Movies,

Woman in Black is based on the long running West End play, sorry, can't remember who wrote it, and is Definitely a ghost story. - Not a blood and gore horror film, it's quiet and dark, and, in my quaking mind, WAY scarier!

- it has Daniel Radcliffe in it. His reviews were mixed, but I think that's just coz the reviewers couldn't get Harry Potter out of their heads. Not his fault. I thought he was good. His performance was quiet and understated, in keeping with the production.

One of my favourite sci-Fi films is Serenity. - You'll get more out of it if you watch the 12 part series Firefly first.

Glad I'm not the only person who really enjoyed woman in black. Keeps you on your toes, especially when you get so scared you need to change your undies :lol:
 

So you do ha ha ha
Well RRB it's a very jumpy film one of them where your waiting for something to happen lol
Sure it will be on the tv soon as we watched it last year at the flicks
Enjoy

Thought Daniel was superb in Woman in Black, remember watching the original film in the 80's but wasn't as scared as I was watching the remake, funny enough my kids wouldn't watch it because it had Daniel in it ....remembering him as Harry Potter when they were little

Daniel also played Rudyard Kipling son in a WW2 drama called My Boy Jack around 2 tears ago, it was one of the best pieces of acting I'd seen and well worth watching!
 
 

Yep. I watched it and loved it. Tom bulks up for some of his movies as does Christian Slater who I am also very partial to. Skinny one minute,bulked up the next.... And I am also very partial to a tatton the right body of course.

I came on to say that The Green Mile is on tonight. 10.10 on ITV 4. Do I need to watch it? No. Am I gonna watch it? Definitely....

There is something very comforting about re-watching favourite films isn't there. You know,something that you don't have to concentrate too much on.

( Actually ... The nasty guard in The Green Mile... You know the one who steps on the mouse and the big prisoner brings it back to life? )
WELL... He is the 50 odd year old husband who married the very Barbie looking girl ( who was 16 when they married) who was recently on Big Brother. You know the one... With the titties and the hair extensions who was SO entertaining...

Nobody else watched it then? Oh well....

Calling all movie buffs!!!

Doing a series of children's concerts next week.

I need a tune, preferably a horn tune, from a recent film that kids between 7 and 11 will recognise for when we introduce the different instruments.

Last year I did Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter the year before, Star Wars, pirates of the Caribbean etc. in previous years.

Best idea so far for this year is the opening of the new Star Trek film. Not much fun to play, but the best I've got so far.

- Any ideas????

I love an old black and white Jean Cocteau film La Belle et La Bete (Beauty and the Beast) some of the scenes are quite surreal - such as the candle holders on the walls of the castle are arms coming through the walls.

I"ve lost count of the number of times I've watched 2001 A Space Oddessey, Where Eagles Dare, Rebecca (Larry O) and Wuthering Heights (Orson Wells). My other film passion is Guillermo del Torro films, especially the foreign language ones, Pans Labyrinth, Cronos, Julia"s Eyes, The Orphanage, and a Almodavar film called the Skin I Live In with Antonio Banderas as a plastic surgeon who takes his revenge on the guy who raped his young daughter.

If any of you can get out to the cinema, on October 31st there is an "encore" showing of the National Theatre production of Frankenstein produced by Danny Boyle with Benedict Cumberbatch as th monster and Johnny Lee Miller as the Doctor. Although I've seen it before it was an awesome production and well worth seeing again. There's another showing in November with the monster/Doctor roles reversed. It's on in most of the big chains (Odeon/Vue/Cineworld). I would love it on dvd but according to the NT website, the actors don't want it released that way.

PS If Benedict Cumberbatch was named Quentin, would he now be known as Q Cumberpatch (sorry)
 
Came home from work feeling a bit narked, for some not very important reason.

Watched Quartet three times in a row. The nark is now a background nark.

That's a lovely film. - Don't know if it's a musician thing but I just love it.

This is a favourite film of mine about the life of Edith Piaff.

In French with English subtitles.

Oscar-winning biopic of French singer Edith Piaf, with Marion Cotillard and Gerard Depardieu. Piaf escaped life in a Normandy brothel to become one of France's biggest stars. (R)

Award-winning biopic of French chanteuse and diva Edith Piaf, whose tumultuous life started in abject poverty on the streets of Paris and ended amongst the trials and tragedy of stardom.

Available on the I Player until 21st October.
 
My fav movie from 2012 Untouchable is well worth shout. I haven't laughed like that in years.
