Movie review for the day

Rico says that, while it's only his perverse sensibility that links them, both Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Trout Fishing in America have some similarities. Fish, for one thing.
But, while Brautigan's story is quaint and period, the movie is topical and gorgeous.
It also has wogs in kilts (photo), a nice (if unconsummated) love affair, and incredible acting by Kristin Scott Thomas, Emily Blunt, and Ewan McGregor. There's also a great role for the mysterious sheikh, played by Amr Waked, who was in Syriana (which Rico hasn't seen, but will now), and could certainly play Osama bin Laden when they make that movie...
