In Bruges

My short visit to the country estate (and for any new readers, don't worry I'm attempting humour - it's a bungalow) was marked not only by trying to find a solution to the gull-nesting problem but more pleasingly by watching two excellent films. I've already told you about American Gangster and next in line was In Bruges.

This is a tautly told morality tale cum black comedy with fine turns from Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as hitmen and Ralph Fiennes as their deranged but oddly moral boss. Any film that manages to include this summation of a haphazard orgy, 'Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf', deserves my vote. Another 8.5/10.
