Clube do Tom is an official meeting point for fans.
You can find the discography, lyrics, curiosities, and even original recordings to listen.
I found Jobim’s original handwriting for the song “Aguas de Marco” interesting and graphically beautiful. Published in 1972 in occasion of its first recording, in the “Pasquim” newspaper, Rio de Janeiro.
Final Destination 2, 2003, by David R. Ellis
An effective thriller… with creative and good-quality death scenes… 😉
A girl has a premonition of a highway accident and prevents a group of people from dying. But Death had already made up its mind…
The Italian Job, 2003, by Gary Gray. With Mark Walberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton.
Action movie, the perfect entertainment, as its meaning: “something diverting or engaging” (Merrian-Websters Online).
Thieves, gold, speed, traitor, explosions, car chases, with a nice screen play and famous actors.
The Big One, 1998, by Michael Moore.
It is the third of Moore’s films that we see. We started with the blockbusting Bowling for Columbine (2002), that was a punch in the face. A portrait of contemporary american behavior and (for me) an introduction for their politics.
We liked Moore and his serious-critique-with-irony-and-fun style so much that we ended up seeing Roger&Me (1989) a couple of months later. Also a really good movie.
Finally yesterday we saw The Big One. As we could expect, he is simply genius the way he presents his cause, and you feel completely involved. The dirty things you always knew that surrounded us gets more clear.
Milano in August is completely deserted. Everybody is out of town, everything is closed including shops, bakeries, and bars. Almost every company closes its doors and doesn’t even answer its phones. All workers take their annual vacation at the same time!
It is incredible how in the year 2003, Italy – a G7 member – can sustain a 20 day “general-strike” once a year!
Yesterday we went to see Kurt Elling at Blue Note Milano!
He is a nice jazz singer from Chicago.
And Blue Note Milano is one of NY’s original franchising!
Moebius, 1996, by Prof. Gustavo Masquera R.
Interesting movie by the students of Universidad del Cine, Argentina.
Buenos Aires metro has missing train inside its net. A mathematician will help findind out were is it.
I’ve been away because I was changing blog system from Blogger to Movable Type.
The never-ending improvements…
Today there was a nice farewell aperitivo for a dear german friend of mine. Bye bye, Heike! See you in Berlin…… or back here in Milano! 😉
1991, by David Cronenberg.
A surrealistic movie: I would suggest not to try to go in depth with the meanings… it is hard to understand what the hell is going on!
But it is really fun if you simply enjoy the crazy events that happens with the main character.
Here is a nice review I agree with.
