Taipei Shanghai Zurich – Frankfurt to Seattle

The flight from Frankfurt to Seattle was bumpy. The food was good.  Movies:

  • The Internship (2013): two old sales guys do a Google summer internship, Hollywood style.  Weak, formulaic script, bad cast, predictable, bad story, yuck (**).  Hollywood needs more scripts like “The Social Network.”
  • The Way Way Back (2013): awkward, self-conscious kid spends a summer coming of age; worth watching (***)
  • Frances Ha (2012): B&W, somewhat older woman follows her passion to become a professional dancer and choreographer.  Interesting, sensitive, well-directed New York story about young people, class struggle, relationships (***).
  • I also saw a bunch of TV documentaries and shows (German, US).

Home at last!
