Yet another film blog.
Today, I went and saw Fame.
I thought it was good but lacked originality. It needed it's own unique spin with our modern artistic society and I didn't get that vibe. They just injected hip-hop, rap, techno, stereotypical African Americans and technology. I missed the whole indie side to music we have now-days and wanted THAT kind of originality. Seriously, it was like someone shone a mirror up to the 1980s Fame and shone it into the 21st century, I was sitting in the movie picking things that we're simply copied/modernised from the original. But other than that it was entertaining and the acting was alright.

Verdict: 3/5 stars - mostly for effort.

Also, I rented Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. LOVED THIS FILM! I don't know why but these small indie films just seem to warm my heart and involve amazing scripts. You know, things like Juno or Little Miss Sunshine or even (500) Days of Summer. For me, these movies just hold that special (or even secret) ingredient to make a great film by my standards.

Verdict: 4/5 stars. It is an off beat love story that did find a small place in my heart to warm.

Thanks for reading.
