walk the line
Saw this with Apoa today. She wasn't sure but I persuaded her and she thought it was pretty good. I think some of the middle bits were a bit slow and grownup for her. I've been playing the kids 'Folsom Prison Blues' for ages so it had a bit of family significance too. I really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for popstar biopics anyway and would agree with Mark Kermode that this is up there with the Buddy Holly Story and Slade in Flame (although, to be honest, I don't remember too clearly what the teenage me made of them). Without wanting to spoil it, I thought the two best scenes were the 'one song' bit and the 'I can't go down there' bit.
Meanwhile, we came first equal in the school film quiz last night. We'd have won if we could have listed the 20 Broccoli Bond movies in their order of release. We got the first 9 and the last 3 but the rest were a bit of a Roger Moore-Timothy Dalton soup.
B-)
