Release the critic
Or just another movie inventory, as it were.
The Line of Beauty is a British Angels in America, which means there are a lot of people in this BBC series dying of AIDS, living in sin, coming to terms with their sexuality, otherwise disorders or society; the playwright gets to use “darling” more abundantly, and the cast director has to find an appropriate actress for the part of the Iron Lady. I have enjoyed the whole series with a home cooked meal, a bottle of wine, and a lot of cuddling. Really an enjoyable session, were it only for the pretty face of Dan Stevens, to boot from.
This next review is about “another German production without any sense, the whole film is boring and really not worth seeing it” as its so far only IMDB reviewer puts it. And I couldn’t disagree more. I’ll give you that, you most probably need an appropriate mind climate to go through this movie, but I think it is worth. I was surprised in a pleasant way with the very well constructed cinematography (and a special thumbs up for the director of photography). The story starts like your regular joke with a three situation/character plot: Pink, a poetess, has three lovers. She has looks and social status and success and love when she decides to lead a virtuous life from that moment on. That is without renouncing any of those things she has.
OK. I must have been bitten with this vampire-mania, too, because I have decided to catch up with the Twilight trilogy (is it?). More explicitly, with the first two releases, you know them: Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I’ll spare you the “modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story”, she’s a human he’s a vampire affair, you know the stereotype. This is all eye-candy, brain washing, eye-candy and more eye candy. And some special effects. The kind of things that first makes me wonder if there is something wrong with me, and then, later, pops up this idea that I should turn the whole thing into some formal research, just to justify my otherwise unaccountable obsession.
Other sleepless nights were spent on axn.ro where I have been watching Genesis, a Spanish spoken CSI, and Being Human, where a vampire (again!), a werewolf and a ghost try to fit in.
Until next time!
