Last Film You Saw

"Get on Up", the story of James Brown.

I have mixed views on this adaptation. It doesn't break any new ground on biopics, but it does throw in some nice juxtaposition and 'fourth wall' into the mix periodically, as a nice touch. The odd thing about this piece is that it skates over Brown's mega egotistical personality in such a way that you barely realise its magnitude!

Whilst the supporting cast is okay(Jill Scott is large, but smokin' HOT!), Chadwick Boseman's re-enactment of James Brown's stage performance is electrifying! You almost feel like you're watching the man himself!

The other bonus is if you're a fan of funk and soul, you will find yourself swaying to the old classics.


The end result is you will have seen better and worse bios.
 
Just a heads up
Saving Private Ryan is on tonight...Tuesday...CH5 10pm
I know it's been on loads but always worth a look if just for the opening half hour
 
Cheers for that heads up - the first few minutes of that film - wow. Just been to see night at the museum- very very average - not funny or much of a story line - good effects though 5/10 - not a patch on paddington
