I realise it looks like I just like every film I see.
But then I've only reviewed 2 so I'll make sure I give the next one a bad review
Fri nite went to see Oceans Eleven.
Fabulous. GO and see it.
I liked it so much my trousers bounced.
Shame about the bloody Stereotypical Cockney Bloke
Amores Perros (translation - Love is a Bitch)
Took this out on Valentines Night (Olga's choice - a good title for the occasion I thought). Absoulutely fucking superb film.
If you don't believe me then checkout the Review on Empire: "Brilliantly directed, written, photographed and acted, this is first-rate filmmaking, horrific and tender, raw and lyrical. Trust us, you need to see this."
Plagarism on the internet? I don't believe it.
