Grade: A Greco Factor: off the charts!!!  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 02-12-2006 11:39 AM                     We've got it for the fourth time this week; we've been running it on and off since before Christmas. I think it's quite good, but I don't think that most of the staff agree with me. It's been doing very well, close to selling out most shows. Judi Dench is very popular with the older residents of Croydon. Last year we kept bring back 'Ladies in Laverder' this year it's similar with Mrs. Henderson. It's rated 12a, but we don't get many young people coming to see it. There's something which puzzles me somewhat. It the shot of Mrs. Henderson after she sees Mr. Van Damme naked, where she is holding the dog, she says: 'Why, Mr. Van Damme, you are', I have difficulty hearing the next word over the projector noise, and I keep forgetting to turn the monitor volume up, but I think it is 'Jewish'. If so, the meaning would be obvious, but in the trailer it is different. The nude shot is not shown, and Mrs. Henderson says: 'Why, Mr. Van Damme, now you're getting the hang of it', words which were taken from a different scene a few minutes earlier in the film. Given that both the film and the trailer are rated 12a, it's difficult to see why the change was made. It's also difficult to understand why the trailer is rated 12a, and not PG; but then I always did find some BBFC ratings difficult to understand. We finish with the film on Thursday, and I won't have time to see it before then, but the Ashcroft Theatre, just a few minutes walk away, and also run by the Council, which seldom runs film since the local multiplex opened, also has it later in the month, so I may go to see it there. How many of their almost 1000 seats they will sell after it has been on release for so long, I don't know. How well is it doing over there? It's a very British film, and I'm not sure how well it would fransfer to that side of the water.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
