Best movie of this year hands down!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
Beautiful Budapest (1938) ** 1/2 (out of 4)This TravelTalks entry takes us to Budapest, the capital of Hungary and the biggest commercial and tourist visited place in the country. We get to learn about their long history, the fact that the population had tripled in the matter of years and the fact that there are plenty of geothermal springs that are visited by thousands each year. Once again, if you know what to expect from this series then you're going to find this entry to be pretty good as we get plenty of nice, trivial knowledge and of course the beautiful Technicolor is here to enjoy. The color really comes off well when we're looking at the Danube River as well as plenty of the outdoor pools from the springs. The short also spends the last minute looking over the women of Budapest, which wasn't a normal thing for this series.
