Films!

In Good Company
Saw this last weekend and haven't had time to write about it yet! The film is about Carter, a 26 year old middle manager in a global marketing corporation who is promoted to find himself in charge of Dan, who is 52 and highly experienced in his field. Carter is a bit of a wreck, his wife has left him and his only interest is his work, Dan on the other hand is a family man with a loving wife, 2 daughters and another baby on the way. This is a very slick production, with a well written and very honest script capturing the relationship between these two men, but it was a bit sickly sweet for me. I did enjoy the film, but I found it a bit cliched in places and very typically Hollywood. It was very funny though, so if you're in the mood for a lighthearted comedy then it's probably worth it.

Team America: World Police
Well, I've been putting this one off, but I finally got round to it last night and actually it was very funny. The film is shot with puppets, in a Thunderbirds style rendition of America saving the world and pissing people off. I think if I'd been in the right mood it would have been hilarious, but after a long day at work and cycling through the snow I don't think I got as much enjoyment out of it as I might have done. Basically it's a very well written piss-take on the nature of global politics today, with lots of famous faces putting in an appearance and a very witty soundtrack to keep it all together. It's well worth seeing if you like satirical humor, but being the mood for it will probably help.

Stuff and things

Well, what's been going on recently....erm, can't remember, so I'll start today and work backwards! Today it's mostly snowing, hence I'm working from home (SSH is a wonderful thing :o)) and I'm still cold, even with the heating on! I've got quite a lot to do and at the moment I'm not doing any of it, but I'll get myself sorted in a bit. I've actually sorted out some schools courses and stuff already today so it's not been a complete waste so far. I was ill at the beginning part of this week which was not fun, spent Monday at home and didn't feel well on Tuesday, but that's my day off so I just went to see [Bad username or unknown identity: Went to my first gig of the year last Sunday, with ]sadaprilsky.
