An actor who made few films but departed this earth clutching an Oscar for his part in A Man For All Seasons.

Not forgetting Leigh-Mallory in “Battle of Britain”, of course!

That would be Patrick Wymark;) .

Make your own mind up guys 😮 :confused: .

And talking of kids films,saw The Spiderwick Chronicles at the Greenwich Picturehouse yesterday.There were loads of kids there aged between 4 and 15 and they loved it.Loads of giggles and laughing.I to enjoyed it,Industrial Light and Magic have created some great fairy tale creatures (the Griffon is superb) and the story romps along at a cracking pace.

I never saw it advertised locally or in the West End,but it might have ducked under my radar 😮 .

Region 1.Got mine from play.
Darabont changed the end.When King saw it he said “Wish I had thought’a that.”

The Mist-based on a Stephen King mini story.Ably directed by Frank Darabont,who also directed two other King stories ( Shawshank and Green Mile),this is a cracking creepy monster story.There’s tiny monsters,medium size monsters,great big monsters and spiders of all sizes,and you wouldn’t wanna play with any one of them.Add to the mix a religious vs scientific debate about how to get saved,loads of “jumpy” bits (some you see coming but most times you don’t),a pretty good 5.1 soundtrack,a couple of beers and some popcorn and you should have an entertaining 126 minutes.

AVP on Blu-Ray. Got a Blu-Ray player Tuesday and this seemed like a great first choice. The film, which I always thought was a decent movie, looks absolutely fabulous in 1080p. I also got I Am Legend and Hitman on Blu-Ray, I’ll be watching those this weekend (haven’t seen either one yet). Now I can’t wait for AVP:R and Predator to come out on Blu-Ray in April 😀

At last the High Def DVD war is over thank goodness.For the first time ever,I was not an early adopter,thereby usually losing out to the eventual winner.I stayed with a multi-region player that upscaled to 1080I and P to my monitor and projector.
I know that,as for the present,Blu-Ray discs are not region coded,but for how long.Does your,or any,new Blu-Ray player upscale ordinary discs?
