My Top Tip of the Week

my apologies for missing last weeks top tip. however, this week the movies will be so awesomely fantastic, that the movies i wouldve suggested last week, will feel SO middle of last week. lets keep it short and concise, to the point.

movie to see at the googlo-plex: The Good Shepherd. if you like a movie involving men in long over-coats and hats, peering suspiciously over their shoulders, meeting in shady back-allies, and the phrase "TOP SECRET", then this is the movie for you. fantastically directed by Robert De Niro, who also plays a small part in the film, and equally well acted in by Matt Damon. both performances, as director and leading-man, contribute fantastically to the over-all mood of the film, you even find yourself becoming suspicious of the person sitting next to you (did he just slip something into my drink?). matt damon is stunning as the strong silent yet smart type, and i believe he says less than Mother Theresa in a confessional, during the movie. however, a word of warning, if youre not interested in secret agencies, and even secreter men, then this is NOT the movie for you. it was on the limits of being too long and tedious even for me (note. LIMITS, it wasnt too long, dont be put off by that comment), and i liked it a lot.

rent-a-thon: to counter-act, the seriousness and highly sombre feel of the Good Shpeherd, i will suggest a fantastic slightly brainless stoner-road-trip comedy: Harold & Kumar go to White Castle. nothing to explain. just see it. but remember... its awesome.

actually, go and see the Good Shepherd at the movies (sleep well the night before), and then afterwards go with your friends and buy a huge bag of candy and maybe some nice brownies, and rent Harold & Kumar, and watch it. make it into a veritable movie-fest-night. youre welcome. good night.
