Poppy and Ruby both decided to sunbathe, even though they both have amazing tans anyway, especially compared to me! I didn’t feel like sun bathing so I thought I would go for a walk instead, considering I don’t normally get the chance when I come to the beach because it is usually like a sardine can. To be honest, I just wanted to leave everything and everyone on this planet; I wouldn’t be leaving much behind really, my life was always full of disappointment. My father left before I was born and my mother always blamed me for him leaving and my only friends, Ruby and Poppy, didn’t actually like me, I’m sure. They only used me because my mother had a high paying job. I swiftly told them what I was doing but I doubt they paid attention; they just carried on relaxing and listening to their music, which weren’t even decent songs!

    Leave it to Jim Jarmusch, the director who gave film audiences the "psychedelic western," 1995's "Dead Man," and the gangster/samurai hybrid, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai," to find a way to put his own unique stamp on that most trendy of cinematic monsters: the vampire. In "Only Lovers Left Alive," Jarmusch finds a way to shake off the recently accumulated residue of too many sparkly, lovesick bloodsuckers by recontextualizing the supernatural creatures as the ultimate hipsters. More than…

    While the Cold War and Red Scare crept up on US people, this sensitive political subject is brilliantly insinuated through the portrayal of Whitlock’s kidnappers The Future, a communist group formed by mostly ill-treated Hollywood screenwriters.
