Summary: In morte veritas. Georgia Byrd clerks at a New Orleans department store.

All that changes when a CT Scan discloses she has three weeks to live. She cashes her savings and heads to Grandhotel Pupp in the Czech Republic, where Chef Didier presides. She checks into the Presidential Suite, orders everything on the menu, snowboards, and comes to the attention of the chef and the hotel's powerful American guests: a Congressman, a Senator, a retail magnate, and his mistress. She has nothing to lose, so she tells them what she thinks. Will the truth set them free?

Aanrader: Green Book – Film op Netflix

Dit vond ik een heel fijne film. Italiaanse uitsmijter gaat een gedistingeerde afrikaan rondrijden door het diepe zuiden van Amerika. Een mooi verhaal over racisme en vriendschap.

Summary: In 1962, Tony "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, a tough bouncer, is looking for work when his nightclub is closed for renovations. The most promising offer turns out to be the driver for the African-American classical pianist Don Shirley for a concert tour into the Deep South states. Although hardly enthused at working for a black man, Tony accepts the job and they begin their trek armed with The Negro Motorist Green Book, a travel guide for safe travel through America's racial segregation. Together, the snobbishly erudite pianist and the crudely practical bouncer can barely get along with their clashing attitudes to life and ideals. However, as the disparate pair witness and endure America's appalling injustices on the road, they find a newfound respect for each other's talents and start to face them together. In doing so, they would nurture a friendship and understanding that would change both their lives.

Afrader: Cosmic Sin (film)

Een Science Fiction film met Bruce Willis, dat kan wel een goede zijn. Nou, niet dus. Al in de eerste minuten tenenkrommend slecht. Brandstof auto’s en pistolen in de verre toekomst? En dan het slechte acteerwerk. Goed, pauze en IMDB checken. Ja hoor: Een 2,5 (van de 10). Stop gezet en ik ga hem meteen wissen.
