The Ghost

I've just seen 'The Ghost' at Broadway, Nottingham (brilliant cinema). This is a great political thriller, an adaptation of Robert Harris' novel of the same name. Good solid performances from Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan as the hack journalist and the Blair-like exPM Adam Lang respectively. A thoroughly enjoyable film. Nicely timed release too given that we're on the verge of a general election.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Godammit!
I want to live in a better world. A world where chickens are free to cross the road without having their motives questioned all the time. Is that really too much to ask?
Equal rights for poultry!
