Yeah, I struggled with the book. Set in like the 1800's or something isn't it?

Nah it's set in LA, I think it's supposed to be modern day.

Great idea to turn it around and make him the bad guy essentially.

Weird. No idea why I thought 1800s. Was ages ago I read it.

Pixels with Adam Sandler - Absolutely atrocious. Not sure what i was thinking even choosing it.

Only saving graces were Michelle Monaghan and Ashley Benson.

Not a great fan of costume drama/period stuff but I like Mike Leigh and Tim Spall a lot so gave this a go. It's a top performance from Spall, all gruff and surly as the great artist and the design and period detail is very strong, supporting cast are good too, particularly Dorothy Atkinson as his doting housekeeper. It took some criticism for pace and being a bit dull. It is long and I can see that it wouldn't be everyone's thing but it went rather well with a Sunday afternoon hangover and a cup of tea. The real attraction is the cinematography. The film is about art and inspiration and the look of the film is peerless, whether shooting the stunning British landscapes or the artist at work in studios and galleries the use of light and colour is often breathtaking.
Liked it.

Timothy Spall will never top his role as the angry brummie running the Red Dwarf VR game in the episode 'Back to reality'

Wall Street.

Douglas and Sheen superb. Everton were still good at that time as well FFS...

While working from home yesterday I watched....

The Damned United (2009)

Seen it before but was in the mood for it again.

It truly is one of the best sports movies of all time. And quite possibly the actual best football movie ever (not that is has much competition!).

Michael Sheen's portrayal of Brian Clough is ridiculously good and spot on.

I can't reccomend this movie enough for every football fan.

I trust you've read the book. I feel it might have worked better as a TV mini-series, give it more chance to show Clough's personality a bit more. Film felt a little rushed.
