Yup...add one more to the list

Well, well, well...it has been a fantastically busy week with the CATESOL conference and all but I finally managed to watch a movie this week. I finally watched a movie I've been dying to see since it came out in theaters --> V FOR VENDETTA! I must say that it did not disappoint. I don't want to give too much away but if you read George Orwell's 1984 and liked it you would totally dig this movie. It basically talks about a future UK that is forced into a repressive totalitarian state after a world war. People are blindly accepting this state of living in exchange for protection from the chaos. Enter the protagonist V who infiltrates and starts to persuade the people to rise up...to find out more you should watch.
I give the movie two thumbs up, and if I had more thumbs they would be up too. I'm not such a big fan of Natalie Portman's accent but overall she did a great job as did Hugo Weaving and I feel like I should enlist in their personal fan clubs. If you've seen it let me know what you think and if not go rent it today. I hope to watch another movie this week so I'll keep you posted.

peace
