Pearl Harbor Day

Budapest, December 7, 2OO6
Let's remember Pearls Harbor as we did the Slamomo -and Viva Zapata the Shoe merchant, who said (at least, in the pic, Brando said): "My people need tortillas --not promises!"

Just came from seeing the latest Woody Allen-Scarlett Jo collaboration, "SCOOP". Well, he musta scooped this one up from the bottom of the barrel. Light fare, to say the least --lighter than air on a Sunday afternoon in the Arizona ...
Scarlet --well, yeah --she's easy to look at, but she better look beyond Allen if she wants to get serious about her career. Jack Hughsome --or wuzzit Hugh Jackoff -- Good looking Aussie chap, but little or no screen charisma -- Woody obviously threw this plot together just so he could spend more time following Johansson's lovely little ass around the set for a few weeks. Didn't find it very funny, and, except for the one scene with Scarlett in skin-tight one-piece bathing suit -- pretty boring -- but, okay -- she's easy on the eyes. The flim was so flimsy it was like Chinese takeout in the Jewish neighborhood -- fills you up for five minutes, then you're hungry again -- I actually felt so unsatisfied that I wanted to see a real movie right afterward, but it was too late --as the Pushkin Theater let out for the night.

But there were some good trailers: Next film I def wanna see is Andy Garcia's "Lost City" about Castro's rise to power in the fifties -- with, among others --Dustin Hoffman and Broken-Flowers Bill Murray --that one's got to be interesting -- Also Altman's swansong, the one about the radio guy in Minnesota --with Streep singing -- belting out songs (sic) -- looks interesting --and of course, I haven't yet seen BORAT --Have you ?

And that's it for Pearl Harbor Day in Budapest, 2ÖÖ6
