Here in the streets of American nights

This week's film review had an interesting beginning, given that my dad couldn't remember the name of the film he had gone to see (we don't worry too much about the names of the films we see, just whether or not we like them or not is the important thing). Once he told me that Colin Farrell was in it, we managed to work out that he had gone to see Pride and Glory. His verdict this time? "Pretty brutal, but our kind of film. Never seen a film with so much swearing in my life. It was eff this, mother eff that. Bit gratuitous. But I enjoyed the film. The acting was quite good, Jon Voight was good."

Apparently the film "got a turkey in the Daily Mail", but never let it be said that my dad takes notice of everything he reads in the Daily Mail. Unless it is about Russell Brand.
