Phone Booth

A long overdue trip to the cinema with Rich and Paul. I was really looking forward to this one...

First I had to sit through a new BMW "advert". I thought it was poo. However, a quick look around www.bmwfilms.com revealed there were 2 more. 'Hostage' looks a lot better.

Then the trailers. I hate trailers.

Finally, the film. It started badly. Any producer of a film that contains footage of a satelite in space that makes a whooooshing sound as it flies past the camera obviously hasn't been here or here. I don't care if it "looks and sounds good". Shut up and spend more effort on other things, like the rest of the film introduction.

So after the whooooshing noises of the satellite came those generic bleeping noises always heard when electronic equipment appears in films (we're still in space by the way).

Zoom into planet Earth. Now that looked good... uh oh, the camera has flown into a circuit board in a mobile phone... cue more stupid sound effects (this time DTMF noises).

OK, griping over. When the film finally got started, I really enjoyed it. In case you don't know, the bulk of it is set around a man in a ...... Phone Booth! It was something different and I was entertained all the way through. Certainly give it a try if you can.
