I've never seen the original but the Crowe/Bale one is terrific.

Agree with this I have seen it a couple of times and really enjoyed the crowd version.

Yep, brilliant show. Both versions are great, but I liked the Crowe/Bale one better. Ben Foster's character is really good in it too.

The new Wicked (part 2) is mostly crap IMO.  A bit of a disappointment.  I really enjoyed the west end show, but I think overall they havent done it justice here.

Best films watched this year

A Man Escaped ,1956 [french resistance fighter plots prison break]

Playtime , 1967 . Genius visual comedy that was way ahead of its time.

Paprika, 2006 anime about dreams, Nolan lifted several scenes from it for Inception[released 4 years later]

The Skin I Live In , 2011. A surgeon at the cutting edge has some "interesting ideas".

Threads, 1984. Russia nukes Britain

Nurse Betty , The Substance , Anora , Bound

Act 1 is much stronger in the stage show as well. After Defying Gravity it drops off a good bit.

I'd agree with that.  The better songs are in the 1st half.

Not so much  a recommendation....

Coming to America sequel. Oh sweet Lord. Brutal stuff.  From what I remember, the original  was  ok, was it not?

Without trying to sound  racist here , maybe you need to be a black American to find  this sort of thing funny. It was like  being trapped  in a Snoop Doggy Dogg video for  2 hours

The new Beverly Hills cop was pure muck had to turn it off. Modern writing standards have fallen off a cliff, it seems they produce solid 6.5 films for the Netflix zombies to consume. A "safe" budget and guaranteed return. Axel F cost $170 Million LOL

If it hit cinemas it would have flopped and lost money

If that's the Bound I think it is, it apparently was the reason a friend of mines failed one of his GCSEs.

There's a story there.
Will we hear it though 😄

1996 Bound starring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly as girlfriends of mobsters who decide they're more interested in each other and make a plan to deal with the BF. I would guess its the same one by sound of it

Kill Bill : The Whole Bloody Affair

Brilliant, not his biggest fan but KB might be my fav of his. Shameless quoting of other films[often his own], excellent musical choices and stellar casting.

Worth cinema trip but a long sit. The Crazy 88 scene is in full colour and incredible. Uma Thurman at the height of her power.

I didn't even know this was a thing!
It must be looooong?
Might do a wee solo cinema night over the christmas madness for a bit of peace and quiet.

Was watching Love Actually the other night with the missus and clean forgot about the amount of nudity and sex in it and it not even 9 O'Clock.

Disgrace.

Where is Mary Whitehouse when you need her?
