movie wise- this week was really crappy movies on tv week- ‘iron maze’ tried so hard to be this serious deep film on the state of the post industrial towns in America where big Japanese businesses are turning derelict mills into god help us – amusement parks!! facile racist and above all badly acted.
the other one was this rather pathetic attempt to cash in on the new bollywood hype in britain courtesy 'moulin rouge' and 'bend it like beckham'- a romeo and juliet story set in london where a ‘bollywood queen’ and a glaswegian boy, fall in love, are torn apart by elder brothers, etc etc.. they break out into song constantly making 'clever' bollywood references.. you know you white brit dude who directed the film- its not easy to make the films that we make.. though they look like fluff to you they do have their own language that you cant simply take parts of and expect to recreate- their 'mad, bad and beautiful' nature (as you put it) is tough to acheive.. you just tried and failed big time.. but well tried anyway- i now respect farah khans 'main hoon na' much more.
