It was worth braving the unseasonably vile weather a week last Monday night for the post-film feel-good factor (writes J.H.). Paddington, (Dir. Paul King) brought a smile to everyone's face, even the couple sitting next to me who had seen it once before. I don't blame them - I'd see it again - if I needed cheering up.

What a line up of stars! Paddington's voice was by the wonderful Ben Whishaw. Hugh Bonneville as Mr. Brown, played the ultimate boring Risk Analyst, who discovers that a bear in the house increases one's risk by 70 per cent. Julie Walters, the 'daily' with a Scottish accent who knew him in his wild youth, and Sally Hawkins, his off-the-wall arty wife. Nicole Kidman played an evil taxidermist dressed in S.S. leather jacket with impossibly high heels, and Jim Broadbent portrayed an elderly German brought over in the war on a kinder transport. "My body arrived....it took my heart a little longer to catch up."

But wasn't this film really a gentle reminder that we are all living in a multi-racial society with new immigrants arriving every day? Well, I think that was the message in the marmalade, but how hilarious they made the message! And how incredibly good are computer generated graphics! A few sequences had something of 'Wallace and Gromit' about them, and somebody else thought there were borrowings from 'Home Alone.' Either way, it was mostly original, the pace was fast and furious, (except when it was deliberately thoughtful and heart-rending), and, best of all, it was fully multi-racially British!

Our next film on Monday, June 15, The Hundred Foot Journey, starring Helen Mirren. An Indian family open a restaurant in France, only to discover that they are in direct opposition to the Michelin starred establishment down the road. All are welcome to come along at 7.30 for 8 pm start, or earlier to enjoy a themed supper . (Bookable in advance with Fourcroft).
