Baby Driver (2017)
Nice try for a young guy
It's nice endearing to watch the lead actor to portray his character, it does however look a bit flat, lacking depth without much emotional response to the gruesome events occurring around the baby driver. It's probably more a director's oversight, or you may argue this is not his kind of film.. Well.. most of the people would need a rehab after a day of the Baby life and it was not mentioned he had an autism or similar condition.
There are other gross inconsistencies about the characters the actors trying to model, like the ruthless and calculating mob boss won't likely be prepared to die for two young kids in love...
Anyway, Kevin Spacey stills the show usual. Jon Hamm was a bit of disappointment, he lacks believability considering the excellent job he has done on the Mad Men show.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)
An attempt to mockumentary
The film is an honest attempt to make mockumentary and stuff it with as many clichés and nudges as possible about the entertainment world.
Several guest stars playing themselves did help a bit to create the atmosphere.
It leads us through patches in the career of a pop rap musician in his plight for a place in the spotlight after he had fall out with his boy band members. Think of Robbie Williams going solo or something like that but without heavy drugs or drinking. Mine favourite is from Mariah Carrey, who probably _is_ the most humble person she knows : )
The plot is quite predictable from the start, there were some nice twists though. The most of the songs are really politically incorrect, (even reminded a bit of Borat franchise). The last song is actually a hoot, no pun intended : ) ..
Final thought:
If you into this kind of films the documentary about Heath Ledger if definitely worth watching.
