We saw Get on Up this afternoon – the James Brown movie. This film is a blast to watch, on the strength of a wonderful performance by Chadwick Boseman as JB. In seconds you forget it’s an actor playing Brown.
The story, which seems to be somewhat santitized, takes a back seat to the music. That’s OK with me. I don’t need a studied analysis of James Brown’s life. I need the groove, and Get on Up does offers up plenty of groove.

Good to hear that it’s a good flick. I’m hoping to see it at well. I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy yesterday with the “boy”. It was a surprisingly entertaining movie. One of the best sci-fi movies I’ve seen in a long time (and I see a lot a those.) I also got to see The Zero Theorem on the big screen (in a limited run at the Royal, after the internets protested the direct to disc release.) Entertaining Terry Gilliam cinematic collage of visuals, paranoia and puns.
Looking forward to Get On Up, and the funk. (Been working on my E9 chords)
