Weekend at the Movies
It's been a short week here in Ptown but I managed to squeeze two movies into the fray thanks to the downtown offerings of The Movies and the Nick and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed on both outings.
Gangs of New York is the sort of movie experience you spend $15 dollars on. Big, bold, long, and best enjoyed with a wealth of popcorn and a gallon of pop. This, my friends, is what the Movies is all about. It was harsh and bloody. It was sometimes hard to stomach. But it was so fucking good it hurt. Daniel Day-Lewis was absolutely amazing as Bill the Butcher. Go see it. Now!
Rabbit Proof Fence is the story of three aboriginal girls who are taken away from their home to be 'educated' by the white folk. They escape and attempt to make their way back home along the 1000+ mile fence built to keep rabbit's on one side and the crops on the other. The story is amazing (and true) and the scenery is gorgeous and the music is grand. What more could you ask for?
