Hannibal (2001)


































  Hannibal Lecter now lives in self-exile in Italy. FBI agent Clarice Starling now has to face all the weight of the disgrace from Lecter's open case. A previous victim with enough power and connections will claim revenge on Lecter and once again the trail of blood continues...
  Ridley Scott decides to go big with the followup on Silence of the Lambs. Though not as good the its predecessor, Hannibal does maintain the same air of a quality thriller. We are left to discover more extensively the intriguing character of Hannibal and probably delve deeper into his "twisted" sense of reality. Extra points for the Rome scenes, class and history together with raw violence and blood ! Magnifico!
  Anthony Hopkins is truly a unique actor. Every role he has played, he made it into something really authentic ; always a wise, intelligent, classy man with respect to women. And it's interesting here too that all these attributes are accustomed to a cannibal! Julianne Moore for some reason breaks my nerves so I can't be a good judge of her. Ray Liotta is purely entertaining especially in the end while  Gary Oldman has a special appearance too! Don't miss it!
Must watch this : strictly with Tartar steak and a good double brewed strong ale. For iron stomachs only!

Brüno (2009)


































  Brüno is a gay Austrian tele-persona. After a dramatic change in his luck, his career in Europe is ruined and he decides to travel to America and challenge his potentials there. Almost alone, Brüno will face the "hard" side of America but will find his way in the end...
  After Borat's great success (hate it or love it, Borat really changed something in what we call comedy today), Larry Charles and Cohen went on and tried out a second social experiment. The target is again the puritan America and this time the bait for ridicule is homosexuality and social acceptance. But of course, you don't expect anything medium when Cohen gets in the way ; only a good drop of the extreme stuff!
  Cohen's talent to fully adapt and delve deeper into his roles is amazing. This is what an actor should anyway but such devotion is rare in our days, no matter how goofy or serious the character is. Cohen manages to project that awkward gay vie that makes all homophobes shake with anger. Ain't that something! Kudos to Gustaf Hammarsten and Clifford Bañagale for some of the most politically incorrect and awkward humorous scenes I've ever seen. Cycling anyone?!
Must watch this : with an open mind. If you feel that you will be offended by homosexuality, you may as well get past this. This could offend both homosexuals and homophobes at the same time! In any other case, make yourself a Cosmopolitan and enjoy this with long, slim cigarettes! Classy!
