Todays films were:
Age of heroes a film inspired by the real life exploits of 30 Commando during the second world war. This stars Sean Bean, doing his best to sound posh as the major commanding an operation to assault a Nazi radar station in snowy Norway and Danny Dyer (giving one of his usual performances) as a misfit infantry corporal released from military prison to take part in the raid. Its relatively low budget, but this doesn't hamper things too much and the film is a slightly above average effort and well worth the €5 I paid for the bluray.
and The Incident (German Bluray) a group of friends play together in a rock band at night and work together in the kitchen of an asylum for the criminally insane. A power cut during an electrical storm frees the asylums and the friends must battle to survive. I missed this on the festival circuit last year, and to be honest picked it up accidentally when I mistook it for another film.But I am glad I did because it is above average and deserves a rental at the very least.
Back to the Roger Moore Bond films tomorrow.
