The title today of course is inspired by the mofo snakes on that mofo plane in that Samuel L Jackson movie out at the moment, and what does the L stand for anyways. Have seen three good movies the last three weekends - Brick, United 93 and Thank You For Smoking - and you don't often associate August movies with quality.
Smoking was good but not fantastic - not laugh out loud funny as I hoped it would be - or maybe I was just intimidated that there were only three other people in the cinema with me, a mid afternoon Monday session, didn't want to appear to be too loud or something.
Am sure I can go downmarket next weekend though - either Snakes On A Plane or Clerks 2. Dogma was Kevin Smith's last good movie, from what I have heard Clerks 2 is a run away lest ye have thine eyes burnt out kind of disaster. There is a horse sex scene in it apparently, and that's all I had to hear to never want to see it.
Quality movie wise, Jindabyne is supposed to be good, but it has been running a while now, whether it is still on next week is the question. And, like Match Point earlier in the year, one of those critically acclaimed ones that eh, I'm not sure I can really get a lot of enthusiasm up to actually go watch, to pass on those mofo snakes in the multiplex.
We will see, no doubt.
