Alpha Dog
Freya, our next door neighbours daughter had her 4th birthday party today. Tamzin and I with the boys all went to the party / BBQ. For September it was a really hot day. The boys (Evan, Rio & Bryn) had a great time playing in the garden and were completely shattered when we came home at about 6.30 PM.
When they were all in bed Tamzin went out to get a DVD from Blockbusters. She came home with 2 films ‘Alpha Dog’ and ‘Premonition’. We watched ‘Alpha Dog‘ starring Justin Timberlake, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone. Not knowing what the story was about, it shocked us! What a moving and chilling story.
I think most people watching this film will watch it because Justin Timberlake is in it, not knowing it’s a true story of the kidnap and murder of 15 year old Nick Markowitz back in 2000. I think most people watching the film will be shocked by the end. A sad story but a well made film, if you have time watch it.
Before writing this post I Googgled the film title and also Nick Markowitz, I was shocked to see how many people where moved by the film and it’s story. People have Blogs on the subject, Nick Markowitz has a MySpace site and the story of his murder has created so much interest all over the world.
So from a great birthday party to a shocking film on a hot Saturday in September. Also Tamzin felt very rough this morning from a hangover, thanks to a few glasses of wine last night!
