A Friday, by the end of June, in Paris...

From one trip to another between holiday destinations, I return to Paris to un-do and re-do my luggage... It's so exciting to walk around the semi-empty city, surrounded only by tourists. The heat is intense, there's no traffic jams and I feel like a visitor myself in one of my favorite cities.

And what could be best now than lock myself at a movie theatre on Champs-Elysées to see one of the most awaited movies of the year?

So there I go. While there's a storm outside, I let myself go by the imagination and darkness of "The Dark Knight Rises," the last Batman installment in the trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, a true genius. As I don't like Spiderman, I adore Batman! And I love Christian Bale, the actor marvelously playing the role of Bruce Wayne.

The movie is long: 2 hours and 40 minutes. My max. But I did not notice the time passing by. There's so much to see, so many fights between Good and Evil, so many first-class actors, so much action!

Beautiful Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, divine Joseph Gordon Levitt, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy (as Bane, the very bad villain of the movie)...

What a pity that this movie will eternally be associated with the massacre in Aurora...

To end such a day of unforgettable images, nothing better than watching on TV (HD, of course) the Opening Ceremony of London's 2012 Olympic Games! An amazing show by the great movie director Danny Boyle, who I've discovered years ago with "Trainspotting," one of my cult movies.

I loved that retelling of England's History, so like a musical from London's West End. I liked Daniel Craig, impeccable as James Bond, escorting the Queen (the real Elizabeth II!!), the many Mary Poppins, the homage to Pop Music and the happiness of the athletes...

After so many images, will I be able to sleep tonight?
