Time Well Spent...

TIME WELL SPENT - 10 DAYS 00 HOURS 11 MINUTES

Tuesday, 13 November 2012

Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothing but you're telling me everything.

Date: Monday 12th November
Film: True Romance (1993)
Director: Tony Scott
Starring: Christian SlaterPatricia Arquette and Dennis Hopper
Running Time: 2 hours
Rating: 8/10

In all the wonderful tributes and obituaries that appeared shortly after the passing of Tony Scott, there was an awful lot of love for True Romance. Love that reminded me that I haven't seen this film in years. It was only sensible that I added it to my LoveFilm list and settled down for another evening with 90s Christian Slater (my favourite of all the Christian Slaters).

It was a delight; True Romance is a brilliant film. There is violence, drugs, sex and an awful lot of talking, all trademarks of a great Tarantino script. With a solid supporting cast and lots of familiar faces popping up, True Romance is a love story with a difference.

Also, I think it managed to cure me of my old man crush on Gary Oldman...
