Thought I'd write a little review of the film.

Directed by: Spike Lee
Written by: Russell Gewirtz
Cast: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Plummer, Peter Gerety, Peter Frechette, Jason Manuel Olazabal, Darryl 'Chill" Mitchell, Ashlie Atkinson
Studio: Universal
Genre: Crime
Official Site: www.theinsideman.net

THE PLOT )

From the moment it started I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy this film. It opens with Clive Owen explaining some things about the robbery, the how, what, where and when basically. I had originally thought that the film would be about the investigation after the robbery, but was pleased to discover that it was more about the robbery itself and the aftermath of what had happened. It was a very enjoyable film, with brains, which I feel is a very long time since I've seen in this type of film. The audience is served clues as we go along and I think that was done in a very good way. If I have a complaint about the film it is that it ends kind of suddenly. I'm not saying that something was missing, but I felt the need for there to be one or two more small scenes to wrap the whole thing up. That being said it is definetly a movie worth watching.
The performances were good, but how could thay fail with actors like that. I've been seing more of Ejiofor lately and I really think he's on his way up the ladder. I just hope Hollywood will be able to see this. 
There's not really much else I can say; it's a good movie with good actors, and it should be watched.

After my last post I was pretty much ready for bed, was really tired... but ended up watching the last hour of "Kill Bill vol. 1" in the study room with some people. Should rather have continued chatting with [livejournal.com profile] beluga .

Thursday was a long day at school we did some editing, actually think I'm about finished, just have to get the teacher to have a look at it, tell me that it's all wrong, and give it another try. :P
In the evening I was not in the mood to do anything special, ended up back in the study room and watched "Kill Bill vol. 1" again. This time there were more of us, and I just love some of the reactions they had. Especially to the last line in the movie, think they were ready to run to the cinema to watch "Vol. 2".
Afterwards Jan, me and Camelia started watching "Storm Riders", a chinese fantasy, film. Jan left in the middle since he had to go to work the next morning. Me and Camelia watched the whole thing. Must admit that I was bored out of my mind for the first 30mins of the movie, but then it got a bit interesting, very simple movie, but I liked some of the effects.

Yesterday I got my period and spent most of the day in bed, was totally wiped out. Tried doing some work on my essay and have about 400 words now... out of the required 2000, still have 17 days to finish it tho.
In the evening Camelia went out, I watched telly: "EastEnders", "My Family", "Friends", "Will and Grace" and "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross". Jonathan Ross was interviewing Clive Owen, who's playing Arthur in the upcoming "King Arthur" movie. He's one of the people who's been tipped as the next Bond. He might actually be able to do it, but I'm not to keen on him... it's not like when I heard Pierce was getting the role and thought "perfect!".

Today I slept late, just took it easy. Had a quick trip out to buy some goodies and top up my phone. So far that's it for today.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to feel good enough to go up to Milton Keys, to CM5. Had half a mind to not go, but have promised Isen to get 3 autographs for her, so I don't want to let her down.
