Taxi 4

The fourth in the series. I found this one not very good. It missed a good pursuit in a car, afterall the movie is called ‘Taxi’

Madagascar

Dreamworks - Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath — 2006-01-17T18:15:37+00:00

I looked with Alwin at this movie. It was quite amusing, although not great. It is about some animals from the Central Park Zoo that want to discover the wild. And thus they discover the island of Madagascar.

Le Monde de Narnia

Went to see this movie in Veynes. It was quite nice, although it naturally did not have the depth of a Lord of the Rings. The monsters made me think of that movie. Nevertheless I enjoyed myself pretty well. The movie had a continuous fast tempo, so I had no chance to fall asleep.

Michel Vaillant

A nice movie, it reminded me well of the cartoon albums that I have read. It has a nice tempo and plot.

Charlie et la Chocolaterie

Tim Burton after a book by Roald Dahl. — 2005-07-18T02:08:25+00:00

I went to see this movie in Veynes. We quite liked it. It is like a fairy tale and the casting was a bit caricatured. i am not sure about Willy Wonka. After reading the book I imagined someone older. The Oompa Loompas were nice but not as strange as I had in my head.

Les Rivières pourpres

Jean-Christophe Grangé — 2005-07-05T00:20:51+00:00

I liked this book a lot, especially because the revelations are on the last pages. A policeman starts helping a murder inquiry in the province and encounters very strange murders. In some other part of the country strange things happen and the inquiries intertwine in an intriguing way.

Fantasy

Sylvie Barc — 2005-04-03T00:35:52+00:00

Fantasy by Asmodée is a simple card based game. Each card represents a race (elf, dwarf, etc). The goal is to obtain the most cards. This can be done by the powers printed on each card, which allows a user to steal cards from opponents, switch decks with opponents, etc. This makes it a very difficult games, as things can change quickly in the end.

Le troisième fléau

Eric Laurent — 2005-01-25T02:01:57+00:00

And again I read a book in French. This was an interesting book although it was pretty rough. It is an adventure of Seth Colton where he takes on the world of grain, CIA, KGB, etc.

Le Monde de Rocannon

Ursula Le Guin — 2004-11-10T22:22:37+00:00

This ia already a pretty old Science Fiction Book. I think I read it already some 30 years ago. It was again a pleasant read, even in French. It is about a world just discovered. An anthropologist goes on a mission to explore, is hampered by The Enemy. And then he tries to overcome this enemy. Whilst doing this he discovers new parts of the planet and it's inhabitants.

La Ferme se Rebelle

Will Finn, John Sanford — 2004-09-26T00:16:17+00:00

This movie is about a farm that is just to be sold. The three cows of the farm try to save the farm by getting the reward money for capturing a cow thief. They get the help of a horse.

Nice movie, but not very special. The title in english is Home on the Range.

Un travelo nommé désir

Noël Simsolo — 2004-07-27T00:20:36+00:00

I found this small book at the local supermarket and as I want to read some French, I bought it. It is a private investigator, Le Poulpe, kind of story. It was not great, but turned out easy to read. It is kind of trashy, but fun.
