Guy Ritchie has risen from the gallows

I've been counting the days for the boring Halloween holiday to arrive. It seems most times there isn't anything really exciting to do on Halloween anymore. A real holiday for the kids. The irony is I am still afflicted with shame as I don't have anything real to do on a holiday. Don't know why. It's sick really, but it seems embarrassing and introverted to sit at home and watch TV for any holiday. At the very least a good few drinks at the local dive should suffice. It would be fine if my pockets weren't in the dire straights at the moment.
So my Dama and I tossed around the idea of going to Hollywierd for a parade. We made it as far as a semi-decent rice bowl restaurant called Flame Broiler. It wasn't memorable to say the least, but it did feed the beast. I guess the idea of driving forty-five minutes to Hollywood and more than likely an hour and a half back home didn't really hold sway. Especially if the afore mentioned parade has the ever possibility to be entirely homosexual.
By the time we made it home we decided to catch a double feature. I was in kind of a zombie mode to tell you the truth. I knew we had to do something, but honestly the clouds rolled over my head and I simply could not dodge them. A regular thunderstorm. There wasn't anything that could have sounded fun just shy of a beer and even then I would have had to be slapped to attention. We went to a movie.
There's something to be said for simple horror movies. Saw V is exactly that. Simple. It's probably the best way to put it. The only character to be truly developed is the Jigsaw killer. The gore is awesome and the twists are surprisingly catchy, but seriously Saw V? Really? How many times can you make a movie about a straight up serial killer who plays games and has no ending what so ever. I don't get it except to say maybe we are like the Romans in the arena. We need blood and violence and the Saw series fills the void. I'm not ashamed to have seen this movie. To tell you the truth this horse trollop of a movie wasn't bad. Also it makes my girlfriend happy to see all forms of horror films and as the old saying goes, "If she's happy, then I'm happy." She was so I am.
The second feature of which we helped our selves to a nice sneak and view was RocknRolla. I was already excited and anticipating this film when we went in to see Saw V. I was a little groggy from the last one mostly because I was laying down and casually watching. So we get into the theatre room after a long intermission ( Bathroom breaks). Right off the bat the intro begins with a narrator introducing the film. 30 seconds in BOOM the hard rock music starts and the title rolls in. I know it's an awesome movie. I know Guy Ritchie has done it again. This movie had it all from plot twists to comedy to the ever popular cockney wit. It even had the right amount of action. I loved it. Truth be told I've been pretty disappointed with Ritchies last film, Revolver. It was just lackluster. I made myself watch it after 10 minutes. With RocknRolla, it was a trip right back to Lock Stock and Snatch. Maybe he's a one trick pony, but I gotta say that one trick is awesome. It's inspiring. I was inspired to come home directly and write this very blog because we both sat through this great film.
I woke up immediately and sat wide eyed the entire time. It was well written, well scripted and well acted. So in the end, the damning effects of a gloomy holiday were shaken off with a jolt. I'm home now and it's 10p as I'm writing this and I feel better. I probably sound geeky or even down right boring, but we both had a good time and it was well worth it.
