Precious

Finally got around to seeing the movie Precious this evening. A rather full on story but well told and nicely realised. It is based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire. Certainly worth seeing (IMHO).

The Age of Stupid

Released in the UK today(ish). The Age of Stupid presents a perspective from 2055, looking back at 2008 and wondering why we didn’t do anything about climate change when we had a chance. An interesting fusion of drama and documentary. Starring Pete Postlethwaite. The film is accompanied by the Not Stupid campaign, aimed at building activism prior to the Copenhagen summit at the end of the year. Fantastic idea. Here’s hoping it makes a difference!
