John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway (2018)
Brilliant. A must see for people of all ethnicities and nationalities.
I'll admit, I put this on thinking it was a another Netflix stand up comedy special, looking for a laugh, and not having heard of the Broadway show. Instead it left me with a wet face - not from tears of laughter. I'm white, but that didn't make this any less pertinent or profound. I always liked John Leguizamo but after watching this he's my favourite new person. It also worth watching his Tony acceptance speech, which left me in tears also.
In this crazy messed up world it's comforting to know that there are voices out there like Leguizamo's. I related to him as a parent trying to do the best one can by his children, and as someone with great love for America even with it's F'd up history (and present).
Do yourself a favour and watch this.
Sunshine (2007)
bad film
oh, man. I normally don't comment on IMDb... but this film has motivated me to. I'm a fan of Danny Boyle and i know that Alex Garland can write a good yarn... but oh, man, this is a terrible film.
Oh, god, it's bad. In too many ways to bother writing. I normally don't think of any movie as being a waste of my time, but this... well at least i didn't pay to see it as the cinema.
Yes, very lame. Lame-O. With a capital "O".
Sure, watch it. Make up your own mind as you always should. I'm just telling you what i thought. I didn't like it.
If you want a "people going crazy on a spaceship" movie, try the Soderberg version of Solaris which is amazing (can't speak for the original that i haven't seen yet, though i hear that's very good too). Even give Event Horizon a look - it's far better than this.
