The book was actually really good, one of those rare ones where the movie is just as good if not better than the book.

While we're on the subject of British gangster movies, I watched this one last night, but I need to go back and watch it again because I was distracted by work.

The Limey does take a couple of watches for sure. The fractured editing is brilliant but infuriating for some.

Where the fuk do these movies come from?

Is it me............?

I know, it looks retarded, but it's not that sort of movie.

Every now and then I got through a phase where I like to watch conspiracy documentaries. I think the problem with this one (besides the obvious) is that it tried to blend two different schools of thought into one body. On the one side you have the Obama haters who think he's a liar, the other side you have the group of conspiracy nuts who believe he's the puppet for a New World Order. The people that make up the first side generally don't believe the idea of a covert shadow government made up of International Bankers is out to create a United World Government, and thus think that the documentary is just about the lies that Obama has allegedly told. They then see the documentary fold out into a huge global conspiracy theory and are immediately put off. It killed two hours of time and I can't say that I've watched worse, but I did take everything it said with a grain of salt. That said it did rekindle my urge to learn how to safely own and operate a firearm as well as learn at least one form of martial art.

Really a beautiful film.

The Dillinger flick - "Public Enemies". I wasn't super excited to see it and it exceeded expectations.
I definitely learned some things and it was was an entertaining 2 hours.
It was well done and not overdone. I think the cast was good all around from Depp and Bale, to the female lead and the guy who played Hoover.
The Tommy Gunns sounded great. They always make me think of Topper Headen and Joe Strummer. I wonder if they really sounded just as they did in the film.

Oh I also saw Changeling on DVD recently. I also enjoyed that more than I expected.
I didn't realize it was directed by C. Eastwood (and orig. to be dir. by R. Howard but he had a sched. conflict).
The ensemble was good in this one too from Jolie, to her friend in the hospital, to the police chief, to the child from Canada (I don't want to give anything away).
And it was also an unexpected pleasure to see J. Malkovich in an interesting supporting role.

I just saw Road to Perdition for the first time. I don't often watch films and this was until yesterday one of the woeful voids in my viewing experience. Anyway it's definitely something special.

I just saw the new Harry Potter. I read all the book and this movie's really nothing special compared to the book. Don't waste your money.

To what end?
