Hello blog. I remember you. You were in my life before all those other deadlines came along. Now you're back.
And to kick off, even though I'm not known for liking comedies (who wants to laugh when you can cry, right?) but this is receiving a lot of buzz around the net and looks very good. Ben Stiller has some shameful and some good stuff in his filmography... this looks like it could be on the good side.
First Omar. Now Snoop.
It's brutal out there. You're killing me with this season. But it's the best thing on TV period.
If you don't have a clue what all this is about, click here.
'Under the Bombs' turns out not to have much competition in terms of the best films in one of the bleakest months on record for decent releases. But I suspect I would be at the top of the list whatever. The film is a fictional account of a young woman's search for her son during the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon in 2006. The Director started shooting the film ten days into the bombardment as a way of coming to terms with what was happening. Using only 4 actors, the rest of the 'cast' are the people of Lebanon themselves, bringing an incredible power to the screen and making it the must-see for this month. I'll post more details when it's clear where it'll be opening.
