WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?
Recommended. Lollywood meets a western love flick in this British movie. The beauty of Pakistani culture - both material: clothes, architecture, music, cuisine, perfumes and religious ideas about marriage are faced with Western scepticism and flippancy. The entertaining form conceals a deep, insightful comparison of being British versus British-born. They may be Shoreditch neighbours but "are continents apart". A film-maker being at the mercy of her own and others' outlook is another issue tackled. But most of all the movie makes you wanna dance - Pakistani/Indian style.
MOMIAS (MUMMIES)
Watchable. This Spanish animated flick is a run-of-the-mill tale of a girl - here: a mummy of an Egyptian princess - who wants to become a singer. Another character has a pet croc that acts like a dog. At least London looks quite fun, e.g. they do exclusive shopping at Parrots. In the Polish dubbing some songs are English, most Polish. The post-credit cover of "Walk Like an Egyptian" is fun.
