Moley Makes …

Hello everybody. How are you all? Hasn’t the weather been weird lately? Considering it’s meant to be the middle of summer, it feels more like September. Not that I have anything against September, it is after all, when I celebrate my birthday. But it’s July and it ought to feel like July. Still, this is England and it’s not unusual to have all four seasons in one day.

We’re now getting to the long school holidays, most schools will be breaking up this week. My youngest is already on his long school break as he sat his final GCSE 2 weeks ago. Like most 16 year old boys, he is spending his days up in his room playing computer games and watching TV online, only coming downstairs to be fed and watered.

The only time he really leaves the house is to go to the cinema. He is a real film buff. He knows all about the directors and actors, he is almost like a walking encyclopaedia. Now I too love a good film, in fact our DVD movie collection here at home is massive. Mainly because unless you like talent shows or reality shows, TV is rubbish. So, I’ve decided that during the holidays, he needs to get out more. Cue Orange Wednesday. Many of you will know that if your mobile phone is with Orange they have a deal whereby every Wednesday, you and a friend can watch a film but your friend gets in for free. Cool or what.

There’s a few films coming out that I’d like to see and where usually I just wait for them to come onto DVD this summer we’re going to watch them on the big screen. We’ve already started as on Friday DS2, DD and her boyfriend and I went to see the much awaited final Harry Potter film. We are big HP fans here, having read all the books and watched the films.

I’m not going to spoil it for any of you who haven’t seen the film yet, but you won’t be disappointed. It is very good and watch out for Neville Longbottom. The only thing I’ll say is he has gone from zero to hero and from a geeky looking kid to quite a good looking young man. For anybody who has been living on another planet, here is a trailer to whet your appetite

Pretty cool, eh? Even if you’re not into wizards and stuff, it’s just a very entertaining film.

We haven’t quite decided what we’ll be watching next, but Larry Crowne is high on the list, amongst others. I do like Tom Hanks, he’s such a good actor. So this summer there will be a few posts about films, in addition to my knitting and crochet. I may even give it it’s own little section here on the blog.

Are any of you big film fans? What’s on your Summer “must see” film list?

Till next time, take care.
