CINEMA SCENE “Went to see “ST. VINCENT” yesterday and loved it. A simple story but so well told. I absolutely can’t stand Melissa McCarthy but I thought she was good in a dramatic role. As for Bill Murray, he deserves an Award of some kind - either The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies a Golden Globe Best Actor or an Oscar. I have never been a fan of him (or more precisely his movies) such as “Stripes” etc but he has ‘become of age’ in The final chapter of Peter Jackson’s dramatic roles. I admit to shedding a tear at the end of the movie. epic adaptation of I don’t recall hearing the “F” word and in fact no objectionable language at J.R.R. Tolkien’s The all - what a strange experience!!!!” Rex in Australia. Hobbit.
