Viewing Notes
From the quickpicks shelf at my library: Pirate Radio (2009). Missed last year and reasonably decent film but not very memorable. The Boat That Rocked (as I prefer to call it) does sport quite a great cast with some fine moments but that absurd depiction of their “disaster” in the end was hard to swallow (really? Joking as your ship is sinking in ocean?). But, damn, do I ever love Bill Nighy.
