Friday night was good. Dad's birthday dinner and then over to Duy's place for Huy and Van's birthdays. It was pretty huge, hundreds of people filling their house and backyard, mountains of barbecue, drinks and lots of fun. This morning I caught up with Adam for breakfast, was good to catch up. Other than that, just been working lots, though I'm off to Sydney on Thursday.

'RocknRolla' (2008) directed by Guy Ritchie

Ritchie delivers the same old schtick. It's alright with some pretty fun scenes and some cool characters but overall the story doesn't feel as slick as this film looks. Pretty clunky overall I reckon, mainly because the motivations and back stories of the characters aren't well developed enough. It's all style over substance.

'Bonnie and Clyde' (1967) directed by Arthur Penn

Pretty engaging film about the famous criminal couple. I didn't expect it to be quite so violent but it worked really well, it has a very energetic pace and the relationships between the central characters are intriguing and add tension to the film.
