Another film which is more of a 'must see'




Though it is the year of 2008 currently, I haven't seen some if the old good films so far. One of them is Virgin Suicides (1999) starring Josh Hartnett, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst and even Hayden Christensen taking a cameo role.
Actually, this film was especially touching for me because it reminded me of my own life, when my parents did their best to restrict me from everything outside the home. I was really obsessed with the idea of suicude...

My mom has always been fond of gigantic things - she bakes huge pies, she lives in a temple-sized apartment... And when she came to buying a new TV, of course, she bought a huge plasma!
Now we are happy to have a real home theater and yeasterday night I watched Hellboy just like in on the movie screen! I changed my point of view on large plasmas and now I'm sure it is worth buying if you are a real movie fan or just a lover of visual effects. So, if you have money or a good credit card - go and buy one!

I Am Legend (Post III)

I read the book this weekend! Well, and it impressed me more than i expected, in fact. Another thing to be mentioned is the second title of the book - The Omega Man, having the meaning "the last man" - very conceptual, isn't it?
Now, some words about the content and the message of the book. The story unflods in the 70s of the 20th century (the book was written in 1953, by the way). An unknown virus was spread rapidly and turned the people into vampires. Well, I think there is no need to retell the plot, as any of you can read the novel by yourself (it is quite short, by the way). What really needs mentioning is the idea being expressed by the author: the norm is defined by the majority, and Nevill, being the last healthy man on the Earth was not normal. He used to kill the infected, family by family, in the daylight, and after dawn they found their friends, relatives and children dead and these were painful losses for them, just like it could be for any human beings.
That's why the ill were afraid of him, hated him and caught him finally to put him to death, as there was no place for Robert Nevill in the future state of the infected people.
Was it a bit of intrigue? Then read the book, it's worth it!

Better late than never..


I have just watched 'I Am Legend'... I know you all saw it in summer))) I liked the film! The first good film with Will Smith, indeed. All the monsters and the ruined New York were in no comparison to the play work of Will Smith. He was really convincing! And that cute dog...
Ironically, I have just heard about a new treatment for flu, without any injections... Hmm... I'm scared))
