From the Inbox and Quick April Recap

Hidey-ho neighbors! I know I said in my A - Z Blogathon post that I was going to be back soon for an April recap, but I got sidetracked and as you can see, I'm a little late. Anyway, it was the following e-mail from a reader that got me back and it turns out, he needs a bit of help. Check this out...

FROM THE INBOX

I know you have a big fast in films and know your titles :) so I was wondering if you can help me list the movies in this advert ! I know Dr. Zhivago and the time travel one ... But I am most interested in the one with the hanging by the swimming pool and the guy reading in the airplane. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=nQd4PQj2yOA 

Kind Regards from a bloke who is about to pull his hair out ! ;)

So there you have it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The clip he's referring to with the guy reading in the airplane comes at about the 3 second mark and the guy hanging by the swimming pool is at 8 seconds. I'd actually be interested to know the latter myself. It kind of looks like LES DIABOLIQUE, but I know it's not. I guess these are all films by British directors, if that helps.

QUICK APRIL 2014 THOUGHTS

There's really not much to talk about from last month, as I only watched one BOOK movie and I'd keep ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ and CLOSER with the same rating I initially gave them, from my SINS OF OMISSION series. As for WANDA, I'd still give it a '7.5' - I definitely liked it and the performance from Loden was a memorable one. I didn't watch anything else last month.

If you're really jonesing for something new of mine to read, then check out my Letterboxd page a little later today where I'll have some thoughts on BLUE JASMINE, which I just watched last night. I hate to pop in so quick and run, but there really just isn't much else to cover. I plan to be back on the blog in no more than a month's time. See ya' then!
