    Wide Blue Yonder DVD Release Date?

    I'm not sure people realize this, but you can actually watch Wide Blue Yonder (2010) for free online at wideblueyonderthemovie.com. I don't know when this site became available, but I streamed the whole movie for free a couple of days ago and all I had to do was basically enter my name and email address.

    But why is this movie so hard to find and not available on DVD or anything? I saw it at the Emden Film Festival when I was visiting some friends and keep waiting for it to become available on Netflix here but it never does. I love these kind of quirky indie Euro movies, so this was right up my alley. You will not even believe how crazy Brian Cox looks and acts in this movie! He doesn't usually do comedies like this, so this is a pleasant surprise because he's actually really funny and goofy in the movie. To me, the acting was really good and the writing was sharp so I don't get why people haven't seen or heard about this movie.

    ALL AT SEA Totally watchable film.

    I like this film because it works for me on many levels. The basic story line is that a sailor named Skip has died and wanted to be buried at sea. This is not the done thing this century so the authorities have organized a proper church yard burial. However his life long friend Wally wants the sea burial to happen and stealing the corpse is the way to make this happen.

    Writer director Robert Young and his producers have set out to make a little story told well and they have succeeded. It's a sensible use of film funding money which was able to attract Brian Cox , Lauren Bacall and James Fox.

    The script has some good laughs and the support characters look and act well.

    If given the opportunity this is the sort of film I would like to make.

    All At Sea

    For reasons that are not immediately clear, this has only just (in 2019) had a release at cinemas in the UK and to be honest, it isn't really a cinema film. The comedic performances by Brian Cox are all the more appreciable because they are so unlike anything he has done elsewhere; his dancing around in his underwear (and we are not talking Calvin Klein, here!) cannot help but make you smile. Otherwise it is a gentle old-age rebellion film with occasional appearances by Lauren Bacall with James Fox making for a decent, if rather typecast, foil to Cox. Ideal for telly between Christmas and New Year to make you feel good.

    Brian Cox presented a spectacular show as a sailor and Lauren Baca was spectacular as always. It was a fun movie.

    A fun film with great names

    This is a very fun film that goes overboard (yep, a pun) far too often. It's too bad. It could have been an excellent film about smart feisty older folk who take charge of their own lives when eejits try to overrule them to prove their power and make more money.

    That said, there were some bursts of brilliance, thank goodness! And many good laughs. One of the best was the opening scene. It was a great action scene (YES!! I said action scene - it's all relative).

    Brian Cox is at his uninhibited Scottish best.

    This is a fun film to watch to just watch. Don't take anything too seriously. If only there had been a bit more care to take out the slapstick, it could have been a great one! Enjoy it anyway!
