Nobody (I) (2021)
9/10
Truly enjoyable
7 June 2021
If you like movies such as The Punisher, John Wick, The Equaliser you are going to enjoy it although Bob Odenkirk is not the typical hero usually played by guys with strong physical presence. As he said in one of the interviews he did want his character to look like a typical dad, understated and unassuming.

Interestingly, Bob Odenkirk has had an experience of two break ins and that has influenced his performance in Nobody. I guess we all sometimes fantasise about "superhero" things we would do to people who hurt us but Bob Odenkirk had an opportunity to act it out lol.

As for acting, even though it is a completely different movie genre to what we are normally used to seeing Odenkirk in, there is always that personality that comes through. Saying that, his performance was great (Odenkirk trained for two years with Daniel Bernhardt a stunt actor, prior to making a Nobody) and Bob's personality adds interesting/ a bit different vibe to the character.

Overall, great fun and a I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in a quite long time.

Best documentary I have seen in a while
23 December 2018
This is a multilayered documentary; it's a story of a brilliant artist but also of complexity of human nature and how it transforms if exposed to different events. Szukalski is no doubt a great artist but he is a human foremost with all the vices and virtues, a very interesting human with amazing imagination and very unusual outlook on life and all its aspects. I like the way the focus shifted from lighthearted narrating in the beginning to more serious aspects of life and its meanders in later stages of the movie followed by a very moving end. It is definitely worth watching.

The Cosmopolitans: The Cosmopolitans (2014)
Season 1, Episode 1
2/10
Heavily airbrushed
30 August 2014
According to the pilot of the series, Paris is mainly populated by white middle class people between 20 and 30 years old, who's main concern is finding a good party. Dialogs are boring and meaningless,there is no action of any sort; all the conversations seemed to be focused on reinforcing the idea of Paris that is romantic and cheesy, repeating the popular clichés and stereotypes.

Very clean visually (there is not even one piece of rubbish on the street & even "roughed up" hair of some french guys look carefully arranged), some good camera work which is unfortunately wasted on this series. So, if you're looking for an airbrushed version of Paris and airbrushed reality than it is series for you, but if you're looking for some more substantial stuff to watch you can give this one safely a miss.
