Her music - MIA is absolutely fantastic.A self- taught rapper,songwriter, and producer.Infectious,inventive tunes.A Sri Lankan born lass, she uses a tamils' urumee drum.Lyrics interesting, fluid, ambiguous, hard to decipher, mix of gangsta talk. Nas the rapper said after hearing her 1st album Arcula- only once."Right thats it, she's the future."
In Tooting she met Miranda Sawyer. I thought I'd mention my links to that part of South London. When I competed there I finished fourth best discus thrower and second 800m, third in 1500m and sixth in the 4x400m in the whole south of the UK, on the same day. I also met another general store manager at the Tooting branch of discounter Kwik Save. We were both on a fresh food course, in Stratford, and a Human Resources presentation together in Leytonstone. Also, a Liquor Licensing course at Battersea.
MIA explains how she witnessed something puzzling while she was in East London. "Tower Hamlets got a new MP. The MP toned down the violence by flushing everyone with loads of heroin to sedate all the bengalis."
Miranda Sawyer thinks she's inarticulate.I think the complete opposite. Tourism should be connected to politics. She's an intelligent, hugely talented artist, who's had to overcome some knocks in life. She says she lived a very happy home life with her Mum.
'The Killer Inside Me' the film. Simon Mayo describes it as vile & misogynist. Sheer horror being depicted. worrisome and deeply upsetting acts of violence.
Romola Garai describes the film.'Misogyny stems from its women being denied characterisation.'
It's a serious film much like The Departed, The Hurt Locker. Its like listening to a symphony and hearing the volume suddenly turned up a thousand times, so the music is lost and all that remains is the pounding pain in your eardrums.
Greenberg is a highly intelligent, wholly uningratiating movie brings together two immensely gifted New Yorkers. Busy, and angry doing nothing says Observer film critic - Philip French. Ben Stiler excels as a depressive in Noah Baunbach's acutely revealing film about a man at war with the world.
Philip French when he reviewed 'Frantic'. Misplaced, out of context in my opinion.Yes, the film started engrossing, and remained so throughout in the Parisian underworld.
