I'm really rather terrible at all of this aren't I?
It's been, like, a month since I last updated. A mixture of Real Life and a continuing obsession with Channel Awesome got in the way. So what have I been up to?
Well, I had a 3 day course on "Introduction to Cryptography" which was cool, I feel like I understand some of the more technical stuff rather more now. Had another rather more boring course on Supply Chain Management as well.
And my weekends have been mad busy. I've been to Cardiff for a wedding, Horley to visit my dad for fathers' day, and Crawley to visit my mum for her birthday.
And I've started to learn to drive. Err... well my first lesson was rather terrifying. My instructor had me driving on a dual carriageway! Since then I've had 2 more lessons. I'm getting gradually less nervous, but I still have a tendency to panic a little on busier roads.
Nothing else especially important has gone on this month, so let us move swiftly on to my next review
Kinsey (2004)
Why was this on my list? I think Love Film did a "Top Ten Liam Neeson Films" article, and this was one of them, and it looked interesting.
And it certainly was. Well, it was a biopic of Alfred Kinsey, touching on his early life, but mostly concentrating on the time he was collecting data and writing his famous sex studies. It was lovely and character driven and wonderfully acted by a brilliant cast. And the cast, oh my, the cast. Liam Neeson, for a start. Laura Linnie plays his wife. She was Sarah, the American one in Love Actually. John Lithgow is his dad. Tim Curry is an academic rival. Chris O'Donnell (G. Callan in NCIS Los Angeles. With *hair*) is a researcher. As is Peter Sarsgaard. Who, coincidentally I saw today, looking almost unrecognisable in Green Lantern.
Above: Peter Sarsgaard is second from the left, and Chris O'Donnell (with *hair*) is on the far right.

And Oliver Platt is in charge of the university. Who, coincidentally, I saw today in X-men: First Class, looking the same as he always does.
So, yes, this film is lovely. And contains quite a lot of sex. Duh. But it manages to never really descend into pretentious porn like Crash does. Thoroughly recommend.
