RocknRolla with Noble Scot

  MacTarnahan’s Noble Scot Ale with it’s brown sugary, carmel flavor reminds me of Saturday mornings, buttered toast with cinnamon sugar and burning leaves. Well balanced and full bodied, it’s an all around good beer that you should try while it’s available, as it is a seasonal beer.

  Going back to his roots of British Crime Comedies, Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla (2008) while not as good as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, still packs a One-Two Punch.

  Lenny Cole(Tom Wilkinson) along with his right hand man, Archy(Mark Strong) are the “Old School” crime mob run the fast growing London real estate market . They find it hard to stay on top when Russian billionaire Uri Omovich(Karel Roden) moves into town . Uri along with his sexy accountant Stella(Thandie Newton) is planning an illegal land deal. But when Cole’s drug addicted, rockstar stepson, Johnny Quid(Toby Kebbell) steals Uri’s favorite painting, things go awry.

  The “Wild Bunch”, consisting of Mumbles(Idris Elba) and Handsome Bob(Tom Hardy), led by One Two(Gerard Butler),  a group of small time gangsters trying to get rich quick. With the help of Double-crossing Stella, the “Wild Bunch” steals  7 million Euros from Uri, twice.

  A movie about a stolen painting and duffel bag has never been so funny.

  I know, I know, you thought I was going to tell you more about the movie, but with the amount of “Who’s working with who?” and “Who’s really the bad guy?” I’d be here all day and you’d have no reason to watch it for yourself.

  It’s good to see Ritchie making movies again, because after  ‘Swept Away’, I thought he was done. If you’re lucky, maybe we’ll breview Sherlock Holmes for you.

AND A LITTLE BONUS!

  If you live in the Portland area and can tell me why I chose the Noble Scot to go with RocknRolla, I’ll buy you a beer!
