It was our birthdays Kowalski and I. And maybe a few others. So let’s sing a long:

Monkey see, monkey do, birthday party for me and you! 🎶

Now, this week on the menu:

Buffalo ´66 (1998 TV)I think you have to appreciate a precise type of mood and humour to enjoy this movie. Hard to explain which type though. It’s slightly absurd, very unique, offbeat and filled with great dialogue like:
Girl: « can I get in the bath with you,? Im cold. »
Guy: « No »
Girl: “But why!?”
Guy: « Because I don’t take bath with people. »
Or
Guy: « I didn’t say I would give you a kiss I said I’d get you hot chocolate”
Girl« Can I get a hug then?»
Guy: « Oh man… »
Not much to complain about except that something bugged me a little bit with the « twist » in the end. Another thing that slightly disappointed was the fact that we kind of expect the guy to snap at any moment but he never truly does and I really expected the ending to be dark but it was the total opposite. ( I thought he would find the girl dead in the hotel room. (Suicide)). Oh and the R rating for nudity and violence is PURE horsecrap. Anyways, this here movie is going to stick with me I know it. My rating: 7.5/10

Word trade centre (2006 Netflix): Recently, a lot of people watched this movie to celebrate the 20th anniversary and I did too. Not sure why I watched it on the evening of my birthday though. It was pretty intense and it made me tear up. My rating: 6.5/10

Godzilla: king of the monsters (2019 Netflix): Sometimes there’s nothing better to take your mind off things than a movie like this. The story was fine by me and the monster spectacle was grand. My favourite part was the Firebird VS the three headed dragon. I love dragons. I got two of them tattooed on my arm, one green one blue. This movie has its fair share of unrealistic moments (even considering the fact that it’s Godzilla) but I think it’s one of the coolest monster movie I’ve ever seen. Now a friend of mine made me realize that this movie is a sequel to another Godzilla movie that came out in 2014 and I was unaware of. I’ll have to watch it, probably next week. My rating: 7/10

Sunset Blvd 1950 A screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.
Director: Billy Wilder
Writers: Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, D.M. Marshman Jr.
Stars: William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim See more »
Awards: Won 3 Oscars

At first all I could think of was What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, but then I realized this movie was 12 years before that one. It was a very interesting look into a sort of Gigolo lifestyle. He was willing to do almost anything to get the final payday. I still think Gloria Swanson's acting was too over the top, as was Davis's in Baby Jane.

TV Series

-Around the World in 80 Days (1989) - Episode 3
The Jesse James cameo was just terrible and I hate how they wrapped up the romance between Phileas and Aouda. I remember liking this series back in the 90s, but this time I was rather disappointed, especially because of the silly cameos and deviations from the book.

-The Bold and the Beautiful - marathon of very old episodes
