the same meaning as an ordinary non-professional guy to give a ring to a girl friend. So story wise, it makes sense. He is also a nice guy, though little bit broken somewhere as he runs around w a gun in his hand and threatens ex-girl friends. His face is soft and a childish smile from a man in his 50s, thats not so bad.
Fun movie. The story even though made for a summer flick distraction takes troubles to show some emotional depth of each character.
For example the younger brother likes to sleep in the berth that the gal just slept in - because it smells so gd! The older brother is not so innocent. He doesnt get enamoured by these little details anymore.

Then a funeral.
Older people selling their camping car.
Second hand car salesman/repair man teaching the young brother to do car stunts.
Supermarket jewellery sales woman.

All these are very ordinary everyday French characters.
Very nice portrait of everyday France.

I like it, this pink movie.
