Films of the Month - June

I only watched seven films in June which was just a stupidly low amount! I think I was just busy though so didn't have much time to sit down and watch films! So here's what I did see:

Lee and I watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as we hadn't seen it before. We both love the first one and we liked this, I think it was a good sequel

I blogged previously that Sam and I went to Penistone cinema to see The Salt Path and Cabaret, in the same day. I had read the book (reviewed here) so I was keen to see the film. And I liked it! But I did know the story so as I said I got more out of it than Sam did. A lot of the dialogue is really quiet which is annoying, but it really does look pretty.

And THEN all the stuff about the story not being true came out. I - along with Sam and my book club - have been agog at every new revelation. I am finding it interesting on an objective level about what 'truth' is and how everyone has their own version of it. I totally believe that Moth has some kind of degenerative illness, but it seems like it's really atypical or unknown. But no one should have to disclose private medical history, so I am sad that happened. I believe too that Raynor Winn has the right to be known by whatever name she wants to be known by. Where I fall down is over the financial stuff. It is fascinating and I don't think the story is over yet... 

 

Anyway, Sam and I saw Cabaret in the evening of the 7th, which was delightful as always

Jac and I watched Groundhog Day together virtually, which was nice. I haven't seen it in absolutely years so it was cool to see again

I watched Trainspotting again for the first time in forever. I need to watch the sequel soon too

I am trying to make my way through all of Heath Ledger's films and am going to write a zine about each film, so I went with this. I liked it, Heath is delightful in it, very scuzzy which is how I like him

Finally Lee and I watched Bill & Ted Face the Music while we were away on holiday in North Yorkshire
