Flashbacks Of A Fool

April 18th, 2008
Flashbacks of a FoolA really good, touching British Movie, set mostly in the 70's this is about Joe Scott a failing Hollywood actor played by Daniel Craig who "sees the light" (so cliche), but in spite of that this is a really unique film that gets you thinking.

The director (Baillie Walsh) obviously knew his market perfectly as the first 15 minutes are basically just Daniel Craig walking around naked. Fortunately this doesn't last throughout the whole film.

Special note deserves to go to Felicity Jones who plays Ruth Davies, a young sweetheart who Joe Scott (Harry Eden (Young Daniel Craig)) falls for. Her acting is great and she, along with the awesome soundtrack really expresses what the 70's must have felt for teens, glam make-up and a very funny Bowie scene.

Flashbacks of a Fool is one of those films that really makes you appreciate being young, and if your of an older generation than myself would probably bring back some good memories.

Got to be a 7/10 from me.

Son of Rambow

April 10th, 2008





So went to see Son of Rambow tonight, it's a British film and lives up to all classic British film requirements; its a nice story about 2 friends growing up in the 80's who decide to make a comical action film.

There were a few moments in the film which I loved my favourite being a scene in a school sixth form common room where a load of kids are sitting around sniffing stuff that smells like cake... what's that all about??

What did surprise me about the film was that one of the boys comes from a Plymouth Brethren religious family. whcih you don't see very often... Needless to say the film doesn't make you want to convert.

The only real beef i've got with it is it was hyped up too much, i didn't find it as funny as i'd hoped and it was a bit soppy.. but that's just me being fussy.

All in all, I would recommend it and it gets a solid 7/10 form me.
