It’s that time of the year again. The boulangeries, chocolate shops, and other little shops and cafes have shut up shop for a month. All the Parisians have left for the country or beach and all you have left is a deserted city. The streets are empty, the shops are empty, the parks are empty, the cinemas are empty.

I love Paris in the summer.

It seems to me that the further north you go, the stranger the people get. Well, if you believed everything you see in their films, that is.

White Night Wedding is an Icelandic film, set in the middle of summer when it’s light all day and all night long. That’s kinda weird in itself. This is part comedy, part drama. Would have been better as one or the other.

Who am I kidding, I knew it was going to be crap but I just couldn’t resist. For serious SATC fans only.

Movie #: 23

I thought this was the story of my life but I was wrong. This, unfortunately, is the true story of my life:

I saw this cute little English movie today. Tamara Drewe goes back to the little village where she grew up with intentions of selling her late mother’s house. Once there she manages to get in trouble with the locals and all the men who seem to be after her. Quite a quirky movie with some of the characters kind of half done but it was fun anyway.
