Recently I've seen four really excellent movies. First I saw Up. Its the story of Carl Fredricksen a lonely old man who doesn't want to be evicted from his house and ends up finding adventure and friendship in unexpected places. Its a truly moving and wonderful experience (I cried a few times) with the most beautiful story and wonderful characterisation. Its a treat for the heart and for the eyes too with magical 3D and stunning visuals. Its sad and heartrending but funny and uplifting and you will leave the cinema feeling exhilarated. I thoroughly recommend it to everybody. I then went to see Zombieland which is a totally different type of movie, its a fast-paced and hilarious Zombie movie (clue in the title.) Its gross but brilliant and everything a zombie movie should be. Woody Harrelson is an absolute revelation in his finest role since Cheers and possibly the finest character in cinema history. It seriously kicks ass. Then I went to see Michael Jackson (This is It.) Now, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this that much but I was really pleasantly surprised. It looked like a seriously impressive show with Michael Jackson himself looking and sounding good. His band and dancers were absolutely fantastic and the set -list was mind-blowing. We were singing and dancing along in our seats. The arrangement and staging was so so impressive especially a beautiful version of Human Nature, Just Can't StopLoving You a wonderful duet with a supremely impressive female singer named Judith and an version of Billie Jean in the encore that in a real concert I'm sure would have brought the house down. So whether you're a fan or not go and see it and gain a new appreciation of MJ. Finally I went to see Fantastic Mr Fox, based on the book of the same nameby Roald Dahl. It was an old school delight with stop-motion animation and retro looking puppets. It was charming, quirky, funny and sweet. The characterisation was excellent, the script was sharp and the voice cast was top-notch. Another big hit for me.
Spazibo and amore to you all.
