We have an local arty cinema which plays all the old classics. Last month they played most of Kubrick’s work. I have a real issue with the more contemporary cinemas, because they’re always so fucking loud.

Based on the drowning of woman in the car of Teddy Kennedy which he was driving into a lake. The cover up that ensues and people involved is really well portrayed.
Jason Clarke plays the roll of Kennedy superbly and shows him to be a shallow and callous individual but who is forever in the shadow of his brothers.
Its a good script and support actors are all strong through out. 9/10
So I saw 2001 in the cinema, it’s 75mm original format, and it was simply the best thing I’ve ever seen; absolutely incredible. However, the peak was after the film when my wife confessed that having only ever seen the first ten minutes before, she thought the entire film was going to be about apes. And yet bizarrely she knew it was a sci-fi.
Also just switched off The Killing of a Sacred Deer half-way through. I was really enjoying until about halfway and then my enthusiasm for the film just vanished.
The Prince of Wales cinema in Soho is showing Dog Day Afternoon next week. Should I do a cheeky visit?
Just seen the trailer for its photochemical recreation after seeing your post. Utterly blown away by the resulting visual print.
I know 2001 already looked exceptionally ahead of its time on every level. But the fact that this movie was being filmed 52 years ago… God damn the end product is astounding.
Antman & the wasp 7/10
The tech in these marvel films when they de age douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer is amazing it’s like they just been pulled out off the 80s.
