Song for Marion

Do you remember the post about BFI London Film Festival? If you don't click here.

I mentioned that I booked my ticket for ''Song for Marion'' movie. I watched the film yesterday at Odeon theatre at Leicester Square and all I can say is that it was with no doubt a great movie. 

The movie filled me up with so many feelings about life, parents, illnesses, relationships and companionship. It leaves you with a bittersweet feeling, and that is what I like about movies. To be realistic. I believe that everyone who will watch that film can identify himself or herself in one of the characters or at least identify a member of their family. 

The thing I liked the most was how it relates young people with older people. I can see clearly the exchange of energy between them. Older people give attention to the younger one, and the younger one gives life and happiness to them.

Finally the great balance between drama and comedy made the movie so  nice to watch without worrying if you disturb the person next to you with your crying. 
  
The film is directed by Paul Andrew Williams (also known for ''London to Brighton''). 
The characters of the film are played by Terence Stamp (Arthur), Gemma Arterton (Elizabeth), Vanessa Redgrave (Marion), Christopher Eccleston (James).

The photo above is just before the screening where on the right Terence Stamp and on the left Paul Andrew Williams say a few things about the character and the film.

According to IMDB film's release date in UK is on the 8th of February 2013.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Cheers 

Rolling Stones

It's all about Rolling Stones these days! 

Formed in London 1962 half a century ago, Rolling Stones celebrate these years with 2 concerts in the O2 arena both in 25th and 29th of November. You can book your tickets here.

But this is not the only thing why Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood are having fun these days. Yesterday was the premiere of their documentary at the BFI London Film Festival where they attended the event. On the video that follows you can see what happened yesterday and some comments from the producer and the director of the documentary.

Hope they are going to make more great music in the next years because as they say...50 and counting!


This is a video from a concert, in London 30 years ago, performing ''Satisfaction''

Have a great rock n' roll weekend!

Bodyform Advertisement

Few days ago Richard Neill ( a Facebook user), posted at "Bodyform'' Facebook page a comment about how Bodyform advertisements represent lies about how women are acting during their period. You can see his post here. 

The answer that he got was a whole new advertisement by ''Bodyform'' and by the CEO of the company which is very clever and funny. 

What do you think?

BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL

   

    I've been living in London for over a month now and the one thing that I missed this year for not being in Athens was Athens International Film Festival. BUT lucky me! I'm in London where great things for music and films happen. One of them is London Film Festival. 
    I was having coffee in Brick Lane when they gave me a 100 page booklet about it. When I got home I opened it and I found out the variety of movies and documentaries. I got online and booked my ticket to see what this festival is all about and tell you my experience. 
    London Film Festival is taking place on 10 till 21 of October and the screenings take place in several cinemas around London. You can book your tickets and find out about the prices here . You simply type in the search engine the movie that you decided you want to see and the available screenings pop up at your screen. The films are listed here. 
    Finally, I find the photo of the festival amazing! I think it represents all the different films that the festival has and that is for all kind of people. That's what films are all about right? 

PS. I booked my ticket for the movie ''Song for Marion''. Check it out!
