New corpse for Nunhead Cemetery
Nunhead is not the new Notting Hill.
The film, released this week has variously been described as "slow, ponderous and as shallow as it thinks it is deep," and "an unholy embarrassment." And while you might say the same thing of the Richard Curtis effort, it seems unlikely that Nunhead's gates will rival Hugh Grant's front door on the film-lovers trail any time soon.

I read one review which gave it 10/10,Saying Eastwood was the best living director.
Mark Kermode's just given this the thumbs up (BBC news 24) - though he did describe it as 'deeply flawed'!
There was an interesting piece in the Telegraph, last Friday I think, about the experience of hiring your house to Clint for a scene in Hereafter. He wanted a house in N.London to look just like a house they'd already used in S.London. When asked why they didn't just use the house in S.London, the reply was 'Clint wants it to be near his hotel'. After a day getting the house to match the S.London house, and shooting the (night) scene in one take, Clint posed with neighbours signed autographs and left, as he went he was heard muttering 'it doesn't look anything like the other house'.
yes, I saw that article too! An unbelievable amount of fuss for a 20 second shot.
