The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

by Patrick O'Connor

MOST of my cinema excursions take me to the Broadway, a splendid independent venue in the centre of Nottingham.

But as a special Christmas treat, I decided to see The Hobbit at the recently opened IMAX auditorium at the city's Cineworld.

Sightseers

by Patrick O'Connor

HAVING seen the two previous films by highly-rated director Ben Wheatley on television in the last couple of months, I was eagerly looking forward to a trip to the cinema to view his latest offering, Sightseers.

Wheatley has made his mark with black comedies, indeed Down Terrace, a gangster tale set in Brighton and Hit List, a film about hired assassins which morphed into a terrifying witchcraft story, are as dark as the most tasty bar of chocolate.
