cinema movie review: some russian movie called 'yolki'

this link actually shows the cinema we saw it at tonite:

http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/title/tt2124096

imdb reveals this is actually part ii of the yolki (russian for 'xmas tree') sequel series apparently the first one had the former russian president in it......... this movie is kind of long and the seats at the cinema weren't very comfortable and if you don't understand russian you're always looking at the bottom of the screen for the subtitles.... therefore whether you'd prefer to have a lifesize dummie model of Putin*, soft to the touch that you can dry hump from behind for 5 minutes straight or just watch yolki (not to be confused with egg yolk) will just depend on your mood on any given day...... either option could be a winner

assuming you choose to watch yolki over hammering away on your life-sized Putin doll from behind (dry-humping in a non-sexual way) while you tell your friends you're out 'taking photos', you're in for some good things however be prepared for a lot of sentimentality......... it's good seeing a russian movie just to feel like you're in russia for 2 hours....... and see what a big, powerful nation can look like......... however, this is really full of sentimentality this movie, don't expect a kind of hollywood shoot 'em up experience......... there are some big special effects like a jet plane landing and car accidents, etc, and alot of hollywood filmmaking production values are used, (there are too many close ups in the first half of the movie and not enough mcu's and master shots although this problem is no longer existent around 2nd half of movie)......... there's also a surprising amount of shmalziness, however, the russians seem like the type of people that can be taken seriously when making sentimental, shmaltzy movies........ it's also incredibly difficult to wrap you're head around the uniting dynamics of the 7 or so principal dynamic subplots of the movie, each one focusing on human relations and 'love' (although not the kind of 'love' mentioned above involving one man, one inanimate dummy, one unaroused groin and much thrusting)........ however you still get the idea of it and there's all kinds of 'touching stuff' there......... the hollywood production values employed seem like the movie might be found unpalatable to alot of russians, but it does seem to make russia look kind of glorious even with old soviet era telephones that don't work properly and things like that

*if you do decide you'd like to practice dry-humping a life-size dummy, remember, it doesn't have to be Putin EVERY night, you can make it Elvis, or most anyone your imagination conjures up! have fun experimenting!
