What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

Cocaine Bear

Elizabeth Banks directs the best film about a killer bear since Grizzly. And it's intentionally bloody hilarious. Cast is magnificent; too many to name - lots of familiar quality actors giving it their very best.

Maybe some viewers might be a bit down on this being one of Ray Liotta's last roles but am guessing he would have got the humour of it.

Wicked fun!
 
Melody (1971)
Released in the UK entitled S.W.A.L.K.
A touching, delightful comedy of first love starring Jack Wild, Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde.
Directed by Waris Hussein - director of the first Doctor Who serial - and script by Alan Parker.
Nice Bee Gees soundtrack.
I grew up and lived around some of the film's locations..
Please to say that pubs The Pineapple (Lambeth North) and The Ship (Kennington Road) are still around today..
I watched this on DVD ...
But I've noticed that it will be showing on Talking Picture TV this Thursday @ 12.50pm..
