Weekend Update

As it’s weekend, I thought I’d recommend some of the comedies I’ve seen last week. They’d make a great pass time if you want to relax a bit. And trust me, they are particularly good after stressful days, if you manage not to fall asleep

The first one, called The Hearbreak Kid, is about rushing into important things such as marriage just out fear and then realizing what a big mistake it’s all been. And then doing the same routine all over again.

The other two movies I’ve seen are on the same issue: sexual orientation and what it brings along. I finally managed to see I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, a movie about two firefighters pretending to be gay to fool a stupid and bureaucratic pension system. While extremely funny, the movie is a bit too far from reality.

The other one, Coffee Date, presents how twisted someone’s life can get when everyone sees him in a certain way, be it true or not. A quiet type of guy who’s been into a messy divorces, goes to a data his leach-no-own-residence brother arranged on the Internet. With another guy. They happen to have a lot in common so they come back to scare the brother off a bit. He does move out and let everyone know how gay his brother is. So a completely straight guy comes to question his sexuality just because he has a gay friend and because everyone says he’s gay.

If you want to see some photos instead of movies, take a look at some more snapshots of Alkmaar, at the Cheese Market that takes place there each Friday during the summer, or at the annual Alkmaar Kermis (fair). Yes, I will finish posting all photos before Christmas
