Skeletons (2010)
Enchanting, Mysterious masterpiece
I stumbled across this movie late one night, and am so glad I gave it the time it deserved. It's enchanting, mysterious with enough twists and excellent acting and interplay between the two lead actors. As jobbing and somewhat jaded psychics, one who is troubled and one over sensitive and caring, they work as a great team and drawing the viewer into their strange world of insight and mystery. The soundtrack alone is just amazing, with a quirky almost french movie feel to it mixed in with eastern power, married with the visuals and emotions of this film makes for a sublime, cult classic that deserves more appreciation and love. watch this movie if you like oddball, quirky intelligent stuff...
Almost Famous (2000)
Loved this movie!
Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe. Beautifully uplifting at times, witty, melancholy and reflective at others. A true life journey for a young journalist who has the opportunity of a lifetime to follow Stillwater, an up and coming band in 1973. It seems to capture the cyclic life of rock stars and their followers in a charming way, with some great visual and sonic moments. Along the way our lead character meets all the aspects of a 70's rock life, witnessing the fragile balance and euphoric moments that touch the viewer and encapsulated the 70's world and life of rock and touring bands. A charming look back to the days where the battle was to please the fans, make the cover of a magazine and conquer the world .. well as least make the end of the tour in one piece. I loved this movie, and even discovering it years after it was out still love it. We need more rock in this world
