Didn't think it would live up to the original. It did, Jeff Bridges was great in the part. Enjoyed it.

Missed the first one but watched the second one twice. I wasn't sure what I was expecting and needed to see it again. Very, very clever indeed.

Watched My Dinner with Andre over the weekend.

Really, really shouldn't work. Two theatre types talking about life, reality, self-discovery. It's a near-two hour film, and most of that consists of Andre And Wally eating dinner in a swanky New York restaurant. I completely expected it to disappear up its own arse at one point.

It never did, though. It's so, so good.

That's a great shame. I thought the book was a truly inspired piece of writing, a story terrificaly told.

First was odd, but I liked, mainly coz Tim Key is ace. Second tonight.

It was quite excellent. The young girl's performance was astonishing. Both her acting and the writing & direction.

Well worth seeing.

Re Inside No 9 - The second is literally the best thing you see on your telly all year! Its mesmerising.

Re The Book Thief. I haven’t read the book, which tbh im glad about having seen the film. Im sure any fans of the book will dislike it too. But as a film It’s just got too many annoyances in it that i couldn’t get over. English language for one, English with a ridiculous German twang from the elder leads, English but with token ‘Nein’s’ and ‘Auf Wiedersehen’s’ to remind us thicko’s they’re meant to be German. I hate that. its irritatingly clichéd too, It also lacks any menace, any of the horror you’d expect from Nazi Germany, nobody suffers. Then the silly smug narration by ‘death’ just irradiates any remaining credibility.

Watched "Sound City" on BBC4 catch up, what a fantastic film/documentary. Thoroughly recommend it as its riviting to see the place where some of the best ever albums where recorded and the history behind the studio, plus its done by Dave Grohl, who in my eyes can do no wrong :oyea: :oyea: :oyea:
