Fubar (2002)
Cool little film with a big heart
Just spent a relaxing two weeks in P.E.I., Canada and the highlight was seeing this marvelous film at the City Cinema in Charlottetown. The serious turn could so easily have dragged down the film. That it does not is down to the skill of the maker of this film. If correctly handled this film will be at least as much of a cult film as Spinal Tap.
Last Holiday (1950)
Excellent early version of Gosford Park
This film struck me with it's similarities to Altman's Gosford Park. Both are in the same time frame, both deal with the changing social structure in Britain during the middle of the last century. While Guinness is very much the star, the ensemble support cast more than hold their own. Great to see Sid James in a relatively straight role. A neglected gem, it should be more available and not relegated as an overnight schedule filler, where I caught it last night on Britain's Channel 4.
