Re: good movies
Watched a film last night called 'Somewhere' by Sofia Coppola very similar in style to 'Lost in Translation'. I had seen it before but had forgotten it.
It was on Dubai 1 or one of those shit channels so was fairly heavily cut, but well worth a look if you catch on another channel.
It is very slow paced but I liked it a lot.

Re: good movies
I owe you all an apology - when something great is due to appear on local TV, I try to alert everyone........... but I dismally failed to let you know of a very rare showing on OSN Movies Comedy yesterday morning of Raising Arizona, an early Coen brothers classic. Genuine laugh-out-loud funny stuff, for those who haven't seen it.
I will punish myself in suitable fashion.

Prisoners is a very good film. Also just watched The Worlds End. Loved it.

Watched The Heat last night. Buddy movie with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. Really rather entertaining and I predict a sequel.

Re: good movies
Not sure if it really counts as a movie (it was made as one), but watched--mesmorised--most of the Stones' Sweet Summer Sun, their recent Hyde Park gig. Outstanding.

Re: good movies
Curious........... went to see the latest Robert de Niro 'comedy', locally known as Malavita but released everywhere else as The Family. Strange film - very funny in parts (Mafia family hiding out in a sleepy French village, resorting to their 'usual' methods when things go wrong) but sluggish and ponderous in others. 6/10.
Michelle Pfeiffer still looks good though...........
