The Night Before (2015)
How will Seth Rogen evaluate his films when he grows up ?
I can't help but wonder, (as a competitor of Adam Sandler for the most juvenile smutty and profane movies ever made) what will Seth Rogen think of his own work when he "grows up" and has children of his own (if he can have children). If I were him I would be totally and absolutely embarrassed, change my name and get a face-lift. In my opinion, (- and I am not a prude), all the unnecessary swear words and sexual references (probably to appeal to the younger kids) are a very cheap and vulgar way of trying to becoming a movie star, and will guarantee a very short life for his films. As a fellow Canuck, I am embarrassed to learn that he "grew up" in Canada.
Blake (1969)
Great essay on freedom
"Blake" is a movie about freedom. Blake James is a draftsman by day and a free spirit by night, flying his plane where and when the spirit led him. I especially enjoyed seeing Blake landing unannounced at the Ottawa International Airport when he was short of fuel. (I also played hockey with him, - he was as good a goalie as Bill Mason was a Center-man.) The filming is excellent, very personal and natural, even using Bill's son (Paul) as a curious youngster who gets a free ride with Blake over Meech Lake and the Gatineau Hills (where Bill and Blake lived). I heartedly recommend this short film to anyone who likes nature and a breath of fresh air.
