Entry for 15th December, 2008 - Rocknrolla

I have been watching the Guy Ritchie film “Rocknrolla” (I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it) and I can see what all the fuss is about Guy. It’s a rollicking little movie full of pace and action and humour and drive. I give it my personal little thumbs up. I have actually stopped typing briefly to physically give it the thumbs up.
I like a bit of action in my entertainment. “Rocknrolla” contrasts fairly vividly with “Brideshead Revisited” which I am currently listening to on an Audiobook in the car. Whilst, I can appreciate the literary style, I have to say that Evelyn Waugh would have increased his appeal if his plots occasionally included the odd car chase and a colourful villain called called “Big Jamesy”.
There is only so much wistful recollection of homoerotic picnics at Oxford that I can take.
