In a brief break from all the political shenanigans, I just have to share with you two of the funniest lines from movie reviews I've seen in a while - and they both apply to the same film - John Travolta's latest, Basic.
From Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post: "You know the old one about the infinite number of monkeys and the infinite number of typewriters eventually writing all of Shakespeare? Well, maybe, but I'll tell you who wrote Basic: Monkey No. 7,563,231,521. I think they would have been better off choosing Monkey No. 4,456,347's effort."
And my personal favourite:
From Kenneth Turan in the LA Times: "If any of your talkative friends get to Basic before you do, don't worry about them giving the plot away. They won't be able to."
Ouch!
