Ever been asked to come up with a movie that hopefully everyone would like, but no one has seen?.
Well a couple of months ago I was asked if I could do just that for a group of travel agents, that go regular to the movies as a social night out.
I have done this kind of mystery thing before a lot, but this group were going to be a challenge. Last night I went through everything I could think of, as to what might please everybody, anyway thinking back to a 35mm film print I once watched at an art house cinema years ago, a Scottish film called "Dear Frankie" around 2003. At the time the film came and went, but never went to the main stream cinemas....mmmm this could be it I thought.
Its unfortunate I don't have a 35mm print "that would be nice" so it was down to video projection and dvd, its not even out on Blu-ray...drat. Anyway over 12 people turned up tonight armed with pizza etc. I did not tell anyone the name of the movie but as the movie started the dialog was in Italian NOOOOOOOOO you idiot.. I thought. I had pressed the wrong "Language" I had never done something so stupid, so had to start all over again.
Anyway the movie turned out to be a huge hit "in English" with everyone, they were over the moon, some even got the tissues out in some parts and to top it of, no one had ever seen it.
Here are a couple of screen shots when I was setting things up the night before. Gerald Butler and Jack McElhone Its a brilliant and touching story with an excellent cast. Good shot looking down to the Clyde...anyway its a good movie and certainly recommend it. Oh! they want me to do another mystery movie evening...in a wee while.
