Brit Fever

I have a new favorite expression. OI!

I watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels the other night with my equal-half. He is a BIG Guy Ritchie fan. I enjoyed Snatch before, kinda liked the music in Swept Away, but after watching LS&TSB, I am totally captured. This guy’s film-making style is so creative and cool! I have officially included Mr. Madonna in my short list of adorned filmmakers, together with Quentin Tarantino, Alfonso Cuaron, Baz Luhrmann and John Woo, among others.

British films are so cool. Even though I have to turn on the Subtitle button to understand what the actors are saying, it is a refreshing alternative to the usual American flicks. OI! OI! OI!

So soothing to the ears.
Trivia: LS&TSB is Jason (The Transporter) Statham's first acting work.
