Hi
Everyone,
I'm
writing this on the sad day that the death of British comedy legend
Ronnie Corbett was announced. My condolences to his friends and
family. I shall be hopping over to YouTube in a few minutes to watch
the classic Two
Ronnies sketch “four
candles”, also the brilliant one where a Mastermind contestant
answers the previous question, and any other gems they have up there.
Rest in peace Ronnie.
So, yes folks! It's that time again.
Time for me to publish another movie releases newsletter. My little
nettop – the Acer: Revo One RL85 – has been the computer I've
compiled it on this time. (For anyone who's interested; the main
software I use is Coreldraw). I've been quite impressed with the
RL85. It performs most tasks well and is fine loading internet pages.
Just occasionally it can't cope – but that's if it's dealing with a
couple of major programs running at the same time. As you'd expect
with an Intel Celeron 2957u 1.4Ghz processor (and 4GB of DDR3 RAM) it
struggles with complicated graphics. It took five minutes, for
example, to save my completed newsletter; but it got there in the
end. Every now and again the computer lets out a little hard drive "tweeting" noise - but this is not that bothersome. This compact PC is quite good – as long as you don't need it
for really professional type graphics and heavy video processing.
It's an exciting time for regular
moviegoers in the UK. One of the two major cinema chains - Odeon Cinemas - has
introduced a new “Limitless” scheme; allowing members to watch
an unlimited number of films for £17.99 a month. This is a good
deal if you tend to go to the pictures three or four times a month
(or more). The other big chain - Cineworld - has had a similar scheme for
a few years now; and this is called "Unlimited"
and currently costs £16.90 per month. Presumably these endeavours
are an attempt to rival “stay at home" services such as Netflix
and Amazon Prime. But I think there's still a great joy to be had in
going out to a cinema with a bunch of mates, catching the latest
blockbuster or art house release, and munching your way through a
humongous
tub of popcorn. Happy days! And what do we have on offer this month?
New releases in the UK in April 2016
include The Huntsman:
Winter's War, The Jungle Book, and
Captain America: Civil War.
Although many were “iffy” about Snow
White and the Huntsman, I
really enjoyed it and am looking forward to this second film of the
franchise. The Jungle Book
is a life-action and CGI
hybrid from Walt Disney Studios and, if the trailers are anything to
go by, it looks pretty incredible. For Marvel fans
Captain America: Civil War
needs little by way of introduction. Just go along and soak
up all the action. Enjoy!
