  Music and Lyrics 2007

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  I can’t say this enough: the naughties were peak.

  It’s possible childhood nostalgia might be a factor, but Hollywood just doesn’t make high concept movies like this anymore.

  I would’ve liked some more payoff on the uni professor subplot, but I’ll settle for the credits scene thing.

  Entirely predictable? Yes - but that’s the point.
  Loads of fun? Absolutely.
  Gold and silver? Pop goes my heart.

  Nb: Watching this on Amazon Prime with a single ad break actually gave a pleasant taste of watching movies on TV in 2007. It meant we had a chance to take the dishes to kitchen and got some dessert.

  The Black Balloon 2008

  ★★★ Watched 07 May 2021

  This is the most Australian movie I’ve ever seen. The whole movie could be a VB ad. However, the only inaccuracy, for which I deducted 2 stars, was that a Queensland man would drink VB instead of XXXX gold.

  So long as you have the rights to adapt a beloved property and a couple actors to drive marketing you really can spit out anything out...
