Wow. This documentary was amazing. The restoration work, and the care that was taken with the footage is awe-inspiring. The Fathom Event showing had a short 30 minute program afterwards where Peter Jackson gave more insight into what all was done.
At first, it's all in black and white, when the colorization portion started, there was a collective gasp in the full theater. It was definitely reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz, in terms of the overall reveal.
The use of the actual veterans talking about life during the Great War were really interesting to hear, and though they used dozens of people, they were blended together seamlessly. I absolutely loved it, and can't wait until I can purchase it.

Hmmm … that was a weird one.

Ever since Bruce Willis doing the voice of the baby in 'Looks who's talking' I kind of feel that a load of Hollywood actors have wanted to get in the same gig: enter Alec Baldwin in this.

Made mostly for kids, this lacks the sophistication of a Pixar movie (which also has stuff to keep the adults amused), and is pretty much what it says on the tin (and poster): a be-suited baby giving orders to his older (and jealous) sibling while trying to stop the evil plans of the CEO of a Puppy corporation where his parents work.

You can see from the off right where this is going, and how it is going to end up ...

Today I met one of my favourite actresses Jena Malone, a true 'diamond in a sea of glass' and star of my favourite film of all time 'The Neon Demon' by Nicolas Winding Refn.
------------------------------------------
What an absolutely stunning and down to earth woman.
She was so lovely, intelligent, friendly, interesting and really genuine too.
------------------------------------------
Just an all round beautiful person that was so happy to engage with her fans and spend some time talking to me about the movies that I adore.
------------------------------------------
I feel so lucky and privileged to have met her as who would of guessed that one day I would actualy get to meet someone from a film that means so much to me.
So happy and totally overwhelmed right now 💜.
