    Celebration at Big Sur

    ★★

    Not very interesting documentary about a 1969 music festival. The music is dull, the crowd interviews are dull. Just feels like a home movie made on a handheld 8mm camera. CaBS's most (in)famous moment is Stephen Stills failing to beat up a stoned heckler. For the definitive late 60s music festival movie watch Woodstock.

    British comedy films are either exceptionally good (Paddington, Hot Fuzz, Withnail & I, Bridget Jones, etc.) or absolute dogshit. Moonwalkers is the latter.

    Average early sci-fi movie. The inspiration for 1979's Alien but apart from that it's not really that great.

    Personally I think this comedy drama is Ben Wheatley's best film. The excellent ensemble cast keep the plot fizzing along as it weaves an ominous path. Although it's not really anything like it, reminded me of Gosford Park, which is also an excellent film.
