Sexy Beast
That Silas sure is cute. I prefer big dogs too, but having a grudging respect for little guys with big attitude.

Saw Sexy Beast over the weekend. What a great movie! Had to follow the dialogue very closely, as the London street talk can be pretty cryptic at times (except for frequent references to female anatomy, which couldn't be clearer). As can be expected for a British film, the acting and characterization are first-rate. Ben Kingsley is amazing as a retired hood's worst nightmare. The movie's shot in a pretty slick way, too, with lots of saturated colours alternating with b&w and different effects (grainy scenes are everywhere these days, it seems). I love movies with dark humour like this!

Alright Dina, 'fess up. You haven't told us about your little sideline, have you?
