Morning, everyone! I have a dozen or so things to do today, so let’s do a quick round of six-word reviews …
A Band Called Death: Punk started early in Detroit, apparently. [John]
Call Me Kuchu: Uganda’s anti-gay policy, examined in detail. [Susan]
Everyday Is Like Sunday: Toronto indie. I’ve certainly seen worse.
A Hijacking: Bad things happen. You are there.
Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp: One man invented hip-hop culture. Seriously.
In a World …: … Lake Bell gets her voice heard.
Jobs: Kutcher? Really? I’m sorry, but no. [Jose]
Kick-Ass 2: More ass-kicking! Also, Jim Carrey? [Phil]
Lee Daniels’ The Butler: How does this guy keep working? [Susan]
Paranoia: Harrison Ford good, everything else awful.
La Pirogue: Senegalese emigrants set sail into trouble. [Rad]
The Spectacular Now: Great performances, good script, solid movie.
And there you have it! Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s cake o’clock somewhere …
Happy birthday, Norm!
