Movie rentals

Rented a couple movies for the first time in ages. The Tao of Steve was a bit disappointing really. Ok, but not great.

However, The Limey was brilliant! Really well done. Soderbergh directs and uses flashback, flash forward cuts really effectively, which effectively creates suspense.

Story is of a Englishman coming to LA to investigate the death of his only child, Jenny. She was involved with a music producer, who did a deal to get out of a financial jam, and has a manager who's experienced in dealing with the nasty side of life. But so's Jenny's father, a life-long robber, who's done time on more than one occaision.

The English accent and sayings ("I'm going to have a butcher's around." "What?" "Oh, butcher's hook, look around.") add to the movie's appeal.

Oh, this week I also saw An Inconvienent Truth, which is good and powerful.
