Catching up on some other stuff Ive done as I'm still not regularly posting on here. Last night at BFI, on a whim, went to see Notes on a scandal. What a film. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Evil Judi Dench! Fabulous.

Very disturbing & fortunately had a friend around to chat about it after

A wonderful day at Windsor races celebrating the return of Jumping here after near 20 years. A lovely huge Yorkshire Pudding stuffed Xmas Dinner, a party atmosphere & some very good racing!

Heard its great. Its a friends film of the year. I'm seeing it next week.

I've seen 32 and 6 are on my list of films of the year, but 2 are on my list of worst films of the year! How crazy is that?

Hope it goes OK and hope to see you at the BFI drinks Saturday x

Very tempted!

Only 17. I have to hunt down some of these I haven't seen.

Know what you mean. Not too much out this month. But I'll see you Saturday?

Wasn't it marvellous! Time flew by.

My friend Eleanor got in right at the last moment (she's the one with the blue hair! She was so happy!

No cinema until Xmas?

Conclave is phenomenal but know what you mean. Even I'm struggling! No intention to see Moana 2, but seeing a BFI preview of The Brutalist today & have All we Imagine is light, a preview of the new Emmanuelle and La Cocina later this week. I think Rumors & On becoming a Guinea Fowl are out Friday.

I've kept New Year's day free to see it.

Dinner in America @princecharlescinema.com is the absolute Tits!

Cant believe how much I loved this strange love story. Found out it was another lost Covid film which I'd probably why I hadn't heard of it until recently.

So great.

I'll be there!

If there's one film that's a shoe in for all the technical Oscars next year, it's Wicked (Pt 1). It's utterly spectacular.

As for the film itself, you need to go in knowing its a full blown musical & there isn't much spoken dialogue, but i did enjoy it more than I thought.

Think I've just seen the film of @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social Birdeater is just my type of film. Uncomfortable, dark Aussie Comedy. Loved it.

It's gonna get a release next year, fortunately.

Covid isolation horror. It really gets me everytime & Aussie film In the room where he waits @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social is the best of its type. All the fears of isolation, loneliness, confinement & claustrophobia are ranked up to the n'th degree by a 1 man tour de force by Daniel Monks.

Just had the most brutal but brilliant 5 hours during this years @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social

Strange Harvest & Sayara were fabulous!

Had some great events this week but saved the best till last.

It's @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social time!

Happy festival everyone & hope to see some of you all later!

See you later!

Another great event from The London Action at BFI with their screening of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Recorded clips from Bruce Spence, Vernon Wells & George Miller himself. Plus a Max music rendition & a singalong of We Don't need another hero. What more can you ask for?

In 24 hours time, the doors to Soho Horror Fest will be open!!

22/11/24 16:30 see you there spookers

Such a fun night yesterday @princecharlescinema.com as The Front row gang valiantly attempted to win the Quiz, but in the end we ended up 6th out of 80 teams (yes it was sold out!) after being joint 2nd at half time. Only prizes up to 3rd, so close but no cigar!

And don't forget it's part 1!

Film of the year My favourite film of each year of my life from 1966 to present day

Someone asked me could I create a list of your favourite film from each year of your life. The answer is, it's tough as you haven't seen everything.

But anyway, I did it last night from what I've seen. Can you do the same?
