Zero Dark 30

A late Sunday evening at le Mercury in Place Garibaldi.  Quite a few people who spent quite some time selecting the 'siege parfait' to watch the movies - an interesting comedy in itself!  Shall I talk about Zero Dark 30, why not!  As a movie it had pace, keeps your interest for sure and I believe tries to tell it like it happened.  So, as a movie, it was simply brilliant - yes, brilliant.

Here is the but.  But, I guess it must be me, I am heartily sick of the earnest Clarice types.  There is nothing engaging about them, they are relentless for sure and they are uncompromising - is it because they can get away with it or is everyone else so weak?  Set this against the macho gung-ho special forces types who came across to me as rather YMCA then my perspective on the whole changed.  It became a rather frightening real life game with other people's lives in a shadowy world of  bizarre relationships.

Les fonctionnaires - Comedie de Nice


Les Fonctionnaires l'est une comedie bouffonne en le tradition grand de comedie Francais.  Amusant.   Dans toute le monde les fonctionnaires sont la meme,  strerotype.   L'auteur et l'acteur principal est la meme personne qui changer son role plusieurs fois pendant la spectacle.  Pour une piece de theatre de CdN il etait a peu long ....

C'est ok mais pas mieux que ok!

Robert's work ....

I visited Robert's apartment where he does his amazing work, and yes they are amazing.  Life size and 3 times life size!  The style is sweeping, flowing - very Nouveau - love it.  The light was abysmal, the flash helped a little ....

Dredd

I have selected an amazingly crafted bit of dialogue from Dredd demonstrating an absolute peak of writing perfection :

"Interesting"

Sums it up.  Fun in a barbaric sort of way.  

Photography wise I go along with the word 'Awesome' - grim but awesome.

Pure escapism.

Recommended?  Sure, if you want a mind numbing experience with a great soundtrack - missed that point, the music is good in a neighbor annoying sort of way. Bump up the base!
