“Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends” by (THE BEATLES)

The film starts with a blatant disregard for capitalization (like a UNIX programmer). Very noisy background music (named Leftfield Right) and a Blair Witch run through the city. We see a building designed by Nash used as an apartment. This presentation is noisy and ridiculous. However, if you give it a little time, everything begins to gel, and you will find yourself kibitzing in the standard mystery with all the twists, bells, and whistles. Be sure to notice the dodgy torch scenes. The basic story is about three roommates (Kerry Fox, Ewan McGregor, and Christopher Eccleston) coming home to find their newfound fourth roommate (Keith Allen) dead. So, they do what any roommates do and rummage through all his stuff; there they find (you guessed it) a suitcase full of money. Most assuredly, somebody out there is missing a suitcase full of money. You seem to tell the story, but maybe not quite as well displayed. The only drawback is that even though it starts noisily when it gets to the center, it is noisy, and even the ending credits are noisy. Can't anybody make quiet mysteries anymore? A strange plus is that this is a no-guns movie. Displays paintings by Stephen Conroy was born in Helensburgh, Scotland, in 1964. Some songs included are: ‘Shallow grave’ Performed by left field Written by Neil Barnes and Paul Daley ‘My baby just cares for me.’ Performed by Nina Simone Written by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn ‘Happy heart’ Performed by Andy Williams Written by James Last and Jackie Rae ‘Release the dub.’ Performed by left field Written by Neil Barnes and Paul Daley I could have sworn that from the architecture of the buildings, this was England; however, it was filmed on location in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland. The version I watched was a Blu-ray version of the 1994 movie Criterion version. There are two commentaries, the first one by Director Danny Boyle in 2009. The second commentary is by John Hodge and Andrew McDonald.
