Today's Movie

[Graham Breeze]

You'd never do such a thing Graham.



This may well be true, but I resent the cinema experience enough that it'd probably be lost there too. At least at home I'm better able to envelop myself in the storyline. Rather than muttering darkly about how cinemas (I mean other people) annoy me. Too easily distracted, the story of my life and my school report cards.

Ah!

I recommend Pictureville at the National Media Museum (in Bradford). Tickets are from £6.50 (it depends on the time, etc). The projection and sound is immaculate and you can observe the projection room as you enter the auditorium through its glass walls (there are no intervening prisms and loss of image as in multiplexes), it does not sell popcorn or hot dogs but it does have a film bookshop and I once entered to find only one (1) other person present for the film, although the audience later swelled to a total of three.

It is certainly better than Sky Movies.

Splendid insight. And posted under your own moniker too

They also do senior screenings with free tea and coffee on Thursdays, for those V60s and over. My parents have seen quite a few films recently.

Watched Out Of a The Furnace last night. An excellent film.

Wolf of Wall Street.

Its like a glossy brochure for capitalism! I wonder is there a night course in stockbroking in the local school...

Anchorman 2. Funny but lost interest towards end.

Graham did you watch 'Barbara' on BBC4?

Potiche (Trophy Wife) 2010.
The always watchable Catherine Deneuve combined with the not so watchable in this case Gerard Depardieu who is trying
to outdo Marlon Brando in 'Apocalypse now' as the most heaviest actor on a film set. When he tries to dance with
Catherine Deneuve, he can only do it sideways as his gut is in his way for any face to face stuff.
It is a comedy so maybe the director used his size to good effect

No.

And now for some reason I feel that I should have!

Blue Jasmine - Enjoyed it.
It uses a 'Streetcar named Desire' as the main skeleton of the plot line. It has a couple of escapees from HBOs 'Boardwalk Empire' (the 'Kowalski' character and the dentist) but it took me a couple of minutes to clock Sally Hawkins an excellent British Actress (Made in Dagenham/ Happy-Go-Lucky)playing Ginger. I can see why Cate Blanchett got the oscar but there was some excellent support for her.
