Movies and Music

Just a brief round up of recent lps listened to and movies seen.
The lps are all quite mellow in this group, must be an indication of my current state of mind
The Amy Macdonald lp as mentioned few days ago is ok , nothing to get over excited about on its first listen but it will probably be a grower.
The new Josh Rouse "Country Mouse,City House" lp is great as usual , Josh Rouse is a well kept secret and that's just the way i like it.It's great 70'S tinged country-folk for those that do not know of him and he rarely fails to deliver great lps.Check out his "nashville" lp as a start point.
I have also caught up with Catherine Feeny and her new lp Hurricane Glass". It is well worth seeking out. She is a great singer songwriter,guaranteed songs on all of those US Living TV sitcoms.
Movie wise,The new Harry potter movie is excellent , very dark in places and really aimed at children over the age of 10 ( many under this age will just not get it) and it does miss out large chunks of the book which means that it does seem a little disjointed but it is still the best HP so far.
The Transformers movie is very good too and YES that did hurt me to write. I had low expectations of the film but these were soon totally exceeded with lots of great comedy and action sequences that were breathtaking. This type of film is normally well off of my radar but it worked on every level.
Shrek the Third is just plain average , it's a film to rent at most and a car boot copy is probably a better bet. There should be a few passable copies about now.
