The Wiggles: Go Bananas! (2009)
Why we never heard about Wiggles before?
We never heard about Wiggles before visiting Australia in December 2011. We knew some characters from the show (Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Pirate Feathersword, etc) but somehow the 4 key members of the show were never shown in the TV in our country (Russia). Our 2 years old daughter loved the 4 Wiggles characters (Jeff, Murray, Anthony and Sam) and the show (thanks to the Wiggles exhibition in the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney), so we bought this DVD. Now it became one of her favorites - rhythmic energizing songs, bright colors, lovely Australians animals (kangaroos, koalas, wombats, etc). I wish we can buy other Wiggles production but I'm afraid it is hard to find it in Russia...
Spread (2009)
Not a romantic comedy at all
I really enjoyed the movie despite the fact that it was advertised as "romantic comedy" with the title translated to Russian as "Babnik" (Womanizer). Yes, there are so much sex and "glamour" in the beginning; nevertheless, the real story begins afterwards – the one that is worth to see, and that is NOT a romantic comedy. The story of the closed doors. The story of selling the expensive staff for nothing. The story of the beginning and the end of love. "You are a dreamer, and it is scaring me", says the girl to Nicky, and this is so true. Nicky is the man without a plan, without friends, he survives because of the attractive appearance, that will not remain over time. That's why "Spread" is the real drama of dreamer's collision with the reality that he tried to ignore so far.
The ending is not about happiness or tragedy – it's about bitterness, shame and folded 5-dollar note in the hand
And Nicky will return to the house where he used to enjoy the life, but in the different role now, proving that the history is always repeating itself.
