Saw James Hunter at BB King's Saturday night. This is the fourth (?) time I've seen him and Hunter is always fun. This still wasn't the ideal concert. I want a smaller club, a cooler audience and I want to stand close (I was against the bar in the back). But he really is a terrific showman. Also this weekend saw "Curse of the Golden Flower" (a very disappointing spectacle; you'd be much better off renting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), "Little Children" (which I was nonplussed by and which my friend convincingly hated -- by convincingly, I mean his dissection of it was on-target); and "Pan's Labyrinth," which held up for me very well and will definitely make my best of the year list." It's very grim, I should say, and not for kids.
