Films

Good film. Apparently the film crew wouldn't eat lunch with Carrell during filming because he wouldn't break character and he freaked them out.

If you like films based on true stories, consider these;

Injustice - with Chris Evans - really solid film - 8/10
The Iceman - also has Chris Evans in but he is not the lead - true story about a man that worked as a hit man - 7/10
42 - story about Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers - 7/10
Nine men out - another baseball film, an oldie with some amazing actors - about the Black Sox, baseball scandal - 7/10
Glory Road - about college basketball (I love my sports films) - 7/10

The Big Short - about shorting the housing market - really enjoyed this - Steve Carrell's character is great - 9/10
Concussion - Will Smith film about head injuries in sports - Can't say it's amazing but worth a watch if it is on
Death of a gentleman - if you like cricket, this is a must watch - really insightful documentary
Extraordinary measures - Brendan Fraser, Harrison Ford - not a light-hearted film as it is about kids with a terminal illness but it is really good

Miracle - ice hockey - very american but don't let that put you off. Kurt Russell.


Like I say, I love my films.

Try Undefeated, absolutely sublime film.
 
Swallows & Amazons; "lovely" was Mrs BiM's description, harking back to more innocent times and none the worse for it. A very pleasant way to spend the afternoon.
