Recent films I have seen

by topofthestairs @ 31 Oct. 2006 - 12:01:29

Love Amy Winehouse's REHAB - just about to download it from the Apple Store. Had her first CD FRANK but just didn't like it.

Don't rent PRIME with Uma Thurman - it is so boring and you just know what is going to happen from scene to scene. Meryl Streep OKish but not as hysterically funny. I also hated THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA! - dreadfully shallow and pointless. Loved THE QUEEN which I did an Orange Wednesday on last week. Mirren is phenominal as is the rest of the cast except for the awful actor who plays Charles. He actaully played it as a caricature whilst the other actors really got into character as it were.

Best DVD in a while was Spike Lee's, who's work I don't usually like, INSIDE MAN. Very clever and I didn't work it out till the last frame. You have to get over all the heavy politcal references which is pure Lee, but it's worth it. Jodie Foster was excellent in a rare 'bitch' part.

Saw FEAR OF FANNY on BBC3 with Julia Davis who was very good even if she didn't go for the deep voice of the real Craddock. Have yet to watch the recent Cracker and Prime Suspect which I have taped.

Ooo I missed Cracker! Saw Prime Suspect, well, most of it, and it is good. Not quite as good as the first two episodes though.
Haven't watched a dvd for ages. Will watch out for 'Queen'. Still haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2 yet, waiting for it on dvd as missed it on the cinema.
Only heard Amy Winehouse recently, she's got a great voice. Just saw Lianne Carrol a jazz pianist singer. She is amazing! Fantastic voice and really good pianist. If you are into jazz, it's not abstract jazz, but accessible jazz. She does a great version of 'River' by Joni Mitchell.
