Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1999)

We were browsing Netflix and my son said "is that any good?" which made me command that we watch it immediately -- I'd rated it an "A-" the first time I saw it back in 2000.

Well, it doesn't quite hold up. There are several clever elements, but it just felt dated/mannered/slow-moving and as though London is the smallest place on the planet with the same 25 people constantly barging into one another’s affairs.

Nathan fell asleep.
