Marley
#1
This is the long awaited doc on Bob Marley, originally an undertaking of Scorsese, then Demme, then finally completed by Kevin McDonald (Last King of Scotland). It opens in limited release on 4/20. It's very good, albeit a little longwinded, but contains several choice tidbits of rare footage (Marley and Stevie Wonder!) and some great interviews. It has a sense of humor that is very rasta. Marley's life was inspirational, so if you don't know his story, this is a fine doc. It covers all the high points, and also the dark side - his illness, his womanizing, perspectives on him from his kids Ziggy and Cedella, and so on. Nine Mile, Trenchtown, 56 Hope Rd., all places I've been to for rasta pilgrimages, are captured well. There's a chance I'll get an interview with Ziggy for this next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Now I just got to make that tie to kung fu. :roll:
