BOBBY

Went to a screening of the Emilio Estevez film BOBBY last night... and felt incredibly ignorant not realizing the historical significance of Bobby Kennedy in general! The storyline is based around various characters living, loving & laughing at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968, culminating with his success in the Californian primaries and tragic assassination at the height of the celebrations. Great cast, especially Sharon Stone, in an otherwise rather sad film - although some very funny moments involving some young election volunteers dropping acid. Good to see the rrp and Momentum Pictures gang again. Lots happening in our industry at the moment, which we'll have to try and cover in our little blog... Filmnight gone into administration - the end of two-tier on the horizon? - PS3 coming up - BlueRay/HD-DVD battle commences - more entrants to the download arena - and some great films. Which leads me to mention our VOLVER promotion... we're offering a FREE rental on any other Almodovar film when hiring Volver, which is out this coming Monday! This is his sixteenth title currently available on DVD! And of course Penelope Cruz is up for an Oscar for her role.
