The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Miles Ahead? (2015) at the Ivy House on 27 September 2018


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Miles Ahead? (2015) at 8pm on Thursday, 27 September 2018, at the Ivy House.


This story of a ?metaphorical? meeting in 1979 between legendary jazz musician Miles Davis (Don Cheadle) and Rolling Stone?s fictional Dave Bradon (Ewan McGregor) is set at the moment when Davis? career appears eclipsed. The story purports to tell of a frenzied search for a missing tape of Davis? newest numbers (after 5 musically arid years), but is an excuse to review his personal and musical story. The narrative arc is as eclectic as a jazz solo, weaving back on itself. The story is somewhat chaotic, but the music is amazing.


Director: Don Cheadle

USA

Running time: 100 minutes.

Cert: 15


We say: This may seem like a weird caper movie (the sort that Davis might have liked to be in himself), but the man and his music transcend that. A soundtrack to die for!


Film at 8pm.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
