These last weeks have been a hell of a time with referee reports on the papers we have submitted and trying to finish the latest manuscript; but we have managed to squeeze some time to watch some films and television series...
- Rio, ***A very well done animation by the guys at Blue Sky studios, the same that made Ice Age. The music is fantastic, the locations are amazing. I really didn't care about the story, I just sat down, enjoyed the crazy angry birds cameos, the wonderful music and the virtual tour of Rio. It's money well spent at your local cinema.
- Thor, ***
Disclosure: I'm really waiting for the Avengers movie. So you can imagine that at least one star is just due to my hype about watching Robert Downey Jr., Edward Norton, Stellan Skarsgard, Natalie Portman, and Samuel Jackson directed by Joss Whedon. Anyway, the film is entertaining, the story came a little bit close to what Thor is about in the Marvel comic books and, again, it is money well spent at your local cinema.
- Gnome and Juliet, **
"Two households, both alike in dignity. In fair Verona, here we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclea. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life..." Well, they actually don't end up dead in this one. It's a funny film, but it is not a masterpiece of good jokes or animation...
This week, I'm really sad because "The Big Bang Theory" just finished its fourth season one week ago. The season's finale was not bombastic but it was actually unexpected, so Priya is going back to India, what will Leonard do?
Glee! has just finished its second season in the city that never sleeps. The kids were free in NYC visiting all the landmarks and, of course, Broadway. This season's ending was a little bit too cheesy.
