Minishot review
The other night, I watched Dean Spanley which was an interesting little movie. The cast was led by Peter O'Toole and Jeremy Northam, the former causing constant hilarity with his goggle-eyed expressions and dry English phrases, while the latter astonishing me with the similarity of his face to that of Jason Isaacs. At times, he looked so like him, it was kind of scary. :P
A little note for comparison:
(a)
(b)
(a) Jeremy Northam and (b) Jason Isaacs
Northam looks like a younger version of Isaacs, and it was very nice to have a reminder of one of my Top Five. The film itself was quite enjoyable; nothing amazing, but more amusing than not. A quick synopsis from IMDB:
"Set in Edwardian England where upper lips are always stiff and men from the Colonies are not entirely to be trusted, Fisk Senior has little time or affection for his son, but when the pair visit an eccentric Indian, they start a strange journey that eventually allows the old man to find his heart."
I also watched Marie Lloyd: Queen of the Music Halls (Richard Armitage plays the main character's first husband) and really enjoyed that. The Cockney music was surprisingly catchy and it's ended with me having bought a few of the songs to whistle as I spend my time Photoshopping and doing general bits of nothing. :)
I swear I'm spending too much time on the computer... *sigh*
And I'm not quite sure what the point of this post was. *shakes head* I must be getting senile in my old age.
