What Blu-Ray did you watch last night?

Ah! "The Bank Job" boy that's going back a bit. I remember picking up the 35mm print from the Hollywood Cinema one night for later screening at Movieland . Good movie but we didn't keep it for long. I did a total of film prints over the 10 years I was there, it came to 746 prints that came and went. Very seldom I would watch any of them, always to busy with things to do. I guess most of those prints would have been destroyed by now

For something a bit different the blu-ray of "My Girl 2", from 1994, good all round cast, not bad, blu-ray picture and sound are both very good, projected using the Panasonic.

I think I have watched this movie about a million times over the years , tonight once again, with the blu-ray and the Panasonic VP doing there thing. I would really have to rate it as the best disaster film ever made, with a perfect cast and script.

Only thing though and I am being picky, is when he says hard "left" it should be hard "Port"

Last night we watched 'Mr Burton', which had snuck out on Blu-ray at the weekend. The publicity must have been spoken in whispers as its release was a surprise. The film is based on the early life of Richard Burton and has excellent performances from a young Harry Lawtey (as Burton), the omnipresent Toby Jones (as his Teacher) and Lesley Manville (as their landlady). The film has the style of a BBC film and, indeed, the Beeb is mentioned in the credits. The story is handled in a tasteful manner so it avoids the subject matter descending to the level of the gutter, which in less capable hands it quite easily could have. The only thing that lets the film down are the CGI background plates of the Port Talbot steelworks, which stick out like a sore thumb. However, it's the performances that make this film worth watching. Well worth a screening.

Tonight being Saturday I thought I would re-visit this blu-ray of "Belfast". Although its not the first time I have watched it, its certainly a movie I would recommend if you have not already seen it.
