Saw It Might Get Loud. Mayeb not quite entertaining enough to non player, and i could do without Jack White's pretentions. Also, the version of The weight at the end was God-awful. As a non muso i thought "he just realised he's in teh wrong key. phew. the final version will be better now and they wont have to sing so...badly". Wow. How wrong was I?!
The Greatest. Dodgy accents, especially Brosanan's - all over the place. Otherwise, half decent TV movie of the week.
Always catch Later... but seldom like anything much. Liked Oh Mississippi by Lissie though. However, there was nothing else i liked on her myspace.
Saw Iron Man 2. Bit much going on, and the promised investigation of his drink problem was actually an excuse for a couple of set pieces. Silly, that. But it had good aspects, such as Stark and his relationship with Pepper, Mickey Rourke chewing the scenery up (he should have been given more time), Johanson.
Please calm down with the flashing images though, Hollywood types. Not only is it really irritating, but it does the opposite of what you think it does; it makes me think theres less going on, and usually im right. you know, in terms of substance and not CGI...
Found Kickass pretty amusing.
Discovered and liked Ariel by Diane Birch, and, a while ago now, Soulshine by Beth Hart.
Didnt quite know what to make of Up In The Air. It had things to say, but it didnt say them deeply or strongly enough. Maybe that was the point - you're supposed to ponder it after the fact. Still, i didnt hate it, and have some thoughts on it and memory of it, unlike most films. Maybe its my short attenti
Not sure i like that The Hurt Locker beat Avatar out at the Oscars. Avatar is undoubtedly insulting pap, but i think THL might be thrill-ride exploitation, which is worse. Not sure though...
Oh, and Paranormal Activity. During which i could easily have got 40 winks.
quite liked harry brown. but wish mr caine would shut up about batman movie. he simply sounds a bit, er, senior with all the missinformation. luckily he hs been told to shut up tho, i believe. saw the original alfie. hated the first half, at least. didnt like the rest much better. his delivery just grated so much.
Kept falling aslepp during last half hour of The Box. Thought they may tie it up with some explanation that harked back to the Arthur C Clarke quote shown earlier. AFAIK/U, it did not.
Men Who Stare at Goats. Funny premise, the odd laugh.
See, Kermode, Norman and Bradshaw have nothing on me.
