Book Club...again

I'm going to get the Book Club on DVD when it comes out, possibly August. I know I have mentioned it before and that it is based loosely on Fifty Shades of Grey, which I haven't read and doubt that I will ever read it. I suppose watching the DVD covers all the possibilities available. It does of course have a very good female cast.

Jane McDonald

There are lot of things I like about Jane McDonald, particularly her Yorkshire accent (she's from Wakefield). She has an endearing personality and I really like her voice. I suppose her musical style is very 'middle ofthe road', but there is something quite soothing and about her voice (vocal range) and her choice of song often allows her to express those qualities...

Mamma Mia...

Next week, Mamma Mia: Here we go again, will be out. I really would like to see this...probably because I do like musicals; or at least different music styles ('genres'); and I've always liked many of the songs of Abba. The first film was so successful, that there was always going to be a sequel and there was always going to be that massive 'feel good' factor to tap into. Of course it's not to every one's taste...

Mission Impossible

My film of the week is Mission Impossible: Fallout, though it doesn't come out in the cinema until 28 July. I'm really excited about the prospect of seeing this sixth instalment in the series. They  obviously can't kill off the established cast...yet, maybe they need to ?

The Phantom Thread

Just to say I didn't get to the shops, but I will this Friday to get The Phantom Thread: £12.99, though that seems expensive. Maybe I should wait? However, this Paul Thomas Anderson directed film, really does seem worth seeing. Other films of his include, Boogie Nights, There Will be Blood, The Master. Though highly regarded, he is not the most commercially successful of directors, but....

Oh yes...Red Sparrow is available, on DVD,        on 8-7-2018!

Out next week

I'm going to get The Black Panther on DVD on Friday. Having heard so many good things about the film, I am really excited about the opportunity to see it for the first time.

Out in the cinema next week is oceans 8, which is a twist on the original trilogy, though whether there really is another story that needs to be told, I don't know...Still it has an impressive female cast.

book club

In the cinema at the moment is the Book Club. It looks interesting, but I have very little interest in the books that it is based upon. I'm not sure what  I find so interesting... and agree that it is a shameless piece of promotion for EL James, but I might get it on DVD. Maybe I should see the Shade films...hmm. On reflection it seems like a lot of nonsense aimed at a particular age group. Perhaps its just a cynical piece of marketing after all...
