    Um, well I guess it was fast and amusing

    A small very tough story, right in line with Mike Leigh's other work. The shocking portrait of mental health affecting a family stops short - I hope there is an Act 2!

    Wears well, with its wacky old Hollywood cast and terrific analog effects. And even though not lots of suffering or gore, lots of on-screen bodies and major character deaths. Doomy fun that launched a disaster movie fad and, later, satires like the hilarious Airplane!

    Bravo!  Vastly entertaining look at movies that have filmed in the state since the silent era.  Sadly unreleasable due the myriad of rights issues but seek out an industry screening and applaud the fine work done here over the years with more to come.
