Tuesday film and curry night

So film fanatics, last night’s second ever Tuesday film and curry night was a double bill of chicken balti and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Adapted from some very successful books, it’s the story of the three Baudelaire children trying to escape the clutches of their villainous (geographically) closest relative, Count Olaf, after the death of their parents in a mysterious fire…


It’s a funny “kids” film (with Jim Carrey – sigh) that actually turned out to be horrible, clever (should that be horribly clever?), entertaining and thoughtful in equal measure…

Just a couple of my fave moments...

Billy Connolly's cameo as one of their mad but loveable distant relatives.

And Lemony Snicket as the narrator telling us that: “Sanctuary... is a word which here means a small, safe place in a troubling world. Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea.”
