Kingdom of heaven/The Jacket

saw two films with the gang this weekend that i thought were worth a mention. (unlike the truly abominable xXx2:The next pissing level which i was dragged to last week)

Kingdom of Heaven- In Summary, great but not quite as great as gladiator. Too much a clone of the latter to really leap out and grab you by the balls with surprise. Plus as much as dear old Ridley tries, he doesn't get any of those wondeful soundbites quite right. There's nothing to match 'Are you not entertained?' or 'Shadows and dust'.
However i do believe in places the visuals begin to surpass what gladiator did, after all, that didn't have nearly so much scale in terms of the battles depicted therin. The seige of Jerusalem is handled very well, as is the battle out in the desert. well worth a look.

The Jacket- now that's what i'm talking about! this was much more my sort of thing altogether. In Fact, money no object, Red Morning light may well have come out very similar to the jacket, admittedly only five minutes long but similar none the less. Adrein Brody seems to be very good at playing the emaciated wreck, he did it in the pianist and he's doing it again here. And Keira Knightleys american acent proves surprisingly good and rather amourous to boot (*letch letch*)
Go see, and ignore any shit reviews, they don't know what their on about.

todays music: Dead Fly Buckowski-Ground Nero
