Hoodwinked

it has been said, on occasion, that i have questionable taste in films...

there maybe some truth in that...

but in contrast to my usual zombie-related fare, i am currently 'proper feeling' the hoodwinked vibe...

and if you haven't seen it (i'm not known for being especially up-to-date, so chances are it may have gone global with me none the wiser) - i recommend you check it out!

its like a post-modern take on little red riding hood... and in a bizarre take on the way things normally go, its got songs in it and i like it! i've seen/heard the 'd-na-me-tay' joke somewhere before - but i'll let it off...

[as an interesting aside, i heard the jo brand hignfy "make the cockneys love abu qatada" gag before on the wireless... they were both broadcast by the bbc, hence the 'cross-referencing, by punt and dennis' execution was much better]

anyway, assuming you haven't seen hoodwinked, i shouldn't really tell you anything more about the plot than i already have...

i like the goat...

thing is, i tend to listen to hoodwinked a lot more than i watch (you know how it goes)...

and i've come to the realisation that its almost certainly one of my favourite in-film soundtracks ever...

it has been said that i have questionable taste in film soundtracks (although much less often), just putting it out there - also on the list is the billy corgan 'dicking around' on mel gibson vehicle 'ransom'...

but i digress... the opening number (aside from the dvd music which is pretty funky the first 20 or so times) sounds like something on mr e's first solo album with a really nice melody... later on there's 'red is blue' which has a proper 90's ethereal shoe-gaze vibe about it... and there's even some angular punk...

nice...

oh yeah... and the goat.

i like the goat.

he's been cursed, and has to sing everything...

he also has interchangeable horns...

i'm not normally big on the banjo/buegrass/yodelling, but its impossible to like the goat without likin' his song - because of his affliction...

he's a pretty darn melodic goat - check it out
 

and of course, here it is again - backwards!!!

so does this sudden liking for 'goat music' mean there maybe something bluegrass-y coming off of planet bwoi soon?! probably not... 

unless its going backwards... 8)
