Children of Men
I normally like Philip French’s reviews in the Observer, but he spent most of a page gabbing on about this film on Sunday without saying whether it was any good or not. I was worried in case this meant it was going to be shit, and moody shit at that. But I’ve just got out of seeing it and I’m pleased to say that this film is brilliant, fucking brilliant. It is grim and futuristic, but at the same time it’s really funny, like The Day Today gone bad or worse. It’s beautifully designed as well, enough to make you want to buy the dvd and freeze-frame it so you can take it all in. There is even Roots Manuva on the soundtrack. This film is good, and then some.Philip French’s review of Clerks 2 was spot on though.

Noooooooo!
What has happened to Kev? Personally, I think it's too much time hanging out with Ben Hairflick.
I can exclusively reveal that the decline in Kevin Smith's films dates from the time he had a drinking contest with Ben Affleck to see who could down a yard of "Love at First Glow" fragrance by J-Lo the fastest. Ben lost but unfortunately Kev's never been the same since...
