Saving Mr. Banks (2013) An absolutely delightful story showing how the film version of Mary Poppins came to be. Emma Thompson is bewitching as Poppins creator and novelist P.L. Travers, whilst Tom Hanks once again, in his portrayal of Walt Disney, proves he's one of Hollywood's finest actors, not just of his generation but of all time. Thompson's scenes with Bradley Whitford, Jason Schwartzman and B. J. Novak as they test out storyboards and songs are a highlight as is Paul Giamatti's turn as Traver's chauffeur around Hollywood. The biggest complement i can give this charming film is that it made me go out and buy the dvd of Mary Poppins when i first saw it, because at the time i'd never actually seen the classic musical. I'm normally cynical as far as 21st century Disney goes but i hold my hands up and admit that the mouse wins this round. |

The Sect. 1991. A kindergarten teacher becomes involved with a satanic cult and a well beneath her house may hold a secret. I was never really a fan of this film from Michele Soavi even though I appreciated his other films but over time I have been drawn to this film that it's more appreciated now. It does have some imaginative plot that goes off the rails and back on again even with Herbert Lom as you don't know whether he is a saviour or a cult member, his acting methods are always pleasant to see in his films. Kelly Curtis plays the teacher Miriam who seems to be a target for this satanic cult and tries to evade them. The film does go on a bit and tends to drag but worth a watch. download.jpeg

I'm pleased with all the positive reviews of his Justice League re-cut though so I'm going to give it a chance, I'm pretty sure that I gave the original version a very mediocre 2 stars when I watched it last year.
