Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (2013)
Propaganda
First of all, this is not a "musical punk group". No one ever heard any song from them, except maybe their ridiculous performance in the Churh. Let's quickly recall all their public so called "performances":
1. Public sex in a botanical museum, which was video taped and uploaded to the internet. If you google it, you still have a good chance of finding it. I believe the team was call "Gruppa Voina" at that time.And if I'm not mistaken, they celebrated Medvedev's presidency in such a way. Tolokonnikova was 9 month pregnant at the time.
2. Other members of the team carried out a frozen chicken in their vaginas out of a grocery store. Kids and other people were present. videotaped and uploaded to the internet.
3. Tolokonnikova and others hang by neck in a grocery store several mannequins representing visual minorities (people of Asian background). Public was present in the store. Again, "the performance" was videotaped and uploaded.
4. And of course, the famous performance in the beautiful Christ the Savior Church. Usually people are required to be quiet and decent in this place. Yet they cursed, jumped, etc. I'm surprised that visitors didn't beat and kick them out. If it hadn't happened in Moscow but in some rural church, that would have been the most probable outcome.
If it's art, or "political protest", then I'm from Mars. It's good that finally they were stopped before they did something even more outrageous. And if they haven't learnt the lesson - well, Mr. Putin is not going anywhere any time soon.
Extract (2009)
so-so
I think it is an average movie, and that was disappointing. I expected another masterpiece from Mike Judge after his Office Space. I admit there were a couple of funny jokes, but nothing too special to remember. One of the most ridiculous part of the movie was the main character's wife, who kind of "forgot" that one of the reasons people marry for is to have sex. However, she slept with a pool guy on the first occasion, and then the character of Jason Bateman was too shy to even bring up the subject of the adultery. Is it how normal guys behave these days? I don't know, looks like another movie with feminist agenda to me. I voted 4 for the movie, mostly because it had a couple of good actors and for a couple of jokes. Mike Judge could have done much better - we saw it in Office Space.
I Love You, Man (2009)
kind of a stupid idea
The story was awful. What kind of a writer could think of such a plot? I don't know any man around me who doesn't have at least a friend or two. Especially I don't understand how men could spend time and make friends like that. Dudes, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Men discovered new continents, fought wars to defend their countries... Now you watch that stupid shoot about going for a "man date" or "never punching anyone in the face"?! What media does to people... It looks like slowly but steadily men are turned into women, at least on the screen. What will they show us next? How cool it is to buy some roses or, perhaps, chocolates to your best man? Yuck! Go grab some beer instead, don't waste your time on this stuff.
