In (fucking) Bruges

Last night I’ve been to see “In Bruges”, with Colin Farrell.
It’s quite a strange movie, trying to mix comedy and noir. Colin Farrell’s character is very funny and he is very good in the part of a stoned dubliner, with a strong southern Irish accent, who does not appreciate the nice city of Bruges.
Ralph Fiennes is good as well, especially on the phone :)
The movie not always manages to keep the attention high, but I enjoyed it and some scenes and wisecracks will remain in my head for a long time.
Not a masterpiece but a good movie. And also made me wanting to go to Bruges. Maybe I’ll go there one of the next weekends!
I loved this film, imo one of the best recent releases. I think its main pleasure is its defying labels: it’s a dark comedy, a very un-p.c. one, and a touching drama all the same.
Anyway, why would you go to Bruges? It doesn’t even have a bowling alley ;)
Just to have a gay beer :D
