Today, I went to see two films at the Odean Cinema in town. I love the “Pirates Of The Carrabean” films. Lol, the thought of my great grandfather came to my mind. He was a tall blonde gentleman who reminded me of a pirate when I looked at some of his photographs.
Re my #shipwreck photograph. I enjoyed a lovely holiday inย #Zante a few years ago. To reach Shipwreck Beach (Navagio Beach), I took a boat tour from Zakynthos Town.
This evening, I attended the Showcase Cinema to watch: Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. I have been an avid follower of the franchise, and I can say that this final episode did not disappoint.
It was wonderful to see the original cast members from the first two films.
My favorite character in the film is Lady Mary. I found it interesting to observe how divorce was quite frowned upon during the 1930s.
The film starred Michelle Dockery and Hugh Bonneville. It was great to see the tribute paid to the late Maggie Smith, who was a remarkable actress. RIP Dame Maggie Smith.
I am feeling quite emotional now re it being the final episode. I felt the same when the TV series “Upstairs, Downstairs” ended.
I highly recommend you watch the film.
Ps There was one part right at the end of the film that I did not quite understand when the name Sybil was mentioned. I was a little lost. ๐

This evening, I attended a screening at the Showcase Cinema, of “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which starred Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey. It is a film I have greatly been looking forward to watching. The film was exceptional from beginning to end. I particularly enjoy films that feature engaging action, compelling drama, and impressive special effects, and this film delivered on all those fronts.
I did not realize until the very end that the film was directed by Mr Steven Spielberg, who just so happens to be one of my favourite filmmakers. I have appreciated his work over the years and was fully captivated throughout the viewing of this film tonight. It was excellent, excellent, and excellent!:)
I have photographed the huge dinosaur at the History Museum and at the Peterborough Cathedral over the past few years. Therefore, I was very happy to go and watch this film tonight.
Thank you, Mr Spielberg, for not failing to entertain me with your films over the years. ๐
I was also thrilled to bits to hear that John Williams arranged the musical score. He’s superb. ๐

For those who know me well, they are aware that I enjoy watching romantic comedy films from time to time. I had not seen a good romcom in quite some time, so I was pleasantly surprised when I watched “Materialists” this evening, as this romcom met my expectations. ๐
I am pleased to give it a positive review, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal delivered compelling performances that kept my attention throughout.
I particularly appreciated the filmโs underlying message about the potential risks associated with using dating agencies, especially since I grew up in an era when such agencies did not exist. While these agencies have helped many people find their life partners, it is important to also consider the potential dangers involved.
Overall, it was an excellent film. ๐

I very recently went to watch the #DisneyFilm #FreakierFriday, which starred Jamie Lee Curtis. Lol It was a very “girly” lightearted film. I can remember watching the very first #FreakyFriday film, which starred Jodie Foster. I loved that film too. ๐
Ps I loved sitting in a reclining chair at the Odeon, with my popcorn. โบ๏ธ
I also went to watch Superman last week, which starred David Correnswet. I loved that it showed a sweeter side to Superman, particularlyย when he saved a small animal from deaths harm. #SoLovelyToSee.ย I really enjoyed the film, although I did miss Henry Cavill. However, personally speaking, I think Henry would make a brilliant James Bond.ย ๐

Q. What sort of films do you enjoy watching SmileyRose?
A. That’s easy to answer. I love comedy. Sci-fI, thrillers, westerns, war, action, supernatural, police, law, musical, magical, and if you combine any of those genres with a little romance and a Rose like female, I โค๏ธ.
Let me elaborate a little more. There doesn’t have to be bedroom scenes. There doesn’t have to be kissing. Sometimes, just “a look” can say it all. Or I love romantic gestures and quotes in films. I simply love romance. ๐
The genre I am least likely to enjoy is horror or films that are too sexually explicit. I like Rose like female characters. Films filled with swearing, unless a little funny or to show frustration in anger. I can cope with a little.
Most of all, I love children’s films. I adore Disney. That’s me in a nutshell. ๐
I have been a fan of Paddington Bear ever since I was a little girl. I loved the film.
It is true to say that I shall miss Ethan Hunt…after all of these years (29 Years to be precise). ๐ช
I went to watch the “The Final Reckoning” – Mission Impossible film this evening at the Showcase Cinema. I won’t be a spoiler, however I loved the film. There were occasions when I could feel myself gripping the edge of my seat.
A #MustWatch film.
How will we all survive without Ethan?
This has been my ring tone for so many years.
