Cleckheaton Literature Festival

I am pleased to announce to my followers that the Cleckheaton Writers Group is in the process of organising a Cleckheaton Literature Festival for this year (as publicised in the Spenborough Guardian newspaper today).  We plan to hold the event over the weekend of 8-10 May at the Cleckheaton Library, West End Park and possibly one other venue.

We currently have four writers confirmed as attending, one being local poet and novelist John Irving Clarke, and expect more to be announced soon.  The Literature Festival will be a mix of workshops, seminars, author talks and readings for both children, young adults and adults taking in literature from many genres for adults, YA and children, including screenwriting, poetry, short-story and travel writing.  With a mixture of well-known and first time writers both locally and internationally, we hope that the Cleckheaton Literature Festival will bring creative opportunities for learning and engagement with the arts.

At the moment we are seeking funding, more writers and volunteers for the Festival, but it is very exciting and a steep learning curve for the Cleckheaton Writers Group.

I will post further details as the events get confirmed, so watch this space.

Fury film review

Went to see this film today with my friend Aj at the Leeds/Bradford Odeon.

IMDB says:  April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.







Brad Pitt (Se7en, Fight Club) plays Don 'Wardaddy' Collier the commander of the five-man crew, Boyd 'Bible' Swan (Shia LaBeouf: Transformers, Lawless), Trini 'Gordo' Garcia (Michael Pena: American Hustle, Million Dollar Baby), Grady 'Coon-Ass' Travis (Jon Bernthal: The Ghost, The Wolf of Wall Street) and new guy Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman: Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief, The Perks of Being a Wallflower).  Other actors who pop up as fellow American soldiers are Jim Parrack (True Blood, Battle Los Angeles) as Sergeant Binkowski, Brad William Henke (Pacific Rim, Jobs) as Sergeant Davis, Kevin Vance (Sabotage, End of Watch) as Sergeant Peterson, Xavier Samuel (Anonymous, The Loved Ones) as Lieutenant Parker, Scott Eastwood (son of Clint, Gran Tourino, Flags of our Fathers) as Sergeant Miles, Laurence Spellman (The Libertine, Small Island) as Sergeant Dillard and the fabulous Jason Isaacs (The Patriot and Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) as Captain Waggoner.



The acting is superb and though there is not an obvious plot, the film beautifully underscores the horrors and pointlessness of war, including how it can turn on luck or suck all of the little joys of life, so maybe this was the point, and it was great that this film did not fall back on the usual unnecessary gore that accompanies most war films.

Trivia:  Many of the outfits in the film were based on real exhibits acquired from Museums around the World and the 'Fury' tank, a genuine Tiger I tank 'Tiger 131' M4A2E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman tank (formerly 'Ron/Harry'), from the Bovington Tank Museum in the United Kingdom.  Reportedly, Shia LaBeouf pulled out his own tooth, cut his own face and did not shower during filming to add another layer of realism to his performance, all the cast (including Pitt, aged 50) underwent a rigorous month-long course of boot camp including a combat exercise manning a tank and despite this film being about Nazi oppression, the producers used security men with Rottweiler dogs to intimidate members of the public into not taking photographs of filming from perfectly legal public footpaths.

Other Sherman tanks used in the movie were:

'Lucy Sue', an M4A2 Sherman from Tay Restorations,
'Matador' is M4E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman from Jeep Sud Est,
'Murder, Inc.' is an M4A4 Sherman from Adrian Barrell,
'Old Phyllis' is an M4A1 (76)W Sherman.



Tagline: War never ends quietly.                                           7/10

France, 1940. Jacobowsky, a Polish Jewish intellectual, has been one step ahead of the Nazis for years. Stjerbinsky, an aristocrat, anti semitic Polish colonel, is desperately trying to get to England. Jacobowsky has purchased a car he doesn’t know how to drive.

Kingsman: The Secret Service preview film review

Went to see this preview screening at Leeds/Bradford Odeon with my husband and two friends J and L.

IMDB says: A veteran secret agent takes a young upstart under his wing.



