I'm just in from the cinema where I saw The Expendables starring and directed by Sylvester Stallone. Well - it was entertaining and action packed as you might expect and featured heavyweights such as Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Rourke in minor roles. The movie also starred Jason Statham, Jet Li AND Dolph Lungdren. The lead female characters are played by Giselle Itie and Charisma Carpenter. To my surprise the Diamond Cinema in Navan was packed and consequently I have a sore neck (no I was not bitten by a vampire though the moon is full) as we had to sit in the second row; how big the screen seemed. The streets of Navan had been deserted and going home despite the exodus from the movies some tumbleweed passed. It was an okay movie and only cost five euro to see. I loved the tattoos and motorbikes featured in the film.
Also showing at the moment is Salt with the exciting and beautiful Angelina Jolie. I've seen this too and it is watchable. Jolie plays a CIA agent named Evelyn Salt who had been trained as a Russian spy to infiltrate the agency. Angelina is back kicking ass again and was last seen jumping out of a helicopter and running off injured through the woods.
Now I can hear my man Justin Timberlake in the background so I plan to watch some of his Live in Madison Square Garden concert on dvd. What can I say, I'm being a popular culture junkie today. I've also been reading a book about David Grohl of the Foo Fighters and re-reading Sarah Water's Fingersmith.
The moon is bewitching tonight. If you can draw back your curtains and gaze I suggest that you do so.
