Transporter 3 in Budapest

Transporter 3 BudapestMaybe you think that I am joking, but Transporter 3 can now be seen in Budapest cinemas, but there is something more to it. You can see the transporter Frank Martin, played by Jason Statham, in Budapest in the film Transporter 3. It is not to much, only five minutes, but still it is something. It is happening in the middle of the film, and the sharp eye will soon recognice the Parliament and the Saint Stephens Basilica. The rest of the scenes supposed to be from Budapest is probably only from a studio in Hollywood, at least I did not recognice them.

In Transporter 3 Frank Martin has to deliever a package, again. This time it is a person, and Frank does not really understand much why, how and where. As always there are loads of action, and some wild fighting scenes where Frank beats 9-10 badguys alone, but that is how we like the Transporter to act.

I am a fan of the Transporter films, but this film was a little bit boring, as it was to much focus on Frank and the girl he is transporting. To long conversations, to little action and I found those scenes to occur to often, and everytime they occured they were to long.

I still enjoyed it, but I could have enjoyed it much more!

Based on this I give Transporter 3 five smileys.

Hungarian title: Szállító 3

No news from Budapest

I am not sure, but I feel like as if few things are happening in Budapest these days. As I keep checking out the different feeds I subscribe to, nothing seems to happen, and the number of updates are few. In my own search for news I do not find to much either. Of course, it is always possible to write about politics, something is always happening there. You can always hear about the ideas of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány and his ideas for helping out on the nation, and then the comments from the opposition (Fidesz) that the idea is a terrible one, and that he and his coworkers should all resign from their positions. This repeats itself every day of the year, so it is not to interesting anymore.

The weak forint is another subject that people speak about, and that the newspapers write about. So did we yesterday, so no need to write about it again. But, I read today that the weak forint is good for Hungarian peasants, as the shops find it to expensive to import from abroad, so now they rather buy Hungarian products and Hungarian meat.

If some interesting news come, we will for sure write, but as of now… things are quiet in Budapest!
