So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
She used to work in a diner / never saw a woman look finer / I used to order just to watch her float across the floor — Neil Young, Unknown Legend |

V for Vendetta was playing at the Hollywood Theatre tonight, so off I went.
Reviews of the film were generally mediocre, so I had some difficulty with the concept of plunking down 12 of my hard earned dollars to see it in first run. Four dollars seemed about right.
Generally, I’d say the movie was not as stylish as the trailers made it out to be — it seemed a little flat visually. The story was a bit oversimplified and full of cliches.
It says something when the credits the graphic novel’s illustrator, but not the author. Alan Moore wrote the original, and distanced himself from the film — not a good movie has ever been made of Moore’s rich, complicated stories. This is no exception, but it is perhaps the best yet.
At the end of the night it just left me feeling somewhat blah. It certainly didn’t match the Wachowski Brothers Matrix films.
Oh yeah, while I was in that movie North Carolina won the Stanley Cup. So much for the late blooming Edmonton Oilers.
