Films

We’re off to watch ODEON Screen Unseen tonight (where you don’t know which film you’ll be watching until it starts). We were very lucky with the last one, which was A Simple Favour, so fingers crossed for a good one tonight. All that’s promised is that it won’t be a horror film, won’t be one of the big blockbusters (so it won’t be the new Fantastic Beasts film) but will be a film which they believe will be a future classic and won't have been released for general distribution yet. 

It’s been a good week for films. Last Thursday we went to see Bohemian Rhapsody which was absolutely brilliant ... take tissues if you get emotional when you watch films. I've always liked Queen's music but wasn't an avid fan of the group so only knew a bit of the story and this film filled in some of the gaps. Next time I go to the library I'll look out for a biography of Freddie Mercury, if such a thing exists.

Yesterday I watch War Horse, another emotional film although strangely it didn't affect me as much as the stage show did. It's worth watching if you haven't seen it before and again, have plenty of tissues handy. Some of it was filmed in this area and for once I could place the location - usually I don't! 

When this was finished I made myself a snack and then settled down to watch Hugo. I first watched this a few years ago and enjoyed it just as much the second time. It does get a bit emotional at the end but I think I was a bit cried out from War Horse, so no actual tears were shed this time!

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released on November 16th so Julie and Lauren are taking me to watch it as a birthday treat. This is assuming we can find a date we can all make, something which is proving impossible at present!
