Review: The Road
words by Edward Valand
The Road (15)

When I was twelve years old, I went on a camping trip to Wales with my dad. The locals were unfriendly, the weather miserable, and the local supermarket was poorly stocked. We stayed on a campsite, and spent nights lying awake listening to the whooping and screaming of pissed-up teenagers at the other end of the field. We spent one afternoon walking along a windswept beach, and when we did find an ice cream stand, it was long-abandoned and somebody had been sick in the corner.

At least in The Road, Viggo Mortensen's character remembers to pack a gun so that if things get too bad, he can shoot himself and the boy. All my dad brought was an audiotape of Hancock's Half Hour, and enough petrol to get us back to the East Midlands.

Camping Trips: 1/5
The Road: 4/5

knightly is gorgeous, such an angular face. and she was well good in atonement. it's funny, cos most women i know hate her. absolutely despise her in fact. stiil, the duchess looks dull. was it good james?

Jack Black pisses me off... Im going to the Premiere of 'The Duchess' tonight. So will report back on the foppery and flounce that i am sure it will embody. Keira's fit, i dont care what anyone says!

Last night I saw Be Kind Rewind and loved it! The film started off a bit slowly and was looking a bit shabby but Jack Black was in his element once they started making the films...worth a look

I really fancied seeing that... i reckoned it wouldnt be worth a tenner though. I love Shane Meadows stuff. I'll catch it at the Prince Charles. I saw this amazing animated film called Waltz With Bashir which was a big hit at Cannes. It comes out at the end of November, that's worth keeping an eye out for. I'm hopefully gonna do a piece on it for the mag.
