Conquer Club

For a number of years now, I've seen mainly kid's movies (cos I hav kids, duh) -but thanks to kidsitter Shona, we went to see THE BANK JOB tonight.

I was completely blown away. It was wonderful. Funny, thrilling, tense, horrifying, throw in any adjective you like other than boring or something negative, it was all that.

When I get a moment, I'l be posting about some aspects of it on the "accents" thread and the "UK Comedy" thread too, it's relevant to both. But sod waiting for that - just go and see it, it's bloody lovely. Incidentally, it's written by Clement & Le Frenais, a famous parntership for decades whose most recent triumph was the utterly dissimilar "Flushed Away" .

I saw this movie with my friends a while ago and it was really good. I've never seen Jason Stathom (sp?) better. The scenes get very intimate, and I don't mean lovemaking, I mean down on the ground and claustrophobic. A review I read quoted Michael X [sic] "I will not be lectured by the porn king of Soho!" as their favorite line.

oh nice. i've seen trailers for it. i'm always down for a good crime film. i'll check it out.
