The EXCELLENT exotic marigold hotel

<<< That was the awkward bit of the film where your the only one laughing, even the still is funny !

I was the only one in the cinema under the age of 49 (and awake the whole way through) i swear i could hear snoring behind me..... not that the film was boring, it was actually pure brilliance not in a "Saving private ryan" kinda way but more like "love actually".

There was some annoying woman sitting next to me who kept spoiling the film, for example "He's gonna die , i can tell he's gonna die...yeah deffinatley about to die...yeah he's dead , knew that was gonna happen" ..."WE F***** DIDNT" luckily i was eating popcorn and not minstrels because they could of caused serious damage to her face.

Each time i got to the cinema i always end up sitting next to this teacher from our school, i always butcher his name "Mr lycett lycese lycicle" lets just call him "cool moustache teacher"...
I thought Maggie Smith was brilliant (she reminded me of Ria) although she didn't have the same mysterious walk as Ria because she was in a wheel chair (i only wrote this because i know Ria's reading along as i type) ..
Anyway i like sleep so thats why i didn't go see Woman in Black with Ria ...but this film is recommended (and my mum said Bill Nighy is good looking in it) so BONUS !!

The Woman in Black

   So I took my Mum out for an early Birthday treat to see 'The Woman in Black".Having already seen the stage version which left me forgetting how to talk at a normal frequency after the amount of screaming and screeching I   underwent, I believed that the film would not live up to the 'scariness' of the play.
 

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh"

   "Was it scary?" "It wasn't scary it was more sort of jumpy..." Get Out! If you weren't scared by this film then you are probably an android from the planet Zog.
   But I must admit, what made me scream the most was the ticket prices at the Vue. (It's flipping extortionate.)
   And it has been speculated that Dan Rad can still not break free from the stereotype of the Harry Potter franchise. I chose the picture to the left because the woman in the window has a striking resemblance to Lord Voldermort. If they had changed the scream to a "Nyeeeeeeeeeeh" I would have been convinced.
   To be honest, it SHOULD NOT have been rated a 12A-there were young children coughing up blood! (In the film I mean, not the audience.)
   The ending was good and different to the play. Mum didn't seem to understand what happened, she didn't even seem phased by it all but she enjoyed it nonetheless.
   Go see it if you haven't already.It's really well made. I suppose this is a kind of review thing Ellen was on about in the previous blog but I'd have wrote this anyway! I'm anticipating something by her on that Hotel thing for OAPs in the near future.
