This looks good. See, what can you do when you take the money for special effects and give it to a writer? This looks real good...

There's a few good looking movies coming up, but most will in all likelihood be fluff. This looks good - not least because of the director...

...Running into an old friend at Higher Ground a few weeks ago, Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders would be playing the last week of February, Thursday, and I made a mental note...
No chance of me seeing it. I'd seen it once, a long time ago, thought I'd seen it since but upon watching it tonight again realized that I hadn't. Most of it was new, most of it long forgotten, still a masterpiece, but I doubt one much for modern tastes. Times change.

Saw this with the daughter, it was brilliant and perfectly captured the experience of being black in America. Not that I'm in a position to know, but the general tone - the references to "I Voted for Obama" and "Tiger Woods was the best Golfer" - the pure vanilla of the girlfriends family, the scene where he's forced to watch the "happy white american family" on the TV - it works on a lot of levels. The twist, well, it's good, but hardly necessary, all the horrors of cultural appropriation and assimilation are there well beforehand...
