Diane Keaton RIP.

Really sad about this, she was fucking awesome.

And on the subject of new to @netflix.com UK, season 1 of #DarkWinds has just appeared on there, and that's very good too!

ICYMI

Both seasons of #InterviewWithTheVampire are now on @netflix.com in the UK.

The very highest of recommendations for this incredible series (which leaves the movie adaptation in the dust).

Everyone seems to have seen it already but I finally caught up with #OneBattleAfterAnother...

...and yeah, you were all right about it.

Feels like a film you could watch in the 30 years and it would be a great time capsule for the era it was made in.

Bermudian-born Earl Cameron was one of the first Black actors to get star billing and portray an interracial romance in a British film.

That film is Pool of London (1951), screening next Friday 10th October at the @allendalecentre.bsky.social

Watched this one with my kid today (first time for him).

Seeing it opening weekend 31 (!) years ago remains one of the best cinema experiences I've ever had.

It grabbed hold of the zeitgeist on a level that few films manage.

I'm looking forward to helping it acquire a few more fans!

Very excited that we're getting to show this movie!

Starting to introduce my son to Tarantino. Was planning on showing them in order but he made sure that idea went out the window pretty swiftly...

You might be right. Is there a launch date yet?

It's baffling that the now Emmy-award-winning series #ThePitt *still* hasn't found a home in the UK.

The first Star Wars movie in nearly 7 years...

...will be an extended episode of a TV show...

...that told its story in two seasons.

A rewatch of one of the most startling directorial debuts ever.

This one was an absolute life-changer for me and still probably my favourite Tarantino.

Raw and dangerous.

One stone cold classic and three new watches which were all worth my time.

The events of the last week seem to have accelerated things in a very dangerous direction. I want to believe there's hope but it gets more difficult by the day.

Reluctant to wade into the discourse (don't want to end up on some list!) but what's happening in America seems to have entered an even more alarming phase.

Free speech but only if you say what they want to hear.

No!

'Legendary' barely scratches the surface.

RIP Robert Redford.

#AlienEarth should be completely my shit but it's just not clicking.

Even when they riff on the original movie it's not working for me the way I'd hoped.

I can't be alone in this.

Hopefully I've got the worst new movie I'll see this year out of the way.

(I mean, I wasn't expecting much but holy shit!)

Love having the chance to show these movies to people who may otherwise never see them.

Eternal thanks to @sumchick.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

High Contrast Cinema @highcontrastcinema.bsky.social · Sep 5

As always, huge thanks to everyone who joined us this evening. What a film!

See you next month.
