Frank Miller Day

Today Christine, John, James, Sean, and I went to the Plymouth Vue (the best cos they do Cocacola not Pepsi ;)) Cinema to watch a couple of Frank Miller films - Sin City and Batman Begins :)

Both great films, although the review I saw in Felix (Imperial College Newspaper) about Sin City making Kill Bill look like the Carebears wasn't too far from the truth, it's a pretty brutal movie... Great cast though, can't fault their choices of Elijah Wood and Devon Aoki as two of the most brutal killers in the film. Also have to say, this is a beautiful beautiful film, provided that your idea of beauty is black and white with a lot of shadows and the odd splash of primary colours :)

Batman Begins is easier to write about... Basically you'll like this if you're a fan of Batman. It goes without saying that Michael Caine is brilliant as Alfred, but I'll say it anyway: Michael Caine is brilliant as Alfred; and if you're going to watch the film just for that then you won't be disapointed, it's no small cameo, he's in it throughout :) It's a pretty good film, not as dark as I'd like perhaps, but not a bad film at all... Go out and see it sometime. Man I suck at critiquing, I'm too nice about stuff :P

So schedule from now on... Tomorrow's Christine's birthday so taking her out for some Chinese food, should be fun, then on Wednesday Gary and Carmen are (I believe, nobody tells me anything) coming to stay for a week.

Keep reading and leaving those comments, thanks to everyone who's already left one :) Bye for now~

  • My arse I'm going to your house to stay for a week. Who the hell told you that? cos they were LYING.

    I'm going to Alton Towers on Thursday and that cost me £35.. and I'm not giving that up.

    I've already yelled at Gary and there's no way in hell I'm going to be there in the next few weeks, 'cos my room is being cleared out.

    I'm sorry. I'm not angry at you... just :@ at other people

  • Oh right, fair enough -_- Well Gary said something about going for a week and I thought he was coming when you were. Sorry
