Today I spent most of the second half of the day playing paintball. I had some great time and I have made few nice pictures. I am actually a bit overwhelmed with the experience and so I will need some time to write everything down.
Enjoy the photos and stay tuned for the coverage of the event.
Have you ever asked yourself or anyone else why the sky is blue? Or the grass is green? Or water is wet? Or any other of the famous ‘why’es? Maybe someone is bothering you with these questions… If that is so, www.why-is-the-sky-blue.tv is just for you. It answers these and many more questions in a simple and clear language.
I would like to remind everyone about a couple of events that will take place in Limassol in the near future.
Chesters Beer Festival. It will take place on 25, 26, and 27 of August. It is the 7th time Chesters organizes this event, which is a relatively long history. Event program and more information will be soon available at Chesters Bar website.
Limassol Wine Festival. As usual this time of year, Limassol Wine Festival will be welcoming all tourists and locals from 31st of August until 12th of September. I will try to attend it this year for pure photographic reasons. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any website dedicated to the event. The best page that I could find is here.
Drink safely or don’t drink at all. :)
I just finished watching “So I Married an Axe Murderer” on TV. Very nicely done comedy that is. Both Mike Myers and Nancy Travis are acting excellent.
Actually, I remember that this is not the first time I see this film, but I sure did laugh a lot anyway. My favourite parts: problem with the big capuchino in the beginning, all songs from the “Women!” series, Charlie helping Harriet in the butcher’s shop, Charlie’s father joking about kid’s huge head, and then all Myer’s scared and worried faces along the film.
This movie is what they call “an old one, but a good one”. I’ll vote for a 7 out of 10 for it with no hesitation.
“U.S. Marshals” was on TV today. I am sure everyone has seen a movie where a guy was working for the government doing some dirty work (aka “special operations” and “black ops”) and then he got set up with a couple of homicides hanging on his neck, so he has to escape from prison to avoid capital punishment and clear his name. And there is usually this smart detective that is chasing him and finds out all about this guy’s story and wants to help him, but he still has to catch him. And so they run until one of them doesn’t kill the bad guy who masterminded the setup. Sounds familiar?
Well, “U.S. Marshals” is exactly this kind of movie. But it is properly done. I mean when the story is not a surprise anymore (about 10 minutes from the starting titles, and it took me so long because I was 8 minutes late) the audience is occupied with paying attention to everything else except the plot. So, what’s there? The first thing that gets discovered is that the film is full of celebrities: Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr., Joe Pantoliano and more. Further on, after all celebrities are recognized and remembered, special effects come to mind. And they are good too. I mean crashing the regular-sized aircraft is not the cheapest way producers can go help the guy escape from prison. :) Music was great (reminded me of the Rambo’s first blood somehow). Pace was good. Dialogs are natural (film-kind natural) and entertaining. Good acting.
Films like this don’t usually score high on my list, but I am pretty confident that 7/10 is a fair grade.
