Here is an excellent short film – “Validation“.

Firstly, we do need to smile more.  And enjoy life.  Secondly, we need to remember that our words and actions, no matter how small and insignificant we think they are, have the power to affect other people’s lives in deepest of ways.

Trailers : Red

With “Expendables” coming to Cyprus cinemas this Friday, there’s not much left to wait for, right?  Well, almost.  There is this new movie coming out on October 15th, called “Red“, which stands for “Retired, Extremely Dangerous”.  Judging by the trailer it seems to be in one of my favorite genres – action comedy.  Starring Bruce Willice, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovich, it’s a good candidate for the top of my waiting list right now.

There is also this trailer, in case you want more.

Indian pole gymnastics

I’ve seen plenty of awesome gymnastics videos on YouTube, but this one still stands up there with the best ones.  I wish they’d do more stuff like this on the actual Olympic Games.  Maybe more people would’ve watched them.

P.S.: And, yes, if you were wondering, I watched this clip with while laying on a couch, with a can of beer in my hand.

The A-Team

A few weeks ago I went to the cinema to watch the movie re-make of the 1983 TV series – “The A-Team“.  I haven’t seen the original, but I’ve heard a lot about it.  As for the new movie – I only saw the trailer, and I was hooked.  It seemed like my kind of action movie.

And it turned out to be even better than I expected.  From the first few moments, the film sets the mood and establishes itself as an entertainment-only flick.  What follows a non-stop waterfall of action and witty humor.  As far as action comedy goes, I think it’s one of the best films in the last few years.  Sure, “Iron Man” had its share of jokes, but “The A-Team” took it way beyond.  Just the scene of the A-Team using the tank to fight while falling down from the airplane is worth the money for the ticket.  But there is so much more!

Highly recommended for a fun Friday evening.  5 out of 5.
