Was going to see 'Ain't These Bodies Saints' yesterday but spent most of it in bed with (likely) food poisoning. My last chance to see it is tomorrow, but it's a late screening which makes it difficult for me and, more importantly, my pussies. I'll have to ask them if they'll mind.<br />Otherwise I've not yet seen 'The Way Way Back' and 'About Time', neither of which I really fancy, especially since the latter is supposed to be awash with sentiment. Also missed a chance at seeing 'Lovelace' though I don't think that was such a big loss. <br />I've got 'Upstream Colours' pencilled in for early Oct. whicb is supposed to be pretty good.<br />So that's all what I have NOT seen. Hope it won't be more than a day or two before a review of something which I have.<br />(But I'm mighty chuffed that you've noticed my absence).Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-90056312609815080932013-09-10T15:11:56.820-07:002013-09-10T15:11:56.820-07:00Come on ray.....

Sounds like you wouldn't even have given it even that muted 'praise', which is fair enough.<br /><br />'Any Day Now' has had some good reviews and I would like to see it, but I'll only get the chance if it comes to one of the local 'Art House' cinemas, which it could well do. I don't watch films on TV nor rent them to watch, one reason being that my ancient computer can't cope with such a knotty thing as vision/sound synchronisation, which drives me up the wall. But if I get the chance, see it I shall, even moreso now because of your recommendation.

My reviews are done within a few hours of seeing any film, often within minutes of returning home, so they are very much gut reactions. Maybe on reflection I do feel a little kindlier towards it now, but only a little.<br />The 'son', I think, might go far, if only because he has quite unusual looks, which might be an asset in the film business, though that can also carry the danger of type-casting. <br />Thanks again.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-74093247763615515402013-09-02T13:16:41.294-07:002013-09-02T13:16:41.294-07:00I love comedy movies.

(I've not seen the actual programme.) Thanks for the White Van man link.
