Film view - micmacs


I think I will call these views rather than reviews.
Another enjoyable wacky adventure from Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Visualy wonderful with a plot plucked from the same pot as lucky number sleven? Perhap but where was that plucked from? anyho.
Fun viewing with alot of familiar faces. A few riskey scenes rather to be expected from him, abit of an auteur of this quirky style?
The measurement girl played by Marie-Julie Baup has been tipped by a close critic to be the next big thing.

Film review - pleasantville


A weird one. A line from a total film review sums it up well 'the truman show meets back to the future'.
Realy different and gary ross does well,the colours at times are like something out sin city and it often has a sinister side to it which i feel was a great contrast to the rest of the film. A few stand out scenes making the 12 rating seem understandable. Overall its a great 'color' based adventure rom-com with a large helping of weird.

Film review - stardust


Alot of people will scoff and i was one! Its a pg but i am thinking more 12a but thats me. Any way onto the film boy loves girl, girl dosent,boy sets out to prove his love, throw in some magic,fornication,witches,royalty and lotr style action shots. Oh and how could i forget de niro as a gay pirate. This easily makes the film in my eyes, de niro is splendid,did not expect it and its such a brave move for him. I think it just proves his worth. Class act.
Anyway its a gewd adaption of Neil Gaiman's adventure book.

The Black Atlantic

Been listening to these guys for a while now. They are a great wee acoustic pop band from the netherlands. If your interested in finding out a bit more check out here.
An even better feature is a free download of their album. Get it here if your with the torrent world or here if your not such a sneaky pirate.
Regards and Enjoy.
