he ain't heavy he's my b(r)other

hungover on sunday i rode my hello kitty bike to a lovely brunch at cookshop and then went back home and watched brothers of the head. it's a mockumentary about conjoined twins sold to a music promoter in the 1970s and turned into a freak rock band called bang bang. much of it is rather predictable - they're young, innocent, living in the country, and then they get swept up in the drugs, booze and girls of the scene. i would have liked to see the filmmakers push it a little further, it could have been better, more shocking, crazier... there were a lot of things that happened in the plot that you never get to see - you just see people describe the events. then again, there's nothing more attractive than mystery.

















movie review haiku:

punk rock conjoined twins
best friends and worst enemies
pain becomes music




note:
the soundtrack is quite good.

take off your shirt and stab someone.

so hrh and i went to see three hundo on wednesday at the imax. half naked spartans in crimson capes and little else on a two story screen? sexcellenté!



gerard butler's body is recockulous. there's a totally gratuitous scene where he's naked and gazing at a frighteningly enormous full moon and it is the full moon, if you know what i mean. the movie is action packed, dramatic and bloody fun, even if a couple of scenes are like, dude, i saw this standing-in-the-field-of-wheat-thing like seven years ago.



this movie may not be politcally correct, culturally sensitive or historically accurate, but it was tense, entertaining and beautifully rendered, often looking like a painting.




and so we proceed to the movie review haiku:


with muscles bulging
the king shouts, this is sparta!
i say, this is hot.

movie review haiku - the prestige

magicians battle
try to out wit and amaze
in other words: yawn.

scores with a twisted thriller
that never lets up
