Heart Shaped Balloon: DCA

The other night Tom sorta came up to Dundee as a surprise (he let the cat out the bag a day before after finding out I was heading back to Edinburgh for reading week!), it was absolutely lovely. We just hung out as I was starting to get ill and had like no energy. Also, I had a computing hand in for the friday so we couldn't do much on Thursday. Once the work was done we went for a few G+T's at the union and ran into a few guys from my class. Was great banter, tom got to know some more folk in my class and we had a cheap night out. But on friday once I'd finished class we went into town after some lunch at the union and then decided to head to the DCA for a movie and have a pizza.

We went to see 'The Town', a new movie directed by Ben Affleck, who also stars in it as one of the main men. Got to say too, he's quite the hotty in it as well. It's based around the novel by Chuck Hogan called Prince of Theives. It's based in Chalestown, Boston, an area of Boston renowned for bank robberies and follows a group of 4 guys who have become extremely skilled bank robbers over the years. It starts with a armed bank robbery which ends with the young bank manager, played by Rebecca Hall, being taken hostage by the masked and intimidating criminals. The story follows how she copes with the ordeal and what the robbers get up to next. It is stirred up by the unlikely relationship of the hostage and one of the robbers. Shit definitely goes down!
