So with upcoming exams and assignments that I need to complete I will be going on full hiatus for as long as three weeks, hopefully no longer.  I doubt I will be watching much movies, and I’m sure I will not be writing any full blown reviews.

Please bear with me.  But if you would still like to follow my doings you can read my twitter page here.  I tend to post every and anything I’m thinking about there, as well as whatever movie I do watch.  You can also keep checking for updates on my My Movie Log, where I do post ratings for every movie I do watch.

Thanks for your considersation and your readership,

So it’s been a while I suppose since I’ve really drooled over a movie. Possibly Taken was the last movie that I enjoyed this much, and after the utter disappointment that was Quantum of Solace this movie was the right pick me up I needed. Guy Ritchie returns with some new tricks up his sleeve for his newest movie, RockNRolla.

Now as with Ritchie’s more popular movies [i.e. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch] the movie follows a few different characters who all end up knocking heads together by end of the flick, and of course this all involves the British Underworld. In this edition of Ritchie’s ‘how to’ guide for the anglo-gangster we get to observe a few groups of characters.

I can say that this feels like a pretty nostalgic moment for me. For those of you who know me personally know that I started writing reviews about two years ago on facebook, you can go back on my profile and see all the old ones there still, and the first post I made was about Casino Royale [2006]. So this is slightly refreshing to be revisiting this new Bond franchise with its newest episode which is a direct sequel of the 2006 reboot.

So I usually write a short synopsis for the movie’s plot when I review it, but since my first issue with this movie is the plot I’m going to skip that bit. If you’ve seen the good Bond, Casino Royale, then this is the direct sequel of that movie.
