And whilst it's crafted with all the style and panache of a veritable Hollywood love letter, the bitter taste it leaves means it reads more like vicious hate mail in hindsight. The group navigates the highs and lows of the movie industry during the transition from The Silent Era to The Golden Age of Hollywood, with the interstitial birth of the Talkies period proving more treacherous than many might have thought.

purpose, but it nevertheless proves to be a somewhat engaging blend of true-life chronicling and fictional characterization. I knew once [we] were doing exteriors, [we're] gonna get papped," she said of the news the pictures generated. This is how I discovered the film, through a music promotion of its soundtrack that was done by an independent radio station that kept playing the popular tracks by reggae legends Aswad, Michael Prophet, and Yabby U.

narrative is coherently linear, the larger purpose beyond painting a vivid picture of lust-for-life extremes seems scattered. At the end I realised apart from one sewuwnce I hadn't been bored - I actually liked the film, with all it's imperfections (my opinion). In May, there was “Downton Abbey: A New Era,” which included a subplot about silent cinema actors facing a cold reality when “talkies” become all the rage, forcing them to deal with a sudden upheaval in their careers. Its nemesis Singing In The Rain is far far more engaging and not because its lighter; its overflowing with original talent. It has a very casual sense of humor that can be a bit misleading, but ultimately the film touches upon violence, segregation, and social injustice in much the same way as John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood did on this side of the Atlantic.Its story focused on a group of young black men from Brixton -- Blue (Brinsley Forde), Beefy (Trevor Laird), Spark (Brian Bovell), Lover (Victor Romero Evans), and Wesley (T-Bone Wilson) -- who had to overcome the same issues many minority groups in the UK were struggling with.

Jovan Adepo's trumpeter Sidney is also pretty damn sympathetic, but is given short thrift by a story that seems to deal with him relatively incidentally, almost making the same mistake with Li Jun Li's Lady Fay but somehow the actress manages to just steal every damn scene she's in, leaving her a much more memorable supporting role than what was clearly on paper. When Hollywood tried to strip that away from him, in a heartbreaking and uncomfortable moment as you watch him play in pain and humiliation, the payoff is worth it and makes you happy.
