I'll Take a Meat Cleaver with a Side of Dagger...

Last night I headed off with a group of high school friends to see Gangs of New York and actually ended up pleasantly surprised. A solid 5 M's out of 7 for this one, even though it was a lengthy 2 hours and 45 minutes, and I was in the second row basically engulfed in the screen, I still found it to be quite entertaining. I've heard mixed reviews though, so I'm sure there are those that disagree. The gore factor is definitely up there, not quite to the level of Black Hawk Down or anything, but there's a whole lot of stabbing and cleaving and chopping and what not. The acting was surprisingly intelligent, and the visuals of the time period were all quite interesting. The end of the plot is a little confusing if you hadn't been paying attention, as a lot of things happen at once.

After the movie we ended up hanging out back at one of my friend's places, with eventually everyone taking their leave except he who has no life, that being me. We ended up jabbering away for quite some time about anything and everything, I only tend to see her once every six months or so, so there's always a lot to blab about. I eventually checked my watch expecting to see 1 or 2am, and apparently I'd been more engrossed than I thought, for it was past 5.

Pardon the lack of posting over the last few days, as mentioned previously I'll make up for it in just a few days now.
