La bella Italia

          In my humble opinion BBC makes the best documentaries of all TV stations. Recently I stumbled upon a documentary in three parts presenting the pleasures of Italy. As Italia is my beloved country because of its rich culture, delicious, varied food, astounding fashion taste and breathtaking landscapes, I thought I had to watch the movie to please my eyes. It wasn’t disappointing. In each part viewers  could get an idea of one of the three northern Italian regions: Emilia-Romania, Lombardy and Piedmont. There were two hosts of the film: one was a British art historian and the second one was an Italian chef. They traversed those regions in a luxurious car, visited the most delightful monuments, frescos, churches, vineyards teaching us some history of that region of the world. The atmosphere was witty and there was no shortage of amusing situations. The exquisite local cuisine also got its share of the documentary film. At times I could hardly refrain myself from drooling. Moreover, watching gentle Italian sun beams falling on pastel buildings and peaceful, idyllic hills will help you to overcome low spirits caused by autumnal weather.        

 

Thriller

            Once upon a time, there was a coupe driving through the wood. Unfortunately, they ran out of gasoline so they got out of the car and started walking. Suddenly, the boy stopped and asked the girl if she wanted to be his girlfriend. She eagerly accepted. Then, the boy transformed into a werewolf. The girl was terrified and run away through the dim forest. Finally, it turned out to be just a movie which was watched by another (?) couple. They walked out of the cinema because the plot was too drastic for the girl. While they were walking back home, Michael- the boy, started singing about monsters creeping behind their back to scare the girl. All of a sudden, zombies started getting out of tombs. Michael transformed into a zombie too and performed his famous dance with a group of equally well dancing dead bodies. The girl ran away petrified and entered an old, haunted house. The zombies were chasing her. She cowered on the sofa and saw Michael and zombies moving closer. When they were just in front of her face she was waken up by Michael. Fortunately, it turned out to be just a bad dream.
