What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

PICTURE OF THE YEAR!

Finally got some free time for film this week, checking out Tim Burton's "Big Fish" with Gil and "Mystic River" with Jeff. While I found "Fish" delightful (Burton's first movie about actual people), I strongly urge each and every one of you to check out "Mystic River" -- easily the most powerful film I've seen this year. I found myself practically shaking with anger as the end credits began rolling and I loved feeling so challenged by a film. The performances range from Oscar-grubbing showy to beautifully subtle, with Tim Robbins a particular surprise. I haven't liked him this much since "The Shawshank Redemption." Go take in a matinee!
