A few more reviews from the last week or two
Velvet Goldmine. A slightly odd but well done and entertaining fictional account of the glam rock era, where a journalist investigates the faked "assasination" and supposed disappearance of a Bowie like rock star some 20 years prior, interspersed with the journalist's own experiences of that era including his own sexuality and brief affair with said star. Maybe an odd subject but as I say, very well done and engrossing.
Tennet: a time travel based action adventure. Nonsense of course, but cleverly put together and entertaining, James Bond-ish entertainment. Ok it was a big budget film, entertaining and perhaps objectively better than the very low budget "Frequently asked questions about time travel" which I reviewed upthread, but the latter was perhaps more fun
"Point Break". A young Keanu Reeves and Patricks Swazee as, respectively FBI agent and bank robber, which is tied in with the Californian surfing scene. Sounds utterly stupid, but very slickly done, great script, and somehow makes sense. Was prompted to watch it as it's referenced by the Nick Frost character in Hot Fuzz who's obsessed with cop buddy movies. Anyhow, a great film, well worth seeing
