It’s that time of the month. You know what we’re talking about. It’s time for our RANDOMLY GENERATED REVIEW and at the end of our last randomly generated episode we selected and movie we didn’t even know existed based on the Charles Dickens classic. We’re talking the 2005 film “Oliver Twist” and it’s not directed by Kenneth Branagh like we so confidently, and blindly, assumed. No, this perfectly fine and well executed film was directed by Roman “Meet me in Jack’s hot tub” Polanski. Yep, the infamous and influential director that can’t come back tot he United States unless he gets arrested for statutory rape. His victim forgave him a long time ago, but there is no “did he or did he not” hear. It’s pretty well acknowledged. You could say that Roman Polanski “artfully dodged” his ass to Europe to get away from these charges. That said, how does Polanski’s “Oliver Twist” stand out from the other many interpretations of the story? Ben Kingsley is pretty good, at least. We RANDOMLY GENERATE another movie at the end of the episode and we think your dad will be pleased.
