Trying to remake such rude, anarchistic marvels is a fool's errand, and they try to do just that.<br />Better, I'd say, to lip-synch the originals, or intersperse live concert footage within the film. <br />Mind you, that might well mar the effort in other ways. Such as this film's interpersonal strengths -- his touching relations with father and son, his ineptitude with gals -- but it's the music wot Ian's all about, innit?<br />The acting is good all around. Would it be trite to add that Olivia Williams could have been better used? A dreamy beaut, she can also act. Winstone's not mined fully either: there's a massive talent.bertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408822744121760025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828494624080381504.post-39162892007296976842010-02-01T23:33:35.392+00:002010-02-01T23:33:35.392+00:00Phoenix continues to be the set closer for APWA. ...Phoenix continues to be the set closer for APWA.

I read the book and found it grimly compelling; I was not sure if I would want to see the film - although it was beautifully written, it was almost unbearable in its sense of despair. Curiously, the stills and trailers I have seen of the film accord very much with the descriptiveness in the book - the greay ashen clad world and pasty pale, haunted faces. I might take it in on the big screen now.Adrian Crudennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828494624080381504.post-71674377305750254772010-01-18T01:21:22.126+00:002010-01-18T01:21:22.126+00:00It was a good film.

Highlights for me were "stars die", and of course... "trains".

I am not sure how many times you seen the Kinks or Ray solo or even Dave solo, but my total is 48 times.There is a reason the term Kinkophile was invented. Thank your lucky stars that you had an oppertunity to see one the greatest ever to step foot on ANY stage yet again! I am from NYC and now reside in Dallas. I was present at the West Bank Theater for Rays original "Story Teller" shows that started the series on TV.I did get to see him once more after that on Long Island, NY. I would fly back to NYC in a heartbeat for the chance to see Ray again or god forbid, The Kinks! I only wish England was not so far, for I would of LOVED to of been "Bothered" to be asked to sing along for a great! God Bless The Kinks & Bless Your Heart Allan!

As for him being a fine guitarist, one can only assume this buffoon of a blogger can't play the instrument himself and therefore has no grasp of what a good player is.<br /><br />AFL is, at the very best, a mediocre guitarist, something I'm sure the man himself would admit to. <br /><br />Monsieur blogger, you write like a man desperate to be picked up by a magazine somewhere as some kind of budding writer. Might I suggest a less sycophantic approach to your writing and some English lessons.

I also thought that Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams did a great job of the acting but I just found it bland. The only real emotion I felt came close to the book was during the subway scene when Henry spoke to Annette DeTamble.<br /><br />I wish I had seen the film that you had seen. Sitting there the entire time knowing what was coming next and constantly comparing the film to the book ruined the experience for me.<br /><br />Still cried my eyes out though this probably more to do with my head than the film I was watching!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the book. Post a review when you are done.<br /><br />RxRachel Armstrongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828494624080381504.post-83769634233721979252009-09-14T12:10:06.809+01:002009-09-14T12:10:06.809+01:00One of my long standing dreams was to attend a U2 ...One of my long standing dreams was to attend a U2 concert live. .

Seperately, he could then reissue the original albums. No problems with that.<br /><br />But he's leaving the committed fan (and that's me and there's no such thing as a Neil album I'd rather not have - which is not to say that they are all great or even good) who will buy the Archives and still need to get the remastered albums to replace the less than excellent first generation CD's that are out there (with the exception of On The Beach, American Stars'N'Bars, Hawks And Doves and Re-Ac-Tor).<br /><br />It's difficult to be happy with this just after he's included the live albums that had just been released in the Archives set as well considerably lessening the value of them.Social Liberal Forum (Scotland)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16985694980195283392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828494624080381504.post-117128280985772832009-07-23T19:07:14.287+01:002009-07-23T19:07:14.287+01:00But Allan - would you honestly want everything?
