Went to see The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec


April 2010. Went to see Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (Luc Besson, 2010). I had liked the comic books (without screaming with joy as some of my friends did, they're not THAT amazing). I enjoy the work of the actress Louise Bourgoin (though perhaps her face on the cover of EVERY French magazine in April was a bit much, quite frankly). The movie was suitably exciting, and filmed in a totally American way by Luc Besson, probably the only person who has understood the importance of timing on this side of the pond (no wonder he works on the other side).
