The Clapham Picturehouse was showing Secretary at 1pm today as a “second chance screening”. It was something I wanted to see when it came out but never got around to so I figured I would head there and check it out. I was pleased to find it was only £3 in and it wasn’t a bad movie at all.
Great cast led more than ably by Maggie Gyllenhaal and nice to see Patrick Bauchau even if it was for a short time. A couple of times I thought the movie was going to descend into black comedy but while some of it was quite funny it went more for the heart of an S&M relationship. Funny and nicely manages to avoid being in anyway exploitive which given the theme of the movie, they deserve props for.
Walked back to Clapham Junction, stopped by my local comic shop and then home to lay around for the rest of the day. I have to go to the shop in a little while to get something for dinner and then some DVDs I think. Finish off season 1 of The Shield and then into season 3 of The Sopranos. I picked up Superman II for £7.99 yesterday and want to watch that soonish aswell. Also considering watching Terminator and T2 before Thursday.
