Growing Darkness
Gwen- is a really good period folk horror drama that has elements of gothic, supernatural and psycholoigcal horror. Eleanor Worthington Fox and Maxine Peake are really good in this film.

The plot: Desperately trying to hold everything together, young Gwen struggles with her mother's mysterious illness, her father's absence and a ruthless mining company that's encroaching on their land. As a growing darkness begins to take grip, the local community grows suspicious and slowly turns on the beleaguered family.

Its a slow pace film but it does get intresting, intense, supernatural, gothic and psychological overtime. Its a good horror film.

All of these George Formby movies from the early 40s are pretty much the same: Formby plays a well-meaning simpleton who manages to prove his worth to the war effort somehow, getting a girl who is really out of his league and performing a song or four along the way. There is inevitably some slapstick and a chase as well.

This one is about par for the course, although the musical numbers are not amongst Formby's best. The plot is a bit more tightly constructed than usual and the final sequence (concluding with Formby on the wall of death in a go-kart) is inventively put together. Passes the time.

Book Rating
I was so excited to read this book! I LOVE Tina Fey in 30 Rock and on SNL, I found her absolutely hilarious! This book however, was not. I laughed through the Introduction and the Growing Up and Liking It chapters but that was it. I thought this book would be filled with funny stories and zinging one liners - it was not. I still love Tina Fey as an actress but as a writer, she kind-of sucks. Her writing is very choppy, the chapters don't flow together and I wasn't too impressed with all the (actual!) scripts within the pages. It took me forever to finish reading!
