“The Boat That Rocked” Movie Review

“Pirate Radio” Plot Summary

A period comedy about an illegal radio station in the North Sea in the 1960s.

Very funny and clever

The best feel-good-factor film I’ve seen since Little Miss Sunshine. In 1967 I won a transistor radio and spent the next ten years listening to Radio Caroline (at night under the pillow, so the early scene is uncanny!!) The film is a clever amalgam of pirate radio fact and myth featuring barely disguised DJs, and cameo scenes from album covers, fashion shoots, etc.. (orgy in the hold = Electric Ladyland; girls arriving on the prow of the boat = Mary Quant…; poster scenes = Abbey Road…, etc.) Anyone’s guess if the station/boat owner is based on Ronan O’Rahilly. The kind of guy who, 20 years later might have founded a low-cost airline; The Marine Offences Act was a heinous offense against liberty and popular culture, worthy of the cold war opponents

Beautifully filmed, a bit like smoking grass while listening to CSNY.

“Yes Man” Movie Review

“Yes Man” Plot Summary

A guy challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.

He is back, finally!!

First of all I would like to say that this movie might seem like Liar Liar at first sight, but it is not!I think this movie is both funny and sweet. What if one word could change everything? I found myself wondering this after leaving the cinema, and I left it with a satisfied feeling of quality

This is the best Jim Carrey movie I have seen in years. I really enjoyed it and so did the rest of the audience too…And I love the soundtrack on this, the song he has as a ring-tone, Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is great, fantastic! I feel real good when I heard it, and the movie made me smile, but not just smile, also feel something! I felt real joy!!I must congratulate the director and the cast for a job well done! You made a movie that really works, and for that I am grateful! Good movies are rear these days. 9/10 for me, will buy it on blue-ray when it comes.
