Wife was away this weekend, so I took the opportunity to watch a few movies she wouldn't have liked.

First one out was The zone of interest, which I found very disturbing, but also very good. The constant background noise from the concentration camp combined with the depiction of everyday events from the Auswich boss' family life was a brilliant piece of moviemaking. At times I felt physically unwell. That contrast absolutely made the movie. Also some obvious parallells to current events, which felt kinda scary.

Second was The Substance, a completely different movie, but enjoyable. Great satire and great acting, I think. A very creative spin on how society views aging in women. Plot was a bit shaky and illogical at times, even considering the peculiar starting premise, but it wasn't too annoying. Loved the references to the old horror movies; The shining, Carrie, The fly and The thing, to name a couple.

Well today I went again to the Monday Matinee at our local theatre. I’m sure the sound system is nothing like at a “proper” cinema or compared to a decent home set-up, but it suits me. £6.95 which includes a tea or coffee (but sadly not 2 glasses of wine). It is a bit like being at a small OAP convention though. 😀

Today’s film was The Penguin Lessons. Lovely film based on a true story. A bit twee/sentimental but there are worse ways to pass a couple of hours on a Monday afternoon.

Tea goes much better with a movie than alcohol.
