Nevertheless, it is good to have a success of any kind and whatever it takes to get the punters in to watch British films. The UK still has problems in accepting our own work as good and providing the distribution network to enable people to see them. If the 21st century is like the last, then American cinema will be dominant. But, given some kind of miracle, the French cinema will survive and what is more, we shall develop a taste to watch European cinema again, sub-titles and all. As the year ends, 'Charlie's Angels' in the number one movie, but then, it would be.
Angels is genuine fun.
The most remarkable thing about watching this film is that you get the feeling that the actors had a great time making this and the audience loved it. Bill Murray was wonderful, each girl was great and it is stupid to compare them to the previous Angels, these Angels have already proved themsleves elsewhere. Can't wait for the next episode. We all need a bit of fluff now and again, something to make us laugh and feel nostalgic and something of an antidote to the hard labour of watching 'Dancer in the Dark'. But as the 'Way of the Gun' shows, we have a dark side too that is worth watching.
