We used to go to the cinema every week, then started having kids and babysitters were too expensive for such frivolity. Now the oldest is of an age where he can babysit for nothing, we are just beginning to consider it an option again. However, now we are older, more tired in the evenings, and embroiled in SH, we feel less inclined to go out and tend to stay in on our pc's with a nice glass of wine.
I am determined to make it a priority to go out maybe once a month though. I spend the whole day here Mon - Fri and most of the weekends and I'm going stir-crazy. Any recommendations for what to go and see will be greatly appreciated.
cinema?
well... a fewtimes more recently...I used to go a lot back in the nineties.
as part of a group from work in and around the west end.
"Jimbo and the Jet Set" nights, they were called, there's a story there...but errrm...
They were 'art-house'/'stupid' film nights...
some wonderfull films taken in... and the ultimate of course from director of LotR;
we were a classy bunch!
Wildfire's Cine-Club sounds brilliant.
A regular film-goers Social might be fun

ooo yes! daywatch/Nightwatch! Brilliant.
I first saw part of Nightwatch on the tele... subtitled, but even the subtitles themselves were treated in a really creative manner.. very much becoming a part of the presentation rather than a simple aid to the non russian watcher (see what I did there?..watcher? nemmind)
anyhow, went and got myself the dvd's, and was a little disapointed, the subtitles were standard... all the same though, brilliant films

All to soon I should think Meaty... same as films such as the Japanese 'Ring' and 'Grudge' films..Pah!
no ring comments please

Anyone seen 'Rubber Johnnie' by Chris Cunningham?

I only tend to get to the flicks for kids films.... £1 a head on Saturday morning. :thumbup: When my daughter gets too old I'll have to borrow someone else's kid! :grin:
It was Film Night last night, we were treated to Kite Runner, which although only half of the cast is Afghan and the Director (Marc Foster) German/Swiss it has such an Afghan flavour I am inclined to call it an Afghani film. It is brilliant, worth getting out on DVD, or buying even (I shall be). Highly recommended.
Just got back from a late night showing of The Wrestler. Top film! Mickey Rourke is excellent as a washed up wrestler struggling with health issues, love and his on-off relationship with his daughter.
Can see why he's been nominated for an Oscar for the role and he deserves it. Heart rendering in places
Thumbs up
:thumbup:
i havent been to the cinema for years, main reason is hubby hates them, we have never been to see a film together at the flicks and doubt we ever will, and dont fancy being a "billy no mates" and going on my own lol

City of the Lost Children
or
Delicatesen?
lp

) As a teenager at the time, I vaguely remember seeing bits of their attacks in the news and of course the 1972 Olympics so I was interested to know more about it.
. Once a year we have a vote on which was the best film of the year and send the director a replica Oscar as a prize. Last year Shane Meadows's Dead Mans Shoes won, brilliant film!
