The Gods Must be Crazy (I and II)
Many moons ago, I heard about a comedy in which a Coke bottle plays an essential role. A Coke bottle is dropped out of an airplane and falls from the sky into the hands of a primitive tribe that had never had contact with civilization. So tribesmen think that “Gods must be crazy” for dropping such an object.
The Internship
Google is one of the most desirable employers in the world. Getting a job there is not easy. When two middle aged watch salesmen lose their jobs and their prospects for a stable income, one of them comes up with the idea of applying for an internship at Google, which offers the chance of landing a permanent job with this new tech icon company.
Jack Reacher, A Perfect Plan (Un Plan Parfait), This is 40
Remember the days when everyone in the airplane has to see the same movie. All new planes have personalized entertainment unit, which makes it difficult for movie fans to sleep during a flight.

Django Unchained
The first and last Tarantino film that I saw was Pulp Fiction. There was a deeply sadistic streak in his movie making that revolted me. I found his glorification of murder deeply troubling.
Soul Kitchen
This is the third Faith Aitken film that I laid eyes on. It is more playful than the first two. The story is weakly held together by the trials and tribulations of a German Greek restaurant owner, Zinos, who is trying to make a living with his restaurant located in on old Hamburg warehouse.
