A Timely Update

It's about time I gave you an update ( well on the film front anyway) about what I've been up to. So here it goes:

Recently Viewed:

• Midnight Cowboy
• Pooh's Heffalump Movie

I know, lol, two very different films with (absurdly) very similar messages. Midnight Cowboy, starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman, was fairly sad, but wonderfully entertaining, led by the characters' apparent naivety but stunning depth of character. With Joe Buck (Voight) looking like he's at some fancy dress party for most of the movie, it's rather odd, but works brilliantly. At least, for me, the first 'Best Picture' I've seen in a while that actually deserves its title.

As for Heffalump, how class is Winnie the Pooh. Even when he's not the lead character he still steals the show! Pure brilliance. On the whole it was sweet, although not a great deal happened to be frank. The Hundred Acre Wood is a boring place full of colourful characters. Still -- admirable morals, don't judge a book by its cover, people are afraid of what they don't know. Ah, you can always rely on Disney to hammer home some fable-esque mentality.

Recently Reviewed:

• Coach Carter
• The Interpreter

You can see these on the site as per usual. Overall pretty average. Both had plenty of flaws, The Interpreter just had a lot more to swing it the other way. Anwyay, you'll see what I mean.

Imminent Viewings:

• The Color of Money

Looking forward to this, if only for Newman. I've seen painfully (and shamefully) little of his filmography, and eagerly anticipate this flick. Expect my thoughts on the matter either tomorrow or Saturday.
