Father & Son (2009)
Excellent Storyline
I've just watched all 4 episodes of Father & Son in one go and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Storyline was great as were Dougray Scott & Reece Noi's acting.
Watching the pain on Dougray Scott's face or the scowl on Reece Noi in certain scenes was at times too painful to watch.
However in my opinion, certain parts of the plot were too neatly wrapped up or not explored enough & some accents wavered , but on the whole it was an amazing portrayal of a parent's sacrifices in life.
I certainly hope and look forward to it being released on DVD because it certainly is worth buying.
Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)
See This Film !
This evening I went to see "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" which was screened as part of the London Film Festival.
I decided to see this film because of my love of the "Motown Sound" and I have to say that it was a good decision!
It was a delight to discover that Funk Brother Robert White was responsible for the guitar lick that introduces "My Girl" (My all-time favourite tune!)
However, it was also heartbreaking to realise that not only have some of the Funk Brothers passed on but that it took so long for respect to be paid to these Musical Masters.
My wish is that this film is seen by as many people as possible.
So as to let people know that it's not just about the record deals, clothes & houses, it's about the love, passion & talent for music which the Funk Brothers so clearly have.
