Sunday Afternoon Films

You know what I mean by a good Sunday afternoon film. Yes you do. Certainly the Groupie and I know what we mean. So it was that on the afternoon of the Sabbath we treated ourselves to Babe. This deceptively simple movie hides its technical mastery under a cloak of easy warmth and bonhomie. It is a children's film, yes, but like all the best of that genre it plays up to our inner child. Somehow the magic was only increased by the fact that I had recorded it at Christmas - Christmas advertising can be surprisingly uplifting when viewed at fast-forward. 79/100.
