How good is The Social Network? Well, it’s only my opinion, but it’s very good indeed. The casting is perfect, the frailties of humanity disected and examined under a microscope very gently and even the most difficult characters have a sympathetic edge.

To celebrate, there’ll be an evening of entertainment set up for you on Saturday night in Dunbar at the Church Hall. I don’t have a flier, so I’m going to be sketchy for now. Pencil it in your diaries, though. I hear it was a toss…Continue readingMade in Dagenham
sad for me that i couldn’t make the opening film, though i had a wonderful time at my friend’s 40th. Everlasting Moments not only pulled in the punters, it scored a massive 8.3 average on the feedback forms (thanks Paul). the bar might be high, but there’ll be films to top that, i reckon. nicely done.Continue readingEverlasting Moments
