ALMOST FAMOUS

January 31, 2010:

When I first saw this several years ago, I was blown away. I loved it. It spoke to me. I don't know why, I have never connected with the music scene like some people do and movies about the journey into a musical awakening never appeal to me. But I loved this movie.

And it was still good. This time wasn't as magical as the first, but I liked William's friendship with Phillip Seymore Hoffman's character and how he stands up for himself. He doesn't really let himself get sucked into Stillwater's culture even though he is a big fan. He stays true to himself. don't like that Penny Lane goes to Morocco without William though. Not cool.


...so that is 5 movies for the month of January. At this rate, I will have only seen 60 by the end of December. That gets me through the letter "F." This may take several years. Bear with me.

  1. I liked this movie a lot (although not enough to buy it), and I think it's because the film makes you really care about the characters. But then that's the secret to great stories.
