Considering that it’s a long time since I haven’t been watching nothing more than English TV series online or cartoons, I admitted my ignorance about the existence of this new film but I accepted willingly to go, trusting my little Sheldon Cooper and anticipating an afternoon at the movies with him, saying to myself, maybe it’s just another science fiction film that su**s, but if he is happy …

What we have in common, however, is the critical sense too: Sci-fi omnivores we are, that’s ok, but films like The Inseminator, apart from the bad choice about the plot, are just unwatchable, let’s face it. Back to us, on this Sunday afternoon, I take it and I leave with Daniele and we go to the movies, with some fruit juice, water and a chocolate bar, which is always the best treat, in my bag – in a relaxed mood, and empty of any particular expectations by my side … Continua a leggere “Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair: finding God in a Sci-Fi Movie.
