Electrick Children, Brooklyn Brothers, Joyful Noise and the Art of Rap


A lingering love story filled with the curiosity of youth and the gentle nature of innocence. It flows to a modern beat of rock and the timeless tempo of the Utah and Nevada landscape.  An exceptional debut from Rebecca Thomas; can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.  
You can read my review here and I also interviewed Rebecca whose next film will involve Mermaids.. You can read the interview here. 

  The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best is another directorial debut from Ryan O Nan who also writes and stars in this musical road trip movie of sorts that starts slowly but strums along nicely once it gets going. Andrew McCarthy makes an appearance!

Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton throw bread rolls at each other, sing some songs and give some good old advice to their children and grandchildren in the gospel choir duelling picture, Joyful Noise.
My love for Dolly Parton knows no bounds! 9 to 5 was her finest movie moment (I think we can all agree on that) but to watch her dancing with (the ghost of) Kris Kristofferson under the moonlight was pretty special too!

Ice-T meets with a bunch of his friends from the world of rap to discuss their craft.  Each artist shares their different approach and all come across as passionate. The foundations of rap are focused on, the importance of performance, and the creative process of each is fascinating to learn about making this a fine tribute.
