I have been so so busy this past week that I haven't had the chance to tell you what I've been watching or who's been playing and I'm off again to watch something else tonight, so I will be brief...
What have I been watching?
The Wolfpack
Interesting story, but perhaps lacked real direction. The "characters" were good, but with the subject matter in mind, found them to be parodies of movie characters rather than real people. Not their fault, of course, but almost made the film seem wanting.
3*
Vacation
Oh. My. So bad. Though the rest of the cinema seemed to be laughing every minute. I had one or two small chuckles, mostly in poor taste. Only watch if you're a National Lampoon's fan, I suggest.
1*
Mistress America
I didn't actually see this before it came out in the cinema, but I wanted to talk about it anyway. Noah Baumbach springs back from a decent effort of While We're Young. This was a lot more of what I excpected from him (and Greta Gerwig, co-writer of Mistress America, who was missing from the latter film). Relatable story, interesting cast, great dialogue. Win.
4*
Arsenal Vs. Liverpool 0-0
Well, what can I say?, it was abysmal and yet another reminder why we need a striker. We're lucky to have a point and I feel sorry for Cech for agreeing to be a Gunner - but then again, I feel sorry for me for putting my heart and soul into such an annoying team that I absolutely love to pieces. COYG!
