Let's all go to the movies

I haven't been to the cinema for a while as it is a bit pricey in the capital but as I found out yesterday at Cineworld Cinemas it's cheap day Tuesday, so it was a bargain at £5.45 rather than the usual £8. I couldn't resist as it was a reasonable treat for the week. I always find it nice to get totally immersed in a film and forget about the stresses of London living.

Plus it's always a great time to see some new ads that are the extended version. One of the ads that did make me chuckle was the new Lynx ad. I wasn't much of a fan of the 'Billions' ad, probably because as a woman I don't really want to watch hundreds of scantily clad women running towards a man, ha ha. Anyway in the new ad a guy sprays himself with Lynx Deep Temptation which turns him into chocolate. The ad follows the new chocolate man as he goes through his day with women literally finding himself irresistible.



Anyway back to the subject of film I went to see, 'No Country for Old Men' the new Coen brothers movie which is amazing, you have to go and see it. I would be a bit bias as I consider myself a Coen brothers fan, counting Fargo as one of my favourites but really you should go and see it.

The basic plotline centres on Llwellyn Moss played by Josh Brolin, who stumbles across the aftermath of a drugs deal gone wrong. There are some dead Mexicans, a stash of heroin and $2 million in cash. He takes the cash, but without spoiling it for you, manages to leave a trace and a game of cat and mouse ensues. Unfortunately for this guy the cat is a sociopath hit man Anton Chigurgh played brilliantly by Javier Bardem and the other Mexicans. The story is held together by Tommy Lee Jones' sheriff trying to save Moss from Chigurgh and the Mexicans. The film's themes are not so much who gets away with the cash but the ideas of fate and chance and the motivations of the main characters. It is a film worth going for the acting alone, so go and see it.
