Rocknrolla – Part 1 of a planned trilogy by Guy Ritchie. The writer director of the awesome Snatch and Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels. If you haven’t seen them, go out of your way to see ‘em…now…seriously, I’ll wait………..

Ok, now that that’s out of the way Rocknrolla is very similar…only not as good or funny. It was good enough to keep you watching but I’m not sure if that’s because I was giving it the benefit of the doubt due to his(Guy) past success or if the movie was actually good. I do know it didn’t get really interesting until the last 30-45 minutes. Which coincidentally featured by far the most interesting character.

I will also say that I am looking forward to it’s subsequent sequels…if they ever get made.

Dragon Inn – Crappy McCrap crap. Starring Donnie Yen and some other people I have zero interest in looking up. I did not finish it. Storyy was uninteresting, fight scenes were even worse with horrible editing. I don’t mind wire-fu, but this is the movie you would point to if you wanted to show how much it fuckin’ sucks. Pass!

Watched a couple of movies…shocking I know. Two completely different movies at that. The first being a classic movie from 1962. That movie being…

The Manchurian Candidate – Starring Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra, and Angela Lansbury. The gist of the story is a former Korean War POW(Raymond Shaw) is brainwashed by Communists into becoming an assassin. Decent acting by all, especially Laurence Harvey as the lead character. Other soldiers under the command of Shaw during the war begin experiencing nightmare’s that reveal the brainwashing sessions which eventually lead Maj. Bennett Marco(Sinatra) to Shaw. It all culminates into a crushing ending which leaves you feeling a little cold inside. A definite rental that I may eventually pick up for my collection.

The second movie is the Pineapple Express. Weed humor galore and every fuckin’ bit of it was hilarious. The movie was so damn quotable. A lot of seriously funny laugh out loud moments. Watched it with three friends and there was rarely a moment where we weren’t laughing. I’ll definitely be picking this one up.
