In Cold Blood / Capote

[El Gordo]

A great antidote to the grim Capote movies. I've heard A Mighty Wind described as the Spinal Tap of folk music. The conceit is a modern reunion of various fictional folk bands who were well known in the 60s. But it's really just an excuse to poke fun at that anodyne brand of family-safe folk music that used to be big. Sort of Peter Paul and Mary, but not quite so foul-mouthed and hard-hitting.

The sad fact is that I actually enjoyed the music, all of which was written specially for the film. Anyway, it's a gleeful romp, very funny in places (in a kind of squirmy Woody Allen way). Well worth catching.
