So, watched two feel good movies last weekend and just getting around to blogging it now. Pirate Radio (The Boat that Rocked for those of you outside North America) and Paper Heart.
The Boat that Rocked...
Those of you that call yourself music fans, this is a must watch. A quick about, this movie follows a boat of pirate DJs bucking the establishment. They played and said what they wanted, in a less accepting time of open feelings and free speech. As usual, Bill Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman were greatly entertaining. Not only did I appreciate the dry British humour but the music was great. A true journey back in time to visit some of the great musicians who bravely opened the door for today's artists. One song that stuck out which I was surprised to hear was Yusuf Islam's (better known as Cat Stevens) Father and Son, an incredibly touching song, solid.
Paper Heart...
This movie needs only one word, cute. This movie (documentary/mockumentary?) follows Charlyn Yi's quest to find out what true love is. The random appearances of some of today's greatest comedians was greatly welcomed by Amanda and I (we love stand up and anychance these unsung artists get recognition is ok by us). Basically, watching this movie is like having a story book read to you by innocently funny people. A great movie to cheer up the day.
