Forgetting Sarah MarshallAugust 27th 2008 01:31
The synopsis:
Peter Bretter (Jason Segal) is broken up with by his famous girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) & is absolutely besotted with grief. In an attempt to move on he takes a trip to Hawaii where he finds Sarah is also holidaying with her new rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). Thrown for a loop Peter continues to morn his loss until hotel clerk Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis) comes into the picture. Then the usual romantic comedy plot really comes into play when Sarah comes between Peter & Rachel. You can find the rest out for yourself, as I don’t want to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t yet seen it.
Kate Nash @ Oxford Art Factory '08June 20th 2008 06:21
This is a new review although the gig was some time ago. I had always meant to write a review so here it is.
I was really excited to grab a ticket to Kate Nash, as it was very last minute I found out she was playing. I had discovered her on Triple J while I was working at a job 100kms away from home, thus I spent a lot of time with my car radio. I fell in love with her song ‘Foundations’. I bought the EP being a tight arse and really enjoyed the other B-side songs, ‘Navy Taxi’ being my favourite of all her songs, which she didn’t play to my disappointment. Oxford Art Factory (Sydney) is a pretty good venue, it’s cosy which I like and the bar is nice and close. It also has a separate room if you want to get away from the crowd. It’s worth mentioning at this point that the toilets although nicely decorated, where overflowing, dark at very stinky, so ladies if you go there it benefits to wear heals. A photographer also snapped us, which made us feel a bit of celebrity and that certainly doesn’t go astray. But on with the gig… Kate was spectacular! She had great audience contact and was quite modest which I think adds to the cuteness of her character. She played both keys and guitar during the set, which is something I like to see, musicians that can actually play instruments. The thing I most enjoyed was that she really got into the emotional content of her music. She is a beautiful lyricist, who paints raw and honest stories with her sweet husky voice. Some would say the highlight was when Billy Bragg made a cameo to perform a duet of one of his classics ‘A New England’. I like Billy but I would hardly say this was the highlight. I think the whole set was delightful and Bragg was just a little bonus in that. I was really irritated by the majority of the crowd though as they continually chatted through her performance. It wasn’t like she was support, it was her gig and presumably that’s who the people were there to see. It gave the vibe of an open mic night at the local pub, where the music is just the backing to the talking. There was another room that they could have gone to if they weren’t interested in watching her. At times I think she was pissed off about it too, though she politely didn’t say anything. Kate Nash is an awesomely talented artist and performer. Her songs sound as good live as they do recorded and Kate genuinely seems like an intelligent, down to earth woman. Which is refreshing to see in today’s music industry.
