Spectre (I) (2015)

A Masterpiece

[10/10 · 9 November 2015]

A lot of people were worried about Spectre, and a lot of people disliked it.

After seeing it, I must say it has to be added to the classics along with Goldfinger, From Russia with Love, Octopussy, etc. Everything that James Bond is about and everything that a James Bond movie can be about: intrigue, gadgets, women, explosions, fights are in this incredible picture.

It is an absolute must see of our generation. Christoph Waltz again delivers on an incredible level and Daniel Craig is at his best James Bond. The leading ladies we find in Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux are all we could ask for in James Bond Girls.

The clichés that people worry about seeing in every other movie are perfectly added to Spectre and do not overpower the incredible plot.

There is a reason James Bond has had 24 movies to date and Spectre gives plenty of reasons to keep on having many more, hopefully directed by Sam Mendes and with music by Tom Newman.

Bref. (2011–2012)

Bref

[5 October 2011]

Bref is a France based short TV show that focuses on an everyday man who resumes some events in his life by starting most sentences with "bref" ("anyway" is he closest translation to the word). Throughout the series he introduces us to his habits, his friends, his family and personality. Each episode lasts about 1:45 min and shows very unimportant events happening around him but is able to make them funny and interesting. The viewer will enjoy it between two TV shows. The series is available on the official website of Canal + and seems to have a huge success in France. The show has been very acclaimed and produced already 17 episodes and seems to be scheduled for more.
