I watched 'Her' great.
I'd say the only thing original about it was the lack of dialog which definitely made it unique. But there's a lot of lost at sea films that have already been done and it just wasn't quite unique enough to really stand out from the rest. Loved the score though.

Her is magnificent. Joaquin Phoenix excellent as usual. That and Wolf are my two favourites released recently, and they're better than virtually all films I've seen in the last few years.
Tried copping off with Siri after watching it...

I'm going to the picture house to see a play. Filmed live and shown at the flics as though watching a play.

I have no idea how it will work, but worth a go.

It's Noel Coward's 'Private Lives' starring Anna Chancellor and Toby Stephens.

I presume that's an NT Live event?

If it's like those I've seen it will be excellent. It's starting to become an interesting hybrid - live cinema of major theatrical and operatic events. Never as good as the real thing, but still an excellent chance to see and - almost - be there - events that otherwise would be limited pretty much to London, New York, Stratford.

Don't think so ... it says it's an 'Old Vic production', and refers to the 'West End Theatre Series' on the flier.

That's my thought ... I'm unlikely to see the live version anytime soon, so let's see what this offers.

Ah, sounds like WE commercial managements also getting in on the act... There must be money in it! Hope it's good! Enjoy!

It looks interesting. The poster looks better than him leaning casually against something for some romcom. Seen the first 2 episodes of True Detective, he's very good.
Started watching The Following Season2 as well, quite preposterous but I'll probably ignore the bad writing because Bacon and his sidekick are so good. James Purefoy is shite as the villain.

Well, it's a very good play, of it's sort. Well directed, kept just the right side of being a farce. Good speed ... maybe a bit too much. Great performances from all 5 actors.

However, & I'm unsure what I expected, it was a slightly odd experience. I think I anticipated one camera, one scale, one angle .. as if in a theatre. In fact there were 6 camera's, lots of close ups, different height levels.

So it wasn't at all like being at a theatre. Maybe what I expected wouldn't work ... Mrs Bobo tells me such. However close ups of stage acting ... which demands 'bigger' performance than TV or cinema, generally ... close ups of faces with stage make up is rather odd. Also, they captured the audience sound from the day it was filmed and that seemed odd.

Overall a very well done play, glad I saw something I'd otherwise miss, but slightly odd.

I'm going to watch that. Would you recommend getting to know the music a bit first then watching, as someone suggested somewhere? Or does it not matter?

I don't think it matters really. Having an understanding of the folk revival period in the 60's possibly helps put a few things into context, especially the ending. This film is set in 61 just before that whole scene really kicked off and there are a few nods to things that we the audience know will happen in the immediate future.

But similarly the film wouldn't massively suffer without that appreciation.

If you want something fun to watch at the cinema, I would really recommend Lego Movie. Seriously.
