weekend of 23rd, quick list

Akira.  Finally saw beginning to end.  Everybody as spectacular as every says, but we do get sore over long destruction sequences.

Midnight in Paris.  A nice idea,  but at times feels just like name dropping  celebs, and working too hard on its point.  Still,  beautiful Paris in the rain. 

How green is my valley.   I liked it,  very bleak coal mining period piece.  A bit surreal seeing malibu stand in for the Rhondda, and Roddy Macdowell age 13 filming less than a mile from the planet of the apes locations.

Ministry of Fear.   Fritz Lang noirish thriller with 5th columnists and Nazi sympathising Austrians in London.
