What Do Pythons and Creeping Kids Have In Common?

May 22, 2008 12:26

Absolutely nothing. But I just finshed, over the last few weeks, Michael Palin's Pole to Pole, New Europe and Himalayas and watched Joshua last night.

Michael Palin Travelogues: Not films per se, but really fun in surprising ways. He comes off as quite the introvert, and yet people seem to really respond to him across the globe, whether they recognize him or not. I'm hooked on these, and really get excited when I know a new one is on the way. Unfortunately there are only two left I haven't seen...Sahara and Around the World in 80 Days. 9/10

Joshua: This kid IS the Creeping Kid. I expected a revamp of The Good Son or Rosemary's Baby, and there were elements of both, but this was a much more subtle flick. Sam Rockwell is awesome, though out of place in a suite and tie. The kid is just creepy, and I was surprised by Vera Farmiga who I thought sucked in Departed. She was actually very good in this as the crazy gone crazier mother. This starts off slow, and build to a boil, so stick with it...just saying. But it's worth it. 7/10
