SUMMER RAIN - El Camino De Los Ingleses

Hola Amigos!

We all know how multi cultural I am, infact I'm too multi cultural that I get accused of having cultural issues. LOL

Last night I met up with Cherry & Gus to catch a Spanish flick at the Palace Cinema's on Oxford St. We all agreed to watch "Summer Rain" directed by Antonio Banderas. We don't know why on earth we chose this movie from the entire list. It just seemed appealing at the time. I knew the movie was similar to a romantic comedy centered around a bunch of guys living in Malaga, southern Spain in the 1970's. We were all hoping for high level sex scenes with the Rated 18 rating haha

So I met up with the crew in the middle of World Square to catch a bus to Palace Cinema's when Cherry took charge and started the walking marathon. Gus and I had no idea where the Palace Cinema was but Cherry indicated that she had been there before.

We start walking towards Oxford St, thinking this is a short walk. For fucks sake, 15 minutes later we are still walking down Oxford St towards the cinemas. We have past DCM's and where the shootings happened at Gloria Jeans last week and I swear we walked past three Toolsheds. I can't believe Oxford St needs 3 toolsheds for crying out loud.

By the time we arrived at the cineama's it felt like I had just competed in the City to Surf. We stroll into the cinema's with 20 minutes to kill. Gus throws his backpack and jacket at us and claims his going to buy a kebab. With Gus out of the picture Cherry and I manage to find a seat.

The doors open prior to 6:30pm so Cherry and I decide to race in to grab a seat. We manage to find a spot we like as Cherry has forgotten her glasses at home. Meanwhile Gus walks back into the cinema's with his kebab. Well he pulls it out to reveal his decided against the kebab and brought back half a pizza for all of us.

So picture this 3 nut cases sitting in a film festival with a pizza slice in their hand munching away while the previews start. Some people have issues. In fact I was thinking it would be mad if the cinema's actually sold Hot Chips. How nice would that be?

Before the movie started Cherry decided to go to the toilet again and leave us to battle for her seat. Following the incident at Palace in Leichhardt, I really didn't want to go through that again. The difference this time was there was plenty of seats available. This means there should be no problems. Wrong!

Two random blonde chicks decide for some reason to pick the seats next to Gus and I. This is when Gus hits panic mode and fights for Cherry's seat informing them that's for Cherry and they can't have it. We get a disgusted look from one of the chicks. Mind you the girls were pretty good looking and I had no fucking idea why Gus was rejecting them. For crying out loud woman how often do we get two good looking girls wanting to sit next to us?

Now when I questioned Gus on his actions, he sadly revealed he was scared of Cherry and her actions if he gave up her seat! LOL

Once the fuss was over, Cherry returned to her seat and the movie started. The stories followed the lives of the 4 guys during that Summer with plenty of sex, growing up and finding one self.

At times it was hard to follow the storylines as there was way too much happening. At one stage I wasn't sure whether I should throw up or not. 10 minutes into the movie there was a raunchy sex scene. Only we were all disgusted. Two of the guys were banging this fat chick in the bush. Now this chick was like size 26 or something. Even though she added comic relief to the movie, her going down on her knees to suck cock left, right and center was disgusting.

Things started to pick up with a massive 5 minute sex scene involving 4 people. The four main characters entered a lounge room after swimming in the back yard. Two of them started having sex while the other two watched. The girl couldn't help herself but start touching herself below encouraging her boyfriend to go down there with her while watching the other two fuck.

It was probably one of the best scenes in the movie as the next scene involved a 50 year old woman fucking a guy half her age. She had wrinkles popping out of her face. I still can't believe the guy went down that road. I could have understood if she was a yummy mummy but trust me she was far from it.

The movie seemed to drag on a bit and the character development was abit all over the shop. None of us couldn't understand why one of the girls killed herself. Overall I would rate this movie a 5 out of 10. It get's a 5 because of the 5 minute sex scene in the lounge room. It was well shot leaving alot up to the imagination. Abit more nudity could have been great.
