Big Fish (2003)
I laughed, I cried, I loved it!
This is a valentine for Tim Burton fans and there are sure to be many more after this wonderful film. I hadn't expected to be so moved by it, but I was. The Hollywood Foreign Press categorized it as Best Picture Comedy or Musical which if a bit puzzling, probably gives it more of a chance to garner a win. Amazing that the reactions are so polar opposite. Nothing mediocre about it!
Strut! (2001)
Shows the heart and soul of Mummery
A primer of sorts for the uninitiated and a chance to relive New Years Day for those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of it in the City of Brotherly Love. This short documentary features old black and white and new color footage from 2000 and many interviews with the Mummers, focusing on their loyalty, kinship, love of family, music, dance and Philly. I was unexpectedly moved to tears a few times, but on the whole the film is a tribute to fun and laughter and music, music, music. I recommend it!
