The Railway Man - Not a barrel of laughs and I can't see it being a hit in Japan either. Highlite for me was a beautifully played understated performance by Nicole Kidman. She recognised she was a supporting player and didn't steal any scenes Started watching 'Wuthering Heights' the 2011 version but stopped about half way through, all that rolling about in the mud is a long way from Merle Oberon and anyway I can get the full mud experience on a good winter fell race

I saw 'The Imitation Game' tonight and enjoyed it very much. I was just expecting the sameold on the story but they mixed a bit of humour in and kept just enough info on the machine in without confusing everyone. Benedict Cumberbatch was very good. A couple of hours slipped by

Tonight's home movie presentation is... well, see if you can guess from this bit of dialogue:

"He's dead?"

"Not any more!"

(clue: not a zombie movie)

Graham, any word on the Mike Leigh Turner project? I might be tempted out to see it

Excellent!

I heard one leaving couple complain that it was too long. Well it lasts 2 1/2 hours and that doesn't seem too long to me to cover decades of, shall we say, the greatest British painter?

Spall is just Spall. Fortunately Turner was probably as curmudgeonly as Spall acts.

It is an amusing film and not at all worthy or turgid.*****

Thanks. Turner, Leigh, Spall; what's not to like eh?

I was boring someone recently about Rothko bequeathing the nine Seagram works to the Tate due in part to their Turner collection. ‘This man Turner, he learnt a lot from me’

The sightseers. Darkest of black comedies but just horribly, hilariously close-to-the-bone funny, and very English humour. Some lovely shots of the Lakes as well.

Yes its very good and it confirmed my suspicions about people who pull caravans

Watched 'The Angry Silence' followed by 'I'm all right Jack' tonight. Probably the right order to view them, in retrospect, although 'I'm all right Jack' was released before 'The Angry Silence' even though it satirises it in effect. Peter Sellar's role as Fred Kite is brilliantly funny and satirises Bernard Lee's role in The Angry Silence. Two great British films of the era
