Oh crikey, went to the cinema today under the mistaken impression that they were showing 'The Damned United', but they weren't. The book's a decent page turner and I thought I'd reward myself for a few days' labour redecorating my house by going to see a film. They start showing that particular film tomorrow, but I thought, seeing as I'd come all the way to the cinema and fancied seeing something that I'd watch a film anyway.
The film I saw was 'Knowing'. I'd implore people not to see this film, it's a fair old waste of your time. It's a kind of weird mash-up of horror, sci-fi and father/son relationship movie and it's just crap. I've never been convinced that Nicholas Cage was any sort of decent actor, and it's just a bit of a stretch to believe that he's supposed to be a professor at MIT like he's supposed to be. In fact, I think it's as big a stretch as believing that Keanu Reeves is a shit-hot intelligent lawyer like he's supposed to be in 'The Devil's Advocate'. I feel like I actually punished myself for redecorating my house by going through and watching this film.
I'm looking forward to seeing 'Let The Right One In' on the basis of the trailer. I don't know much about the film, but the trailer looked bloody eerie.
