Ring of Fire
Last night I went to Aidens house for a gathering/party; it was here that I was introduced to a drinking game titled Ring of Fire. Two games of it left us with 90% of the alcohol in the premises consumed and I found myself getting progressively rather drunk on a thoughtless mixture if beer, jagermeister, rum, vodka, cider and anything else that was being passed around. Hence the extremely short post last night. It was incredibly acceptable banter and I went back to Drum this morning, getting a lift from Stephen. One thing I was most pleased about was my lack if a hangover; Calvin's miracle hangover prevention clearly works as I definitely ought to have had one after last night. This afternoon I watched Triangle; a genre-twisting psychological thriller of sorts. I had medium expectation of it and got a bit nervous when I realised it was low budget with some really sub standard CGI at many points. However, it turned out to be a very clever, thoughtfully executed film. The low budget curse of a film purely looking cheap was avoided with inventive camerawork along with grading that gave the visual side of the film a really professional outcome. The plot is impossible to sum up without major spoilers, but suffice to say that it is twist-ridden and has you really scratching your head for the most part. The final section of the plot is very different to anything I as expecting, and genuinely impressed me in the way it was carried out. Obviously the writer/director (same person) is to thank for a large portion of the quality but equal praise goes to the leading lady who portrays a very complex character whilst maintaining an air of mystery and intrigue about her. All in all it wasn't without its flaws but everyone has clearly worked hard for it. I give it 8/10. After this had finished I went with Drew and Darroch to the school in order to assist with filming of Milk Paton. We got a number of decent shots and it was nice chilled out banter. Song if the day is Heart - Alone. Thus is because I've listened to it a fair but over the set few days then suddenly I saw Florence tweeting the lyrics. This conicidence already seems much was exciting than when I first found it bu there we go.
