But it was a good 'filler-in' of details of stuff one knows only a little about, though I suspect that you'd have been more knowledgeable on the characters than I was.<br />I didn't know of Hall at all though maybe avid TV watchers here would have recognised him. I'll certainly perk up next time he graces our cinema screens.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-51038427540564045232014-01-01T15:28:15.714-08:002014-01-01T15:28:15.714-08:00I think I liked this movie more than you did but 7...I think I liked this movie more than you did but 7/10 is certainly a respectable showing.<br /><br />Cat incident notwithstanding, I loved Michael C Hall in this movie. He is known (at least here) from roles in two very interesting television series. I hope this indicates we'll see him more often on the big screen.

For most people the incident in this film will just be brushed aside and forgotten. Not so for the likes of us. I have to confess that for me it did colour all that followed in the film - and my final verdict as well, which might well have been higher were it not for these upsetting few seconds.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-5537642861858353182013-12-23T16:48:41.263-08:002013-12-23T16:48:41.263-08:00Ray,

I don't know what it is with the current fad in movies to put small animals in danger or death (like throwing a yappy lap dog over a cliff for laughs) but I don't find it one bit entertaining. Apparently some self-absorbed screenwriters devoid of original ideas think that animal cruelty is okay to move a plot line. I don't think so and won't watch any movies that do it. Thanks for the warning.<br /><br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-85058057753199081552013-12-17T11:30:58.847-08:002013-12-17T11:30:58.847-08:00I think it's much more likely to be showing in...I think it's much more likely to be showing in art-house cinemas, Sol. If you happen to be going anywhere near Exeter, where I know there is one, you just may be able to catch it there. <br />I hope you do manage to see it as I'd be surprised if your expectations aren't largely fulfilled.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-67653494174389604722013-12-17T10:23:29.661-08:002013-12-17T10:23:29.661-08:00ohhh, I hope this is in the cinema next week in De...ohhh, I hope this is in the cinema next week in Devon.
