I didn’t watch this movie when it was released because friends said it was slow, tiresome and boring. Their comments surprised me because I had read the book series and loved it. I didn’t want to ruin the books by seeing a poorly constructed movie. You gentlemen have encouraged me to give it a go. Jolly good.
As a fellow film lover and filmmaker, I found this to be a refreshing take on film discussion. They do more than review films or rattle off a series of trivia nuggets. This is two good friends talking through some of their favorite topics. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend you check Cinema: A to B out!
