Rainy Saturday ....

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: Its back in cinemas after 50 years! A nice contrast to the bland epics of today with their shallow CGI effects, full of pantomime grotesques and token females. Lean's magesterial epic seen on the big screen may seriously damage your ability to enjoy anything else.

It was also great to see CLEOPATRA on the big screen on its general release back in 1964 .... will that get a 50th anniversary re-release too?

Good too to see AMOUR (the breakout arthouse hit of the year), ARGO, THE MASTER, RUST & BONE and SKYFALL among the top 10 films in London.
