![]() ![]() The agreement was soon made, and the band Atomsko Sklonište was officially formed on February 26, 1977. For several years Obradović had an idea of a rock band performing songs featuring his lyrics, and in 1977, in front of the kafana Jadran in Pula, which was a gathering place for local musicians, he offered his lyrics to a group of musicians. The play featured a choice of the world anti-war poetry, including two of Obradović's poems: Kuga u Danangu (against Vietnam War) and Vaclavske Namjesti (against Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia). The film does have its downside as I felt it was moving a little slow in the beginning but the fun that I had from watching it made that a minor flaw.The band's history begins in 1968, when a play titled Atomsko sklonište and directed by Boško Obradović premiered in People's Theatre in Pula. What I also liked about 'Blast From the Past' is that its comedy does not rely on crude humour (unlike most American comedies today). Of course they play Fraser's parents who have been living underground for the last 35 years.

Silverstone and Fraser make an odd but fun romantic couple. Wilson maintains to sustain the movie's lightness as the screenplay is consistent. The plot does follow the romcom cliché where dude tries to woo dudette but here the dude was raised all his 35 years in an underground shelter, away from the outer world and that just makes the story funnier. It's very enjoyable as long as one does not expect anything serious. ![]() 'Blast From the Past' is a funny little romcom. ![]()
