museum & films 26, 27

a shared brunch with gail on degraves street before wandering a little more of the city.




then it was onto the tutankhamun exhibition at the melbourne museum. it really just made me want to go back and visit egypt again. it's such a beautiful country and culture and history. i will return one day.



then back to the screen for me.

film 26: wasted youth


wasted time? perhaps. a greek film that had two parallel stories that didn't meet until the last 3 minutes of the film. one hot summer day, two lives that seemed to be going no where.

film 27: swerve


i couldn't work out if this was a genuine thriller or it was a spoof of itself. honestly it took the conventions expected in the thriller genre just a little too far and i found myself laughing time and again at the absurdity of the cliched lines and actions. come on, we can do so much better.
