I'm at work. I've been here for 10 minutes. Nobody emailed me, so I feel my pre-coffee, even-more-undiluted-than-usual-urge to communicate with the world. And today this urge translates into the very rarest of communiques -- a movie review.
Yesterday my friends and I watched "War of Lords". It probably hasn't come out anywhere yet except English speaking countries. In any case, the movie was... without spoiling it for anyone... exceptional. Mais pourquois, you ask? Because in spite of being full of the usual Hollywood crap (which alas, is a lot of why I watch) it was able to relay an underlying truth about the world. As fantastic as it was (and I mean that in the literal sense), it was also realistic. Realistic to the point of depression, maybe... but certainly at least realistic to the point of awareness. It was a new cinematographic spin on a very old story... and I must say I recommend it to the general populace, and especially to the American one, which is slightly less acquainted, overall, to international afairs.
