Rediscovering the ‘oldies’

Just lately I picked up some DVD’s of movies I saw years back and had on video:

Blues Brothers - always a great way to wile away a couple of hours. Great music really makes this film

Ghostbusters - my youngest kids had never seen this so I bought it yesterday. Lot’s of fun!

Sense and Sensibility - okay, not so much an oldie but a real good chick flick if ever there was one. Best thing in the movie is Alan Rickman of course…

I also bought Little Miss Sunshine. I was quite disappointed in this film I have to admit, I was expecting some really great moments but they never came!

But my pick of the week?

The Castle - a wonderful little film made in Australia back in 1997. About an ordinary Aussie family who are close and loving, funny and ever optimistic. Their home, right beside the airport, is their castle and when they face losing it to big businessmen they put up the fight of their lives to save it. Great humour that is genuinely Australian and if you don’t have a warm glow as the closing credits roll then there is something seriously wrong with you.
