IN CINEMAS THIS WEEK
American Animals – highly recommended drama-doco about a heist. Not a groovy Oceans confection, but a thrilling, sobering story of deluded aspirations.
The Seagull– another movie adaptation of the Chekhov classic.
Life Itself– Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde travel life’s bumpy highway: from being college lovers to parents. Also starring Annette Benning.
Venom– sci-fi-action-horror starring Tom Hardy, Michelle Wiilliams and Woody Harrelson.
Bad Times at the El Royale– seven strangers with shadowy secrets meet in a rundown hotel (again)
Hello Mrs Money – crazy rich Asians, again.
Harmony: the 5 Frequencies Saga, Part 1 – Five orphans use their supernatural powers to save the world (again).
Paws Patrol: Mighty Pups – the Movie– dogs with superpowers.
Andhadun– the blind pianist plot gets a romcom mystery workout.
FAREWELL – screen luminaries who left us in September
Fenella Fielding- delightful English comedic actor, with lovely timing and an absurd, throaty voice. Most remembered for her appearances in Carry-On films, she was born Fenella Feldman, 90 years ago, and made her movie debut in a Norman Wisdom vehicle, Follow a Star (1959), as Lady Finchington; (she didn’t appreciate being groped by Mr Wisdom). She was popular on TV, in cabaret and in the movie farce Guest House Paradiso (1999) as Mrs Foxfur.

| Dudley Sutton, The Pink Panther Strikes Again |
Dudley Sutton– English character actor; probably most famous as a reprobate antique dealer in TV’s Lovejoy. Early on he was often a menacing lad, and later, an eccentric or sinister senior. His prolific movie career includes The Leather Boys (1964); Fellini’s Casanova (1976) Orlando(1992).
Burt (Burton Leon) Reynolds– affable movie tough guy star with a gift for comedy, but not for hairstyles. After more than a decade on TV and in B features, he made a major impression in Deliverance (1972). Heaps of A movies followed. He was successful as a good ol’ boy in Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and its sequels; and as a porn producer in Boogie Nights(1997). He was married to Sally Field, but according to her recent autobiography, was less than generous about supporting her career.
