Movie recommendations

Watched "song sung blue" last night. I thought it was going to be a Neil Diamond biopic. Instead it's a true story about a ND tribute act. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. Both are very good, with Hudson being award worthy. It's well worth a watch, especially if you are a Neil Diamond fan. Be ready to sing along to Sweet Caroline bom bom bom.

It's very very good.

Any other year Kate Hudson is probably winning an Oscar.

Wuthering Heights. Unbelievable trash. Emerald Fennell[saltburn,promising young woman]

Watched "On the Waterfront" from 1954 to cleanse my palate and its a superb film with young Brando, Eve Marie St and Lee Cobb. Was on my list for ages,Irish American dock workers involved in union dispute with mobsters.

Wuthering Heights is awful. There's a good story there, music was good, cinematography was good if a little too gothic, and the supporting cast were good.

But in what must be a vain attempt to push the principals up for Oscars, it's just goes on and on and on and f**king on forever. And I ended up hating the both, and the movie.

Marketing was disgusting for it.

"Affair bait" they call it.

It is very boring and somehow makes Margo Robbie unsexy. Alison Oliver was only good part.

As I was looking around different reviews I learned of the existence of this book. Somehow 50 Shades seems like high culture

Seen a trailer. Looks like 50 shades  but up on the Moors. I suppose  women like that sort of thing.

Never read the book. Listened to the song  loads of times  though, so I  sort of know the gist of the story  from that . So that'll do me

Throw your coat over yourself and have a good kip.

The publicity campaign for Wuthering Heights is another behemoth. Sometimes they have to pump it harder when they know it's a potential dud. When they are on The One Show on BBC1 you know a film is in trouble.

Its just cringe the way the "naughty" scenes are tacked on. Bit like Saltburn, fake shock value stunts that are hollow and its nowhere as smutty as advertised.

The opening scene is utterly ridiculous, featuring a man being hanged[his erection is shown when he died] then an aroused nun climaxing.

Director is a pretentious toff. Robbie cast herself and way too old for the role. All very self congratulatory. 5

Wuthering Heights, the 1939 version imo is a classic. Laurence Oliver, Merle Oberon & David Nixon. Just outstanding, Laurence Oliver as Heathcliff-brilliant.

Also the 1943 version of Jayne Eyre with Orson Welles is another atmospheric classic.
