MOGUL MOWGLI – ★★★☆

Films can resonate with you for any number of reasons. Obviously seeing parallels to your own life, or experiences, or maybe even just the mood on the day. I’ll admit after 20 minutes I was worried that I wouldn’t make it through, as I’m not much into hiphop, but I’m glad I stuck with it. A film about the demons a British rapper of Pakastani descent facing a severe medical condition on the cusp of a break in his career. Very nicely filmed, and excellent portrayal of the need to be at peace with what the universe delivers.

SOME KIND OF HEAVEN – ★★★

Documentary about some of the residents in a large retirement village in Florida. It pitches itself as the perfect place for people of a certain age to spend the rest of the days, and this followed the lives of some of its residents. Somewhat depressingly, it seems that even in the golden years, you can see the same problems that young people face – for many of these residents, they are still trying to find the meaning of life, looking for love or companionship, or in the case of one less than likeable Californian, “a chick with money”.
