2012 - OHLALA REVIEW(no spoilers)

Roland Emmerich has given movie watchers several apocalyptic films in the past in INDEPENDENCE DAY and THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, and he offers another look at the end of the world in 2012. This action film stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Amanda Peet.



Thanks to our friend Donald, last night we have got the chance to see the movie, and we must admit that we loved it. When you go to a movie like this you should know that it is all about special effects, amazing unbelievable but very realistic escapes, over the top story line, but what you rarely see that at the end of the day it all comes together very nicely into a fun movie, and it does. Living in Los Angeles it made it really hard to watch the destruction of the city, as it is pretty well executed. John Cusack is really good (this man can play anything) and even though the movie is not about acting the entire cast did a great job...

We loved the Russian pilot played by Johann Urb that you can watch on Wednesdays in Eastwick, and soon will be able to catch in the movie called Pornstar



So when the movie comes to theaters near you grab your friends buy some popcorn and go for a Six Flag Mountain like wild ride. Do not expect great story telling, but rather painting like visuals and lot of action and very realistic and "scary" special effects.

A SINGLE MAN by TOM FORD+ W Magazine Interview

A story that centers on an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles. Cast includes: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Lee Pace and Nicholas Hoult.

It’s rare that we get a true insight into the psyche of figures in the spotlight, especially men like Tom Ford. Always sleek, composed and immaculate, the charismatic designer who, as creative director, turned around Italian fashion house Gucci, has opened up to W magazine in a revealing interview that betrays a vulnerability not usually seen from him. And, according to Tom, this composed exterior is completely intentional.

'I have a very dark side, a side that has struggled a lot with depression, and I’ve never been one who showed that to the outside world. I think when you say to someone, "Good morning. How are you?" they should say, "Great, terrific," because everyone struggles in life. The Yves Saint Laurent thing used to drive me nuts – his depressions, his alcoholism, his whatever. Most people have a lot of problems. You can define yourself by them, or you can realize that everyone is going through what you’re going through and you make the best of it and you get on with your life and you don’t necessarily inflict that, because others probably have that too. They’re just not inflicting it on you.'
