my usual movie review methodology involves tapping someone wildly on the shoulder with one hand, gesticulating excitedly with the other hand or a beer in aforementioned hand, & trying - whilst exuberantly prop-giving the film - to remember to not reveal that bjorks' character dies at the end (true story). however, with the burden of distance at my disposal, i seem to require a more traditional approach. so...
CHILDREN OF MEN
me n ash n rach headed out to see this saturday nite in leceister square, at the prince charles cinema (i guess he's a sponsor of some sort; haven't seen him there tho). i had already downloaded the film, but decided after hearing a few things that this was worth holding out for on the 'big screen' (me n ash watched in again at home sunday nite).
i can't say much at all about the things i liked about this film without giving u ideas that'd be better received as an unpreconceived punch in the face, but lemme say that this film was so pleasing to me on so many levels; i'm sure that if anyone shares even one of those appreciations with me u'll get yr moneys worth. this film is so beautiful that after watching it i'm actually going to go back & watch the harry potter film alfonso cuaron did, & i've been avoiding that franchise like the plague til now. catfish?
i'm starting 2 think clive owen is a pretty solid actor too. after initially seeing him in closer (thank u jenny) i've since seen him in sin city (what's not to like?) & king arthur (shocking, terrible - but great male ensemble actors- joel edgerton, mads mikkelsen, stellan skarsgard, ray winstone - oright!) i reckon clive's got the goods anyways. wonder if he got asked 2 do bond?
anyways, go see this one. ok, here's three (not reely spoily) things in the movie i liked: in the court of the crimson king, cover of animals, 10 minutes 1 camera. holy moley!

I've been following your blog for quite some time now & whilst I find it interesting & amusing, most of the time I don't understand what you are saying.
Is English your first language?
rok n rawl is my first language darling. unzip yr tight language pants matey.
Rok n Rawl?
More like Hip Hop with Tourettes?
I took your advice & lowered my
tight language pants, only to find myself
etymologically raped, anally agglutinated
& proclitically blown, (& I don’t even have a clit?)
Whilst initially a little nervous & tentative, I soon
revelled in the phonetic promiscuity & retroflex freedom of it,
tongue lashing maidens & forming clause unions with the lads
until I was tongue tied.
So much more interesting than the meditation,
chanting & penances we normally do.
So, Kewl ma man ho. Wear yaw liven at? Krooze O fo sum fun?
Har har. I got yr number matey...[pirate impersonation ends]
