This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

Filmen slår ton med en gång. Den öppnar med att vi får träffa vår “hjälte”. Kameran närmar sig honom där han stold står i ett hav av tomhylsor. Under förtexten får vi följa en kulas “liv”. Från produktionen till dess slutet i huvudet på en minderårig i afrika. Hela filmen är melankolisk med den ena uppgången följd av en nergång. Härligt film med att mycket bra budskap bakom. Rekommenderas.

Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalize on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closest friends–who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Cary to Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, Paul Reiser and Sarah Silverman–to reminisce, analyze, deconstruct and deliver their their own versions of world’s dirtiest joke, an old burlesque, too extreme to be performed in public, called The Aristocrats.

Hur sjutton gör man en 1.30h lång film om ett kort skämt? Om du ställer den frågan. Titta på denna filmen. Hela filmen handlar om ett skämt kallat “The Aristocrats”, fast sett från en mängd olika komikers synpunker. Filmen är vissa delar riktigt underhållande och vissa delar rent tröttsam. Men jag är glad jag har sett den 🙂

John and Jeremy, single in their mid-30s, mediate divorces in D.C.; their summer social life consists of crashing weddings (always with a back story) to meet young women for a one-night stand. As John thinks about growing up, Jeremy convinces him to go to one more, for the daughter of the Treasury Secretary. Each catches the eye of a daughter of the host. Jeremy scores with Gloria, who proves to be a psycho clinger; John wants real romance with Claire, but she has a boyfriend, a privileged hound. Can John convince Jeremy to stick around long enough so he can woo Claire, and can he tell her the truth about himself before she finds out from someone else? What if he messes up?

Tycker denna var ganska medioker. Har svårt när folk använder konstiga situationer för egen vinning. Men filmen blir roligare efter en stund. Men både Vince Vaughn och Owen Wilson har gjort bättre filmer. Christopher Walken storspelar som vanligt 🙂

Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou and his crew–Team Zissou–set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly non-existant Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou’s partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be Zissou’s son, a beautiful journalist assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and Zissou’s estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor. They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy.

Så underbart…… konstig film. Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag ska tycka om den. Den äv väldigt segstartad, men när den kommer igång så fullständigt överöses man av sarkasmkomedi far att i nästa ögonblick bli allvarlig coh sedan göra tvära kast mellan tragedi och komedi. Konstig film, men oj så sevärd. Willem Dafoe gör en underbar roll som Klaus, filmen är nästan värs att se bara för honom 🙂

Testade min nya julklapp från mormor till denna. Ett par Sennheiser RS120. Fungerade finemang 🙂

She thinks it is perfect until everything goes downhill for them, based on Nick Hornby’s novel “Fever Pitch”

Jahopp, samma gamla vanliga recept. Kille möter tjej. Allt är bra. Det blir slitningar i förhållandet. Dom gör slut och sedan blir dom ihop i slutet av filmen och alla lever lyckliga i alla sina dagar. Ja, en riktig feel-good-movie. Inget bra, inget dåligt. Sevärt med en flickvän.
