anything that's got Ewan McGreggor in it has to be good


I suspect that Angels&Demons will test that statement even more than the new Star Wars films did ;-)


I'd have to join Annasfield on The Spy Who Loved Me - the Union Jack Parachute moment is a pretty special, as is the speed boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. But then the opening sequence became such a big part of the Bond Cocktail that it's to be expected that they've put together a few good 'uns.


I think I'd like to add the opening sequence in Gladiator, which is pretty decent. Immerses the viewer into the period in quick-time, and great action.


On a less ballistic note, the deserted street and quiet score that open Breakfast at Tiffany's always make me smile.

Not trite at all PGC.

It was intendend to be beautiful and sentimental and be Jaysus Crikey it got there.

And I'll fight any man that says different. I will. So I will.

Predictably,considering my moniker, I'll go for the opening to Goodfellas: Ray Liotta 'For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a gangster' followed by Tony Bennet's 'Rag to Riches'. I think Joe Pesci's psychotic Tommy DiSimone was the template for many 'hardmen' in films afterwards including Kingsley's. I don't think I had ever seen anyone that genuinely scary in a film before. Nearest thing to that was Paul Betthany in Gangster no 1, which was a very underrated film.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
