My wife had to go to OKC for a work-connected convention and I had Sunday to myself. I started the day by going to Chouteau to attend worship at a Church that we are beginning a project. I idea is to see their personality and design according to there lives not our own. After that I came back to town and did a few chores and went to the movies. When going to the flicks by myself, I try to pick a movie that would appeal to me but maybe not my wife. I passed on the slasher hold-overs from Halloween and I shunned the comedies , "Role Model and "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". After all I am too old for these and if I went, I wouldn't tell you. The movie that has had my attention and my choice was "RocknRolla". This is a British/Russian mafia criminal underworld, dark comedy. The director is Guy Ritchie, Madonna's most recent ex-husband. I actually liked it more than James Bond (another British movie). I would tell you what it is about, but it had so many sub plots going, it must be watched in a big dark room.
It is R Rated for language. They do say the F word a jolly bit, but not near as much as USA gangsters. When the British curse, it is almost comical with the accent and all and the Brits tend to know how to have a real dialogue. So I really liked this movie, but cannot recommend it unless you like British dark comedies about crooks! It was a long, witty, fun afternoon in the dark. There was only one other guy in the theater so it was almost a private screening. For me it was a solid ***1/2 stars.
