Cineworld going under, these large chains look to be going under. No real shock, the rise of duel release, short release windows in cinemas and streaming.
 
I got round to seeing enter the Spider-verse today. I was an absolute fudging treat, 2 hours plus flew by so quickly I was kind of surprised when it finished, it seemed like an abrupt ending but sets it up to make a trilogy up there with the best in terms of comic book characters.

The animation / art aspects of it were class much like the first one but it was also just a lot of fun with some genuine laugh out loud moments.

Only shame was the speakers to the right of the screen weren't working which made the whole thing feel a bit wonky / off kilter.

Curzon and Light are expanding/opening new sites though, so the more boutique end of the market is doing well.

To be honest new release films in general have been crap for the past 2-3 years. They've not really hit a groove yet again since Covid - most things are just cheap and/or lazy.

Local Hero on Film4

One of my all time favourites, mix of great actors, some really poinent scenes and a real feeling of joy and sadness mixed as one.

My parents favourite film. I grew up listening to the soundtrack whenever we would go on holiday as a family. I still enjoy it to this day. It has a magical quality that brings an abundance of memories and nostalgia with it.

And so I’m with you on this. A great movie and one that I could watch again at any time.

It might have been where you saw it, but they have had problems with the mix - drop outs, dialogue too low - that lead to them remix the film and redeliver it. It’s not the first time that sound team has not done their job properly.

Went to see it a couple of weeks back and the person sat a few seats away from me who was on her own asked me after about 2 mins if the entire film was animated, obviously not done any research.

I enjoyed both of the Miles Morales Spidey films. Wouldn’t put them higher than No Way Home, Homecoming, Spider-Man 1 or 2. Empire ranked all of the films and into the spider verse was number 1. Definitely better than Spider-Man 3 and the Andrew Garfield movies but not above the ones I mentioned IMO. I had no trouble with the sound when I saw it. If anything it was too bloody loud!

Yeh I was going to say the boutiques are still doing well but generally are more layered and offer something different. I generally love the retro showings more than the modern ones. Its why I keep my BFI membership as they are brilliant for that
 
Saw Indiana Jones last night. Was 20 mins too long but overall I enjoyed it. The CGI that made Ford look younger was a bit hit and miss, excellent in places but not so good at other times.

Also watched Confess Fletch on Sky. Entertaining and funny film.
