Day 298 - Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

There was only one topic of conversation in the city today - yesterday's liquid tempest. The journey to and from work was negotiated with ease though, and the evening consisted of a duet of cinematic pleasures. First up was We Need To Talk About Kevin (7 / 10). A couple of years ago, I tried to read the book, but failed after about 20 pages as I found it interminably boring, but the film was great, with Tilda Swinton surely deserving an Oscar nominee nod come January time. Surprisingly good too was Footloose (7.5 out of 10), a remake of the 80s classic that is very possibly better than the original!
