Pirate Radio ***1/2

'Pirate Radio' stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as supporting cast. There are also many other recognizable faces in there.

I wasn't very excited about this movie, but I was kind of excited about the story. I had no idea that the English had to pirate rock and roll music from off-shore ships until 1967!!!

Most of the movie portrays the everyday life of these guys who live on the ship. It's a little uneventful and wasn't the easiest for me to pay attention to. However, toward the end of the movie, the plot thickens and you learn of the heroic end of pirate radio.

I think you should watch this if for no other reason but to appreciate freedom and rock and roll!! It's an important story to be remembered!

As for the kids, they'll be bored, but you probably wouldn't want them to know about the boat loads of women who come to visit!
