I watched Batman Begins again recently. Hasn't aged well. What once seemed gritty now seems very silly. Ho hum.
Also perused Side Effects (Steven Soderbergh, 2014)
Rooney Mara is sad as her hubby is in jail for insider trading. How she copes with this unfolds in Soderbergh's usual stately pace. Worth a look as it didn't turn out the way I expected.
Watched Time Without Pity (1952, Joseph Losey)
A cast of stalwarts in a tale of revenge and boozing. Twas on Talking Pictures etc. Recommended, if only to see Rumpole with dyed blond hair!!!
Catch 22 (Mike Nichols, 1970)
Sprawling adaptation of Joseph Heller's wartime novel. Quite grim in places, lived up to the memory.
Psycho (1960, Hitch)
Whilst Peeping Tom is still the sicker film, this is just a unique piece of cinema. Arbogast's demise still a highlight for me. As this was the blu that I received as a late Xmas pressie, it looks sharp enough on my crappy tv haha.
