This part is slightly weaker than the first two. While the first two parts were dealing more with the future, which is always more interesting to watch, this one was about the westernish past. And as much as I appreciate a joke or two about the old stuff, I still prefer my time travelling movies to deal with the future.
Nice film none-the-less and fits the series exactly as it should.
The Legend of Zorro
There are some films that I just can’t miss – I have to see them and I have to see them on the big screen. “The Legend of Zorro” is one of them.

Neurologist say on the MRI scan
We took Maxim to the neurologist (Dr.Rumyana). She checked the results of the MRI scan and confirmed that everything looks OK and there are no pressure points on Maxim’s facial nerve or anywhere near. Good news.
Chances are, she said, that we won’t need any operations. All we have to do is massage his face about three times a day and ask Dr.Simos for some vitamins.
She also noticed that there were some improvements since our last visit to her about three month ago. She said that now Maxim’s eyes are the same – before you could see that one of his eyes was opened wider than the other. Not anymore though. And she also said that his face is getting better.
Olga can’t see the difference. I can, but only when I compare his current pictures to his older pictures. Hopefully, soon the only thing where it will be obvious will be the pictures.
Maxim’s reflexes were checked and we answered a whole lot of questions about his development and growth and Dr.Rumyana confirmed that he is doing very well in all other departments.
Next time we’ll see her some time in May to see if Maxim’s speech will be affected in any way. I hope not.
Back to the Future Part II
The television is getting better. Apparently they decided to show the complete trilogy – one part every day. Today they showed the second part – “Back to the Future Part II“.

This part is somewhat weaker than the first film, but it’s worth seeing anyway. Some of the ideas for the future were really cool – others sucked completely. 15 years later it’s easy to say though.
The atmosphere of the film follows the first part very closely and that’s what counts, isn’t it?
Strongly recommended too.
