Over the past few weeks the movie on every- body’s award list is “The Artist”, it seems to be a winner with critics across the globe – so, now it’s my turn.
As I sit here munching my way through the final remnants of the Christmas Quality Street tin, (still trying to clear the backlog of recorded Christmas and New Year telly), I am thoroughly enjoying the recent BBC drama “Sherlock”.
Almost every time I turn on the TV these days “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” is on. Once I caught the remake, but four out of five times it’s the original.
Normally around the New Year period I end up watching “Four Rooms”, because it is set on New Year’s Eve and it’s filled with strange and entertaining stories. Sadly enough, when this movie was released back in 1995, it wasn’t as successful as hoped and was pretty much ignored – which is a shame, because it’s a great little movie.
“Four Rooms” is about Ted the Bellboy (Tim Roth), who has been left on his own to run the hotel on New Year’s Eve and how he copes with four very demanding rooms.
