Kabaret Olgi Lipinskiej: Premiera (1978) ***

Po trzech falstartach, cykl Kabaretow Olgi Lipinskiej: Kurtyna w gore, nabral wreszcie wprawy i zlapal swoj wlasciwy rytm. To w nim ukazal sie slynny dowcip o pierogach, ktorych nikt nie zamawial, a same przyszly (zamienionych z "ruskich" na "leniwe" dla zmylenia cenzury). Niestety, cenzura nie dala sie zmylic i Kabaret Olgii Lipinskiej za kare zdjeto z anteny na ponad szesc miesięcy. Piosenki:

Superman (1978) **

Badly dated, but still mildly entertaining movie starring Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel.

Caravans (1978) **

Dated and old-fashioned. But the scenery is beautiful.

Same Time Next Year (1978) **

Heaven Can Wait (1978) **

Midnight Express (1978) **

Coming Home (1978) **

January 1, 1978

Despair (1978) *

A man kills his doppelganger.

The Swarm (1978) *

How bad is it ?
As bad as it can get.

That dialogue sample from this ridiculous disaster pic refers to an attack by the killer bees, but it might as well refer to the film itself.

Comes A Horseman (1978) *

Boring western with plenty of leftist cliches (rich cattle barons trying to evict honest hardworking folks from their homes), no nuances, no subtilities and no sense of pacing.

California Suite (1978) *
