Did I mention I slept through my alarm this morning … ?
Yes, I think I did, did I … ?
Mind you, I also admitted I had a very good excuse.
You see, I had Kevin D over, last night, for a cuppa, or two, and a movie.
And I think we’ve hit an interesting one …
The movie in question … ?
Was a recent DVD release I’d borrowed from Grub: the 2011 release that is Attack The Block.
~≈Ê≈~
Attack The Block sees Sam — Jodie Whittaker — mugged by Moses — John Boyega — and his gang on her way back home on a run down South London estate.
A mugging that’s interrupted only by something small and nasty hitting a nearby parked car.
A small fanged nasty that’s soon joined by some of its larger and nastier friends*.
A bunch of friends who — seemingly — aren’t after local dealer Ron’s supply of high grade cannabis …
~≈Ê≈~
Now …
Here’s the important bit …
What did we think of it … ?
Now, I’m VERY aware that both Kevin and I managed to disagree about Attack The Block. I personally felt this was a superb little Brit-flick — certainly better than many I’ve seen, with the exception of, say, Harry Brown — with me being VERY impressed, and Kevin having enjoyed the film, but agreeing with film critic Mark Kermodeª: that it could’ve been a touch funnier and scarier.
I kinda think that’s reflected in the stars we gave it, at the end.
I’ll leave you with those, shall I … ?
Attack The Block.
Paul: ★★★★
Kevin: ★★½☆☆
Average: ★★★¼☆
* Nicely impressive job, actually: turns out the creatures were done using an updated version of Rotascope.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
