Sunshine and Light

Mediocre Movie nights

Hmm, a couple of ok flicks which qualified as not bad enough to turn off, not good enough to be excited about.

First up was "Hope and Glory". Rather than be a tale with intro, conflict resolution, climax, denouement and all of that good stuff, this is more along the lines of an extended slice of life move. It's set in London during WWII, and follows one families highs and lows as the war progresses. And then it just sort of ends.

Second was "Beyond the Sea" about Bobby Darin. This is sort of "De-Lovely" for the 60s. Overall not really that exciting, with the only really touching scenes coming at the very end. 1:45 is a long time to wait.

In neither case do you need to run screaming from the room should you be shown the movies. But don't knock your grandma down to see them either.
