I did enjoy this classic film and have watched it a couple of times - however the 80s early 90s anime drawing isn't my favourite drawing style and I find impacts my enjoyment of a film even if like this it has good story line.

Rolling Stone's 334th greatest album of all time
Brilliant album, I would say reminiscent of Elvis Costello but I believe they emerged about the same time, Parker possibly slightly earlier. Still, that gives an indication of the style of music, being similar to Costello's early days. Great "diet punk" songs.

So slow to start! (0 more)
Slow burner.
This novel came highly recommended to me. So it was one I had high expectations of.
Honestly those expectations were let down in the first half of the book. I found the style of writing slow and the main charictor hard to warm too.
However! Once into the story I quickly became hooked. It picked up pace and the story kept me guessing. I did unfortunately guess part of the twist. But it didn't stop the book from being cleverly written in a unique style. Overall I enjoyed it, and do recommend others read it. Just don't expect a fast paced read.

Quite a strange film...to be honest though it might have sounded good on paper and the twists and finale probably sounded interesting enough. The main problem is if you watch many films like this you could probably figure it all out within the first 10 minutes, I did. So what could have been great ends up being quite predictable and it becomes a slow film, even at 80mins long to an obvious conclusion. The filming style was ok, not quite Rec or Blair witch, but hand held and up close do add to the atmosphere of the film. A missed opportunity as there seem to be a lot of similar style films out at present.
