The Rum Diary -2011
I saw the film.
Loved it.
Didn't review it right away.
Not sure I need to now.
I was hoping to do a comparison with the book, but sadly, I haven't yet read the book. It's buried somewhere in my to read pile.
I have however, been reading The Joke's Over by Ralph Steadman. About his adventures with Hunter S. Thompson.
Yes this form of sentence structure is meant to make you think about the way Hunter S. Thompson spoke.
So the plot of this film is that Kemp is a new reporter landing himself in Puerto Rico in the 60s. He somehow by a string of odd luck, ends up right in the middle of a corrupted company. A land buyer worms his way into his life, getting him to run slanted news stories.
That's the plot. I await the dvd.
