Let's go to the movies...

First up, a big thank you to P who redesigned my blog today. I like it and hope you do too...

Today we went to the cinema for the first time in a long while. We saw The Artist... and took a trip back to the time of the silent movies. The story was similar to that of Singing in the Rain as the era of the talkies began and the old silent actors fell off the headlines. As the music swelled it covered the lack of words and although there are very few subtitle screens it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can read their lips and when you can't well then there are subtitle screens and sometimes they are what cause the laughs. 

A little bit of hamming it up fitted right in with the silent movie. The supporting dog really carried the show, he walked on his hind legs and played dead, all with expert comic timing. I definitely recommend this picture for a peaceful watch with plenty of laughs and maybe a few tears too.
