Oi, oi, oi, me old tatters and whiskey! In this week’s nobble and flonk, by which I mean “I Can’t Believe You Haven’t Seen That Part 3: The Rebelievening,” your ol’ nachos and carburetors Max and Mike are taking a bit of a what’s-that-pancreas at Guy Ritchie’s “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.” That’s a bit of the ol’ knee joints and lava lamps, innit? Too right! This here framistat’s-knickers is one serious right-in-the-bollocks, you can bet your Uncle Ernie’s dialysis machine! And I’m not just needlin’ the ham sandwich with the ol’ penguin relish garnish, eh? We got thrills, violence, Sting, more violence, a floor-swaddling soundtrack, and did I mention violence? Bet your third cousin’s beehive muskrat I did! Not to mention loads of Cockney rhyming slang, which unlike the load of rhesus monkey dandelions I’ve been tossing about isn’t completely made up out of my own neck-topper! Bugger me bubble-and-squeak but me standard linguistic skills have totally gone chambermaid’s diploma because of all this! Someone call the odd’s bullywogs! I mean the poodle-fluff rampy-stamp! I mean the Heisenberg shrimp kebabs! I mean . .

The killing , a 1956 stanley kubrick film is one of the few heist films I like, though i have rewatched it in a long time.
Inception 2010 christopher nolan . I keep forgetting the english name for this as its called origin in french and i have only seen it in french. I liked the combination of heist with the sci-fi premise over the typical type of movie in this genre.
Never heard of “The Killing” before. And it’s a Kubrick? Gotta look into that one. Hadn’t thought of “Inception” as a heist film but at its heart, I guess it really is! Thanks, Prince O’ Penguins!
Kubrick’s film the year before, Killer’s Kiss” (he seemed to have thing for the word killer when he started) I like even better but it’s almost an Hichcockian film that has a fantastic scene in a mannequin factory!