In this Matthew Vaughn (Snatch, Kick Ass) directed and screenplay written along with Jane Goldman (Stardust, Kick Ass), Mark Millar (The Secret Service) and Dave Gibbons (The Secret Service) film, Colin Firth (The King's Speech, Bridget Jones's Diary) plays Harry Hart (codename Galahad) the agent who takes Eggsy/Gary Unwin (Taron Egerton The Smoke, Testament of Youth) under his wing against the advice of his boss Arthur (Michael Caine, The Italian Job, Batman Begins) following the death of fellow agent Lancelot (Jack Daveport, Pirates of the Carribean, The Talented Mr Ripley) as he feels he owes Eggsy's late father a debt. 

Once under training with Merlin (Mark Strong, Kick Ass, Stardust) along with his fellow potential agents including Gazelle (Sofia Boutella, Dance Challenge, Azur & Asmar: The Prince's Quest), Hugo (Tom Prior, The Theory of Everything, Alex was a friend of mine) and Roxy (Sophie Cookson, Moonfleet) Eggsy's street skills start to stand him in good stead, even if it does give the 'silver spoon' candidates a reason to try and belittle him.  Only one can replace Lancelot and it needs to be soon as billionaire activist Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained) has kidnapped leading scientist James Arnold (Luke Skywalker himself, i.e, Mark Hamill) and seems to have a dastardly scheme to take over the world.

 





I absolutely loved this movie, from the suave Colin Firth as the gentleman agent paired with the 'chav with a heart' Eggsy, to the hilarious over-the-top megalomaniac bad guy Jackson (the speech impediment was just the right touch).  It had lovely nods to modern society, class values and action with unashamed violence and swearing, topped off with spot-on music choices.  What a ride, this film may just make it into my top ten of all time.

Kick Ass meets classic Bond meets Men in Black.                                                  10/10

The Rewrite film review

Went to see this film today at the Leeds/Bradford Odeon with my friend Aj and did not know what to expect at all.

IMDB says: An Oscar-winning writer in a slump leaves Hollywood to teach screenwriting at a college on the East Coast, where he falls for a single mom taking classes there.



In this Marc Lawrence (Miss Congeniality, Music and Lyrics) written and directed film, Hugh Grant (Love Actually, About A Boy) plays Keith Michaels, the down-on-his luck screenwriter who moves to Binghamton to teach when his agent can no longer get him writing work. 

He does not make a great first impression, starting an affair with one of his students Karen (played by a spot-on Bella Heathcote, Dark Shadows, In Time) before he even starts teaching and offending the 'big cheese' on the faculty Mary (the ever brilliant at acerbic roles Allison Janney, Juno, The West Wing) at his first teaching-related social event, following this up with a lackadaisical attitude to his job.  But he does make friends with his fellow teacher and neighbour Jim (Chris Elliott, Groundhog Day, There's Something About Mary) and gets on well with his boss, the appropriately named Dr Lerner (J. K. Simmons, Juno, Spiderman), plus he got to hand pick his class with mainly hot female students that are easy on the eye, even if one mature student Holly, played by the joyous Marisa Tomei (The Lincoln Lawyer, What Women Want) manages to worm her way in to the class too.



Grant is excellent as a down-trodden ex-Hollywood player and this is where the script most resonates in reality and as Lawrence wrote Miss Congeniality, a big hit from a number of years ago, it does leave the viewer wondering how autobiographical the one-hit-wonder script is.  It is well written and directed and Grant is perfect for the lecherous, sexist and cynical divorced man who likes a drink rather too much and it is a lovely surprise when, rather than getting away with this attitude, he is made an example of because of it.

There are no huge surprises in this somewhat predictable rom-com, but it is a pleasant watch nonetheless.



Trivia:  This is the fourth film that teams Lawrence and Grant as director and lead actor and the scene in which Grant watches the clip on the internet, it is him accepting the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical for 'Four Weddings and A Funeral.'

A pleasant, if predictable, rom-com.                                                  6/10
