Here is my February reviews post to
50bookchallenge.
Cinema Trips
Scary Movie 3
School of Rock
The Barbarian Invasion (Les Invasions Barbares)
"Scary Movie III"
Just as silly as you might expect, if not sillier. Spoofs of "8 Mile", "Signs", "The Ring", "The Sixth Sense", "The Others", "Pop Idol", "The Matrix", "Final Destination" and probably others that I didn't recognise or have forgotten about.
"School of Rock"
Funny and very enjoyable.
"The Barbarian Invasions"
A French-Canadian comedy about coming to terms with death, both for the dying man and for the family, friends and lovers who gather to see him off. I did my best to concentrate on the dialogue rather than the subtitles, so I now know that pompier is French slang for a blow-job.
