The Teletubbies shows invite the youngest children to the world of reading, counting, singing, dancing, exploring, and so much more. Its educational value is tremendous, adapted to the pace and mind of the youngest children. After having watched a lot of these episodes over and over (yes, I have a couple of Teletubby loving kids) I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the best children programs ever aired on television, everything produced in incredible detail. Just a pity that not all the 365 episodes are available on DVD. Please understand - this series is for the youngest children, and only they will fully enjoy the world of the Teletubbies and learn a lot from it.

It Rains on Our Love
(1946)
A truly sweet and exciting feel-good movie
28 December 2008
This is a romantic and exciting feel-good movie about a lovable naive couple with a questionable background, trying to start all over together and adapt themselves to the society. The young star director Ingmar Bergman here effectively portrays typically good and bad sides of the human behaviour. The main theme returns over and over again - how do people live with their past, and how do they handle the resulting conflicts and moral dilemmas? Despite the age of this movie (released in 1946) it does not feel old fashioned in any way. Common to Bergman's movies to come, this one is way ahead of its time. The story and acting feel just as fresh as any modern movie and is a pure enjoyment to watch, without any boring or embarrassing moments.
Borat
(2006)
Challenging comedy at its best
29 June 2007
By switching personality from "Da Ali G" to "Borat", Sacha Baron Cohen shows that he is a comic genius with a great diversity.
His witty style with challenging satire does not always go along well with all people. But everyone with a sense of humour, self irony and capacity to laugh at the absurd has the capacity to appreciate it.
Nobody featured in this movie can escape from the sarcastic absurdities - Jews, Muslims, deeply religious Christians, white guys who think they are cool but just embarrassing, black people, driving instructors, new yorkers, conservative Texas politicians... the list goes on.
The delicate timing is admirable. Needless to say, this movie gave me lots of good laughs.

Mr. Bean's Holiday
(2007)
Disappointment
28 June 2007
First let me clarify: I love the first Mr Bean movie and many of his TV episodes. Rowan Atkinson is a comic genius, no doubt.
But, in comparison with the first movie, this successor is a huge disappointment. With the exception of a few scenes this movie is unfortunately a waste of time and money. The storyline is sometimes incomprehensible. The French girl with the never ending smile never fits in well as her relation to Mr Bean is strange and unnatural. There are so many forced scenes and bad timings in this movie that it becomes awkward watching through and only made me yawn. Sorry but Rowan Atkinson could have made something *much much* better than this.

Satie and Suzanne
(1994)
A dance performance
10 January 1999
Erik Satie, played by Nicholas Pennell, is sitting at his table, thinking of the only love affair of his life while Victoria Tennent and her dancing team does a great dance performance to Satie's piano works, interpreted by Reinbert de Leeuw.
This is a film for those interested in modern dance and the music of Erik Satie. It's not a documentary with real dialogs.
