At the Cinema: Scott Pilgram Vs. The World
This was actually pretty funny and much better than I had feared it might be. It is often the case that a film's trailer has the best parts and there is no need to see the actual film. However, in the case of Mr. Pilgram the film actually works. A comedy in a minor key perhaps, but fun none the less. (And on a hot afternoon as we are currently "enjoying" here in LA, two hours in the air conditioned darkness is welcome indeed.)
On Video: Whip It
In some respects this is fairly standard 'coming of age film' and another comedy in a minor key, but it is well done, heartfelt and showcases the obvious talent of Ellen Page. She is now receiving good reviews for her performance in Inception and the talent garnering those well deserved notices is clear to see in Whip It. We can expect to see more of her in the future.
