Film criticism

[undyingking]

The other day I watched the film of The Cider House Rules, which had been on TV. The lead character, Homer Wells, grows up in an orphanage in the 1930s where they have a weekly film night -- but it's always the same film, King Kong, the only one they own. Later on Homer is taken to the cinema to see the Olivier Wuthering Heights, and when he comes out his date asks what he thought of it. He says:

"It was good, but it was no King Kong."

This immortal line filled me with great joy, as I'm sure it will some of you.

I'm really looking forward to the Peter Jackson version. Should be good from the snippets I've seen.

I've seen that film (Cider house rules) and quite enjoyed it which surprises me no end since its not really my sort of film. Maybe I have the ability to get cultured at some point...
