saw 5 movies over the weekend, so here be some qwikie reviews, starting with the best of what we saw

Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him?)
Without Him
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
NR | 116 min

What do you know about Harry Nilsson? Probably about as much as we did, which was nothing beyond his singing the theme song to Midnight Cowboy.  He’s such a forgotten figure that his wikipedia entry doesn’t have a picture!!!  Well, if you can survive this almost 2-hour rambling look at the golden’s voice not so golden life, then you will AND THEN SOME!!!  And although it may not be very focused, or very good at telling us what time & place we’re at, you gonna tell we that you don’t want to see a documentary about the man who John Lennon said was his favorite group?????  Or the man who had Ringo Starr as the best man at his wedding?  Or the guy who somehow had a stellar recording career without ever touring? Or who wrote the score to Altman’s Popeye (wait, there was a score to Popeye?)?  If that’s not enuff to rope ya in, don’t you wanna know who the Andy Samberg looking guy in the picture above is????  You should.  And that guy’s teeth are almos more amazing than his hair is be!!!

Nilssson: what’s better than one Harry Nilsson?  how bout three of em!!!

Verdictgo: Jeepers Mos Def Worth A Peepers

Nilsson is already ready for you to watch it on Netflix!

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
