Oh, this can't be good...

It's just turned 6am and I'm online, I'm suffering from a huge case of insomnia, and have the headache from 'Nam. Infront of me I have a bottle of water, bought from the evil StarMart down the road, and I'm trying to be quiet so as not to wake my flatmate's girlfriend who is sleeping in the room next to the computer.

I honestly, feel like shit.

So, I have decided to do a review post....

Movies
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Now I know I've told some people I wouldn't see this movie, and it has to be said I'm not a huge fan of the Rialto (or George Cloony), but this movie had some very good places. The end, in particular, I liked. This isn't a 'I liked the end because it had come' type scenario, it was more for the fact that it is rare these days that you get a definate, good ending. Although it bored me to death at times, this movie gets 3/5 little gopher dudes.



Save The Last Dance
Three Words: Teenage, soppy, shit. (guess which review I wrote last?) 1/5 little gopher dude.




The Dish
This is from the creators of 'The Castle'. It has to be said that I really wasn't fussed on that movie, but this one is carried out so well, and it's actually based on fact. The only thing that I didn't actually like about this movie was the Australian accents. For anyone who has seen the trailor and thought it looked shit, I suggest you actually see it. I give it 4/5 little gopher dudes.



The Mexican
Two of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt... this movie is worth seeing for it's sex appeal alone I totally enjoyed it. The plot twists so many times, a couple too many say some people, but it leaves you on your toes. My flatmate has compared this movie to 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and I'd be inclined to agree with him. The movie also involves black and white silent film parts explaining the history of 'The Mexican', a gun that Jerry (Pitt) has been sent to find and bring back to his Mob boss. 4/5 little gopher dudes.



Books
Bent Not Broken, Lauren Roche
Life On The Line, Lauren Roche
Most people have heard about these two books; interviews with the author and snippets from the book can be found everywhere from Talkback Radio, to Womans Day to Holmes. These Books are the life story about the author, the majority of which are set in Wellington. The first book details her struggle from being an abused child, a stripper, sex worker, stowaway and finally a doctor. The second her son's peadiophillia, drug addiction, coming out and bankruptcy. These books read very well and have you glued to them, they're amazing, and utterly breathtaking when you remember that they're entirely true. Definately worth a read, I give them both 5/5 little gopher guys.
