Thoroughly enjoyed King Richard, well worth seeing
Watched Kodachrome on netflix. Enjoyable 'road' movie about a dying father wanting to make a last journey with his estranged son, to have some film developed at the last working developers in the US, before he dies and it closes for good. Stars Ed Harris and Jason Sudeikis
I watched Sardar Udham last weekend and really enjoyed it. Not easy watching though. :sad: had been waiting for it since reading Patient Assassin.
I went to the cinema, on Tuesday, to see The Duke. It's based on a true story and stars Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren. While I was there, my sister and brother-in-law turned up to watch the same film. We all thought it was very good and funny, in parts. I know they had to cut the story down, as, in a recent interview, Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren claimed the real Kempton Bunton had kept the painting of the Duke of Wellington hostage for more than six months.
I saw a recorded National Theatre performance of Phillip Pullman's "The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage" at the cinema last night. The way they chose to represent the daemons took a bit of getting used to but it was very well done.
Just seen the remake of West Side Story. Think it was even better than the first. Thought Maria was spitting image of Emma Raducanu though. And once I'd thought that, I couldn't unthink it. :shrug:
And Tony had a slight Zverev look about him (nicer personality though!). If you like this sort of thing, i think you will enjoy it
Saw this over Christmas - really enjoyed it, director did a good job of keeping it 1950s authentic yet also modern in style.
As one of my cinemas was offering tickets at £4 to watch Downton Abbey: A New Era. on Monday, I jumped at the chance to book one as my sister couldn't go. I thought it was very good and funny, in parts, especially when Laura Haddock who plays Myrna Dalgeish in the film suddenly starting speaking in a type of east end London accent. I thought the ending was poignant and did wonder if there would be another one.
I've found out one of my local cinemas will be showing The Lost King (about Phillippa Langley discovering Richard the third) from the 7th October and Emily (about Emily Bronte) from the 14th October. I'm looking forward to seeing them.
I went to the cinema, yesterday, and watched The Lost King. I thought it was quite good, though Sally Hawkins was supposed to have worn a blond wig (Philippa Langley was blonde). It was funny in some parts. I remembered seeing the news clips and then going to Leicester to see Richard the third's coffin and then watching his funeral on the TV. Before Covid turned up, I went to Leicester Cathedral and saw his grave. We were allowed to take photos of it, but without using the flash.
