Art Nouveau.....?
So I've finally had two days off, after working for 7 straight days. Whew.
The weather has been horrible, the previous weekend, summer was still here, daytime highs of 25C, nice, sit outside, drink tea and eat scones weather.
Then...a week ago. A huge low pressure system moved in, how big? It covered half of Canada. The result? Temperatures plunged, desperate moves to bring out the jackets and wintery gear. There was one day, it snowed (yes snow in summer!) west and north of calgary, whilst it rained non-stop here for 4 days. Another day, it was -1 overnight. Nuts. Thank god I got trained in cold weather at Lake Louise.
But life goes on, but sigh, it will officially be Fall this saturday. Boy did it arrive with a bang. Drat summer is over.
But nuts with it, because it was so miserable hanging out in the cold and colder still with windchill, I caught 2 movies yesterday and today.
Both stylo milo, arty farty type ones.
Part 1:
Crank, dang if this wasn't a moving MTV action bang. And I really mean MTV. Jason Statham still looks pretty good, except his cockney accent is showing through now.
Miami Vice. Also arty farty. Colin Farrell was surprisingly good. He was actually better than Jamie Fox. A more violent, more intricate plot a much more cooler version of the TV series....except....where the heck was the Ferrari Testarossa? They used a Ferrari 420 Spyder for pete's sake. That's like driving a Honda Jazz when you can have a Accord. Why not the Enzo? Ok, enough steam off my chest. But overall the movie was entertaining (I was surprised) albeit rather bloody.
Gong Li, the main female charactor also raised my blood pressure a bit (just a wee bit, ok ok a lot) with her sultry looks and steamy love scenes. Every bit the come seduce me, sophisticated bad girl, but she had a funny charactor twitch, blame the director. But still MMMMMmmmmmmMMmmm.
But the best bit is yet to come. Yet another war movie opening this weekend! But this time about those intrepid men in their flying machines. Yummy! And that hunk James Franco, and its got my nick on the title too. Nice!
And (I'm not done yet) Casino Royale 007 has a new trailer....cool! Damn shame about the Aston, why can't he keep things in one piece?

If James Bonds keeps all his lovely exotic cars in one piece in every movie, all the stunning sequences involving car chases and crashes would appear to be unreal. It's more fun to watch them getting wrecked. Afterall, it's just an escapist movie. We watch them for the thrills and spills and to escape from our boring reality :) It's like James Bond dodging all the bullets from enemy fire while he's able to gun all of his enemies down effortlessly :p
