Mo Movie Measure

Filed under: — WeatherGirl @ 3:45 pm

I just came across the Mo Movie Measure. Sadly, almost everything I’ve seen recently fails by a huge margin. Most of the half way decent movies just lately seem to be about individual men psychologically disintegrating with nary a woman in sight. *sigh*

How hard would it be for a screenwriter to write an interesting story about an interesting woman? There are plenty of interesting women in the world. Perhaps the screenwriters aren’t up to the job?

To summarise: to be worth watching, a movie should have:

1. at least two women in it
2. who talk to each other
3. about something besides a man

Brief Lives

Filed under: — WeatherGirl @ 6:44 pm

We went to see Brief Lives at the Mercury Theatre staring Roy Dotrice. It’s a one man performance based on the writings of John Aubrey. The reclusive antiquarian takes a nostalgic journey through history, telling tales, “including the bits the the history books leave out.”

It was a very enjoyable performance filled with humour and pathos.
