Went into the Cathay last night to catch The New World. Yup, “the” Cathay, newly renovated and freshly in possession of a definite article. The building still has the new-building new-coat-of-paint smell to it. Peeked into the Picturehouse after the show ended - boy those seats look great.
As for the film itself, its central lesson seems to be something anyone who’s read People knows: don’t ever fall for Colin Farrell. It’ll screw up your life, cause your family village to be burnt to the ground, that sort of thing. (Or you might get $3 million.)
Good Lord, Q’Orianka Kilcher is only 16 years old? She certainly looked a lot older.
