The King's Speech

WOW!
What a film.
What an incredible, beautiful, funny, moving, brilliant film.

We went to go and see The King's Speech at the BAM cinema in Brooklyn, just a couple of train stops away in Fort Greene. The BAM cinema is a bit like the Showroom cinema, it's quite small and only has 4 screens. So it was nice to see the film in a smaller, more intimate screen in a more arty farty cinema.

The film was absolutely brilliant, I thought the acting was amazing, the story was incredible and the film was shot beautifully - it's one of the best films I've seen in a very very very long time.

What else was great was that in the evening we were watching the Golden Globes and Colin Firth won best actor - fingers crossed he'll get an Oscar for his amazing performance too.

BAM seems like a fantastic place, there's a theatre, an Opera House and a cinema. Looking at their programmes there are some pretty good plays coming up, Alan Rickman's in one during January and February and then in March Geoffrey Rush is going to be doing 'Diary of a Mad Man'... some pretty big names for such a small theatre.

Hopefully we'll be able to go back to BAM to the theatre sometime soon.

  1. We went to go and see The Kings Speech yesterday afternoon, we thought it was amazing too, a film to own when it comes out on DVD. I cried several times, it was brilliant.
