SWAT is the cinematographic equivilent of the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup; sure, if that was all you ate, you'd eventually die of malnutrition, but damn if it isn;t just about the yummiest thing on the face of the earth. Colin Farrell being hot, kicking ass and having his trademark pointy hair, with side orders of Jeremy Renner and LL Cool J, topped off with Samuel L Jackson being awesome and French people being beaten up - it's pretty much the ultimate snack food... I mean movie.

Dissapointed with Intermission, though; I mean, Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell in the same film should be a recipe for sexy Irish goodness, but the entire movie left me feeling kind of "meh". I suspect Colin's lack of hair contributed considerably to my low opinion.

Tigerland and Alexander are still awesome, and of course, A Home at the End of the World remains one of the most beautiful, moving, and altogether excellent films I have ever seen. Dallas Roberts is awesome, and should totally do more stuff; I was so excited when I saw him in the trailer for Walk the Line, and so gutted that he didn't have a bigger part. But then, I was busy being traumatised by Larry from Buffy playing Marshall Grant, so maybe I wouldn't have noticed.

I am proud to state that the above paragraph is 100% pure, unrefined, original Froodlism.

Well, on the mostly cringe-worthy season three of The L Word he's playing Kit's much younger love interest. I never cared for Kit, she bored me, so I couldn't say I liked or disliked her, but as soon as Angus (Dallas) came into her life her storyline is finally interesting and I didn't even recognize Dallas at first. The sad thing is that all the lesbian relationships (the main key to the show) are becoming a drag and the het one is the best thing it's got going.

The L Word has never really appealed to me; it kind of looks like the US version of Queer As Folk but with lesbians. And considering I wasn't keen on the UK QaF, and a couple of episodes of the US version nearly made me lose the will to live, I decided I would give it a miss. Might try renting the third season, though, if only for Dallas.
