are ya'll SURE this is bombtastic? the description i read sounded weak (and one description mentioned cain and abel...?)

get this: i have a $10 gift certificate to cinema center in my pocket. from the year 2003. (i also, while going through cardboard boxes, found a birthday card from 3 years ago with $40 still in it) (then a birthday card with a $20 gift certificate to glenbrook mall that expired in 2001)

I think it sounds good!

Set in the Australian Outback in the 1880s, the movie follows the series of events after the horrific rape and murder of a settler family by Arthur Burns and his brothers. Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) offers Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) a proposition, whereby he and his younger, mentally handicapped brother, Mikey (Richard Wilson), can go free of the crimes they have committed, if Charlie kills his older brother Arthur. Capt. Stanley is intent on bringing Arthur to justice, and uses Mikey to persuade Charlie to comply. Charlie has 9 days to find and kill Arthur, or else Mikey will be hanged from the gallows on Christmas Day.

I see the Cain and Abel connection though...

I saw it and can verify that it is an excellent, deliberately paced, gritty (and, in unexpected parts, grisly) flick.

It's a little on the bit much scale from an air conditioning standpoint, but shows flicks the regulars don't (The Cooler, Baaaadass!, The Aristocrats), plus it feels good to support a local business instead of some megalopolis.

Cinema Center Tech is the dopeness-Jenn and I caught Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (dopesauce, by the way) and it's official.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

IMHO it's one of the best films from 2005.
