A-hem

Alright, alright, alright. So clearly my original attempt at blogging failed quite miserably, mostly due to my own inability to stay focused on more than one thing for more than eight seconds before being distracted by a shiny object and then forgetting, much like that perennial forgetter, the goldfish. Or perhaps a magpie, though that would be unlucky, so two magpies at least would be required for this metaphor to work. Not that it was a metaphor; simile is closer to the mark.

I suppose I should make a brief nod to my earlier intentions by listing some of the movies I've seen in recent months, with three-word reviews:

3. The Reader - Unfair, conflicting, saddening
4. Slumdog Millionaire - Uplifting, well-shot, original
5. Open Water 2: Adrift - Stupid, ambiguous, deserved
6. Young Victoria - Rupert, costumes, Bettany
7. Australia - Melodramatic, Kidman annoying
8. Bruno - Really bloody funny
10. Cassandra's Dream - Different and good
11. The Duchess - What a bitch
12. Gone Baby Gone - Casey Affleck's gorgeous
13. Heathers - Oldie but goldie
14. The King and the Clown - Brilliant, Korean, historical
15. Revolutionary Road - Running scene corny
16. The Wrestler - Alright, I guess
17. Yes Man - Zooey Deschanel, hmm!

So now I fly away like a bird of many colours towards the open sky when the door of the cage has accidentally been left ajar because Auntie Mabel called from Scarborough. Soon enough the reviews will resume!

EDIT 18/10/11:: As this blog has become much more stable since the early days, I am currently going through the process of redoing these three-word blogs into much longer ones. They will be disappearing from this list and reappearing in the blog tags as I do so.
