Film Review #214: Pirate Radio 2008 Director: Richard Curtis Cast: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Emma Thompson Maybe the surprise engagement softened us up, but I prefer to see it as further evidence of the enduring power of rock’n’roll. Local music fans will remember when WAER’s deejay Eric Cohen used the main stage at Jazz Fest to go down on one knee. Last Friday night another...

1. Because Carey Mulligan (Pride and Prejudice 2005) is said to be outstanding in this film. The role has made her a break-out star. Sensitive, clever, and intelligent films are few and far between.

Went to see this movie this evening with my teens. Yes, it's rated R (or "Arrrrr", if you prefer), due to excessive use of the F-bomb, and for references to sex and drugs. Because it is a movie about off-shore rock-and-roll stations, and nothing goes better with rock 'n' roll than sex and drugs. At least when the movie is set in 1966. Truly, it was nothing my kids couldn't see, but I leave...

I don't have a lot to say about the movies opening this weekend, so I won't, but... Pirate Radio is one of those movies that should have been an easy home run, but ends up being safe at first base on an error. Cast is amazing, including turns by Emma Thompson and January Jones, who allows herself to play the sexy girl here, which is usually something she shies away from outside of magazines. Hoffman...
