Got an email from Psychologies Mag:

Oh yes, we sat in front of you at Swan Lake and yes you would have seen her at the Q&A.

I think she should be part of the 100 Films myself, she's seen The Help one more time than me!

That's a better response than I got from my email. They just said they were glad I liked the film and ignored the rest.

Just back from screening of The Help at Braehead. I was really looking forward to this film and wasn't disappointed. I definitely felt the second half of the film was better as the story was more settled and did not move about as in the 1st half. The characters were well-developed and the acting from all was excellent. A long film of almost 2hrs 30mins and yet the time passed without notice. This film should be compulsory viewing for all teenagers to get a realistic view of life in the early 1960s, particularly in USA.
Surprised that cinema was just over 1/2 full although that could be down to the number of screenings around.

Marks 8.5/10

Last minute decision based on traffic when I reached Helen St. I know MGP didn't start 'til later but I couldn't be bothered with traffic.

Ta for keeping seat for me! :thanks:

Had ticket for MGP on 1st Nov. in Paisley but now may go Parkhead Forge on Monday as I haven't been there for years.
