LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE ****; THE QUEEN ****; PIERREPOINT ***; THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN ***

I saw all these movies travelling to and from Kenya - three of them on the same flight!

I thought THE QUEEN, even in an Emirates Airline censored version (no mentions of the word God allowed) was great, and very interesting about the Queen's instinct for privacy and for not showing emotion versus the media and public demand for a public display of grief for Diana.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE was great fun, and lovely in the way in which it gets you rooting for all the characters in this weird family. The ending took me by surprise.

I also enjoyed THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN - a true story about an elderly New Zealander (played by Anthony Hopkins) determined to race his Indian motorbike on the salt flats in Utah, and PIERREPOINT - about the last English hangman, played by the ever-excellent Timothy Spall.
