Mamma Mia! (2008)
Marvellous, fun and a 'must see'
I took an Abba fan to see this movie and found that I am probably a latent Abba fan too! I never thought much about the group except for 'Dancing Queen' which has certain pleasant personal memories for me, but I realised last night that the music is probably present in all of us and just waiting for this movie to come along and remind us of all sorts of forgotten good times.
We have all been to some part of this movie and be aware that all of this movie is definite 'feel good', 'good times', 'holiday', 'holiday romance' and everything that sadly some of us forget.
Who cares if certain people can't sing! I can't sing but I was singing last night. I was singing all night, even words I didn't know I knew!!
Photography, colour, scenery all get to the soul and leave you feeling good about life. Maybe regretting a few lost years, but certainly remaining with you all night and into the next day.
Go and see it!! It's bloody marvellous!!
I'm going again!
The Edge of Love (2008)
See this movie.
I saw this movie last night and must admit I was not eager to see it. However, I came away extremely moved by the way a simple plot was handled and acted.
Please see this movie and do not assume that it is a 'love story', It is in fact a very moving and strangely worrying depiction of human behaviour and attitudes to personal and social issues of both 'then' and 'now' Please see it.
I was also pleased to see some new and raw talent being used highly successfully in Ciallan Murphy. I haven't experienced this kind of sincere and human display of emotion for a long time. I was reminded of a young Dirk Bogarde and although that may not be fashionable by today's standards, I found it very refreshing and extremely hopeful for the movie industry. More please!!
