Went down to Somerset for granddaughters seventh birthday, we planned on doing something with her and her (11yo) sister on Saturday afternoon … cue dismal weather! Little Lily’s choice was to go see Frozen 2!! Bryony the 11yo has been posting a few pics of cars on her instagram of late so when I spotted Le Mans 66 on the posters, I asked her if she wanted to see Frozen or that <points to poster> ….. the look on her face said everything! Result! She loved it, I loved it, Tracey and Lily loved Frozen. Bryony is now looking forward to visiting Haynes Motor Museum with her dad soon!
Just back from watching Knives Out. Very enjoyable. Star-studded Jonathan Creek style who dunnit. Very cleverly written, great showing from Daniel Craig in particular. Well worth a watch
That takes the spoiler trailer to new heights of ridiculousness. They’ve let us watch probably all the best stunts, the best bond-tech surprises, pretty much lays out the entire plot (yes, I know Bond movies pretty much all have the same plot).
It looks good fun, but I’d advise anyone wanting to watch it to avoid the trailer like the plague.
Recently watched Portrait Of A Lady On Fire which was excellent. Managed to get 3 months free on Mubi last month (currently 7 days) and have to say the curated selection of films they have had has been fantastic!
I just thought it was like someone’s 6th form project movie. All the affectations – like the scratches on the negative, just so pretentious. A very unfulfilling experience.
Just watched The Old Guard. Based on a comic, a different take on immortality. Loads of impressive fight scenes, think Matrix choreography rather than Michael Bay style nonsense. Highly recommended.
