Kräftskiva i Amsterdam

19:07 mareku 0 Comments

Den kräftskiva frÃ¥n Svensk-Nederländska Föreningen är en traditionell svensk fest i samband med kräftfiskesäsongen.  Huvudrätten utgörs av hela kräftor. Vanliga kompletterande matvaror vid kräftskivan är... knäckebröd!, kryddad Svenks ost och räkor, samt traditionella smörgÃ¥sbordsrätter som till exempel västerbottenpaj.  Vanliga drycker är brännvin, öl och (för mig) sockerdricka.




Den Amsterdamse Roeivereniging var trevilgt decorerad med lanternor och lite flaggor. Vi sjunger:

Kräftorna sköna
dillkronor gröna
lysa sÃ¥ grant bland blommor och bla´r.
Nubbarna ila
finna ej vila
förrän i magen störtvågen far.
Gläd dig min mage
håll dig beredd,
Helan vi tage
på längd och på bredd.
Och lilla snapsen
dyker sÃ¥ rapp se´n
ner i sin sköna bädd.

Piranha 3D

Sometimes a movie can be so bad - that it becomes funny. Which is the case with Piranha 3D. While audiences back in the 70's were really scared of the effects in the disaster movies like Jaws and Towering Inferno - these tricks now only makes us laugh. Especially when they are magnified in 3D.

Was James Dean Gay or what?

The new movie from JOSHUA TREE, 1951: A PORTRAIT OF JAMES DEAN tries to answer that question. (with James Preston of "Gates")

The best film: Dinner for schmucks or Le Dîner de cons

10:59 mareku 0 Comments

I really liked Francis Vebers' Le Dîner de cons when it came out in 1998. So I was a little sceptical whether the remake "dinner for schmucks" could live up to the original. Well: it can't... The French version is much darker and sarcastic. But it schmucks has its fine moments: Steve Carrel timing is great and  I always admire Zach Galifianakis - who should get an oscar nomination for his role of Therman - the mind controller.
