Hardly unnecessary sex - it was all in the book wasn't it?

I enjoyed the Hollywood remake more than I was expecting to - but then again Daniel Craig may have had something to do with that!


Saw Iron Lady this weekend - subject matter aside - I thought Meryl Streep did a fantastic job.


Didn't enjoy Warhorse as much as the stage version - couldn't believe how many small kids had been taken to see it - lots of images of war and dead horses - surely not good viewing for little uns?


Lastly saw Shame last night - not one to see with your parents or on a first date!

Michael Fassbender was very impressive - in more ways than one!

The Artist - a must see. Within minutes the fact that it's silent and black & white is totally forgotten as you become absorbed in the plot and the characters. It is not a pastiche - it works on many levels and there are many really clever and subtle touches.


Recommended.


Tho' I do find it hilarious that, reportedly, a number of cinema goers are walking out when they discover it is a B&W silent film - and in significantly greater numbers in Liverpool than elsewhere. Does they not read a review before buying a ticket?

warhorse - the poor nag should have been put down about 3 minutes into the film to spare us the truly awful cloying sepia tinted sentimental crap that followed. I would sooner live in liverpool and have a crippling skag habit than have to ensure this shite ever again. It seemed to last as long at the geat war itself.


One day - Anne Hathaway & her curious Daphney from Frasier accent should have been knocked down in the opening sequence to spare us the horror of the following hour and a half of orchestrated emoblub that lurched along, seeminlgly without any kind of end. I wanted to end it all by the 37 minute mark.the final / tacked on the end for American audiences bit made me want to lash out as random passers by on lordship lanje and await the delighful relative treat of a TSG tazering and routine kicking in the cells.


Black Swan - bloody hell. a metaphor too far for me. Portman should hve topped herself at the start to give the audience the chance of an early night at the adventure bar. Actually, an night at the Grove on magners would be a better idea than watching black bloody swan.The urge to shout out " go on, cut yourself, but this time do the fucking wrists" did not impress to cats bum faced victims who were seemingly enjoing it.


The Artist - better than I thought & a worthy film, but worthy of 423 oscars ? Hmmm , just goes to show how bad the competition was in 2011. better than a night at the Bishop, but thats hardly difficult.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but "The Help" is a fantastic, if somewhat heartbreaking film. Only criticism is that the makers couldn't help themselves in giving it that slightly optimistic American gloss. Has some great humour to lighten up the story, without which it would probably make you slit your own wrists.

Saw Hunger Games last night - OK "ish". Only went as in strange town with nothing very much to do. Passed two hours but was strangely univolved - the story didn't ever click. The original book may have been too big and too detailed to compress into a two hour movie.


Wanted to see Wild Bill - but have to wait for that.

Last night we watched "Carnage", a 4 person play based ona play called "Gods of Carnage".


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1692486/


It starts off cringingly uncomfortable, and slides in to, for want of a better word, carnage. I thought it was really funny, and really well acted.


Highly recommended.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      It's nothing to do with being a cheerleader for labour - it's about starting to address some of the problems inherent in the economy. Many many many other essential groups of people have contributed fair share or had industries eliminated before so it's not some attack on Farnmers "If 500 farms sell off 20% of their land each year (the PMs estimate on the back of a Rizla paper)  then how long before we lose large chunks of farm land "?  "As for giving away land, sure providing they live 7 years afterwards " - is that so unlikely? Of the 500  farms in the example, how many would this help? Most I'd say I just haven't seen anything like the same "but what about the nurses/the police/the miners" as I have about the farmers - it's quite extraordinary

      Andrew and Arnold are very good. They have UK based techies and are proactive in managing OpenReach as the copper supplier.

      We're not talking about people who've bought farms. We're talking about people who have inherited multi-million pound estates, having done nothing to earn it. Why should they not have to pay some tax on that.

      If 500 farms sell off 20% of their land each year (the PMs estimate on the back of a Rizla paper)  then how long before we lose large chunks of farm land ?  As for giving away land, sure providing they live 7 years afterwards  Stop being a labour cheerleader and put yourself in farmers wellies for a moment.  Farming is a necessity, doesn't make Massive profits and after you consider the 7 days a week often 14 hour days, I bet most farmers don't even earn minimum wage per hour.  You will soon be whinging if there's no fresh veg on the shelves to go with your non existent turkey at Chrustmas.
