Billy Taylor I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
Claudia: "Even before you've got to the exit, you're immediately discussing who was better, Benning or Moore. Both could be nominated for Oscars"
Danny: "Anyone that's been in or around a marriage, will see huge chunks of truth here" -
THE HUNTER
Claudia: "I found the first half incredibly moving. There was barely any dialogue between [Ali] and his wife and his beautiful daughter, but I felt he worshipped them and I felt his pain when they were gone so I was completely swept up."
Danny: "It takes a lot of patience to stay with the film but I think that patience is rewarded in the first half. After that the film kind of lurches." -
DANNY ON....DESPICABLE ME
One of the (many) things I like about Despicable Me is that, while watching it, you can almost squint and half-picture the very different movie it could have been. This alternative version might be called the Tim Burton (or Henry Selick) directors’ cut – an ornate, blackly comic affair with a distinctly gothic flavour, instead of its actual 60s retro vibe. And certainly, the ingredients for a much darker yarn are all there. In fact, as soon as you set eyes on Gru’s suburban home, its inspirations in some playfully sinister sources are obvious – chiefly the cartoons of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams - conjuring up a story in which Gru’s plans are much more fiendish, and the plight of the three orphans a good deal more perilous. It could have been great, but after Toy Story 3’s gut-wrenching near-apocalypse, I still maintain there’s a place in the world for a kids’ film that plays with the dark side without necessarily giving its youngest fans the screaming ab-dabs.
