Movie review: "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"

"English Breakfast" may sound inappropriate for late evening, but I opened a fresh tin of loose tea this morning, so I'm celebrating it. You can have some toast with cream cheese and fresh tomato slices with it.

The bathroom walls still need a bit of patching. The first application of joint compound has helped smooth some of the rough spots, but there is plenty of work to be done.

I just finished watching "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998) (rated R), a crime comedy of errors, written and directed by Guy Ritchie. Good entertainment value, good balance of tension and comedy, very tightly knit. It has a very similar style to "Snatch" (2000), also w&d by GR, and some of the cast is in both movies, notably Jason Statham, Alan Ford, and Vinnie Jones. No Brad Pitt in this one. Both have good entertainment value, balance of tension and comedy, and a story so tightly knit it could be a bullet-proof jumper.

So, does the tea have too much caffeine for this time of night?
