Tonight’s Tomatometer score: This is Spinal Tap

Tonight’s Tomatometer score: This is Spinal Tap

Let’s make it short – not many people here in Austria do know Spinal Tap; when you mention it to your British or American friends though, there is a grin on their face instantly …

The Tomatometer shows a critics score of 95 %; and an audience score of 92 %. Doesn’t that make you curious?

On cinema crazed, Felix Vaasquez says in his review: “Reiner’s rock mockumentary is the gold standard for musical satire, and one that hasn’t shown a single wrinkle. Director Rob Reiner’s “This is Spinal Tap” has set the template for any and all future mock documentaries, and as a parade of raw comedic talent paired with classic comic tragedy, it offers up a ton of laughs, and a story of great substance.”

What more do we need to know? Let’s check it out!

Get some dinner from Kiwi Küche first, then watch the movie at 8.30 pm. See you later!

Why the Band’s ‘The Last Waltz’ Is the Greatest Concert Movie of All Time

Why the Band’s ‘The Last Waltz’ Is the Greatest Concert Movie of All Time, explained by David Fear in rollingstone.com – read more here.

The Band’s final concert was given on Thanksgiving 1975, with turkey dinners served to the crowd in a big ballroom in San Francisco. For many fans it has become a Thanksgiving tradition: An annual viewing of The Band’s The Last Waltz.

Although it’s not Thanksgiving yet, we are looking forward to seeing you tonight when Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Ron Wood and many others play their fairwell concert again on the big screen.

Kiwi Küche will provide for your dinner – they will open their kitchen at 4.30 pm, the film starts at 5.30 pm.

See you later!

Tomorrow will be the big day …

Tomorrow will be the big day … the first film of Sound & Vision 2019 will be on the big screen on 8 pm: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.

The hall has been set up for the screening already, the fridge is filled with beer and wine; a big THANK YOU to all helpers who were there this afternoon to assist and who supported us so far with their Know-How.

Another big THANK YOU to all who volunteered to help us during the Festival at the cash desk, at the bar, behind the scenes — ELFs is only a small filmclub; without you we would not be able to run a Festival like Sound & Vision!

And the third big THANK YOU goes to all sponsors who are supporting us – hopefully we will see some of you watching one of the films!

Now all that is left is to hope everything runs smooth …

ENJOY SOUND & VISION with us – see you there!
