    For a second, I thought they had turned a Delta IV rocket into a submarine and we're doing specops shit with it. Which would be rad as hell.

    The San Francisco Maritime Museum has a wealth of technical manuals for the US Navy. Of particular interest (to me at least) are the myriad of gunnery manuals they have hosted.
     
    Anyways, Enjoy!

    Minions:
     
    A searing indictment of the underground sadomasochistic sex scene in New York, this drama deserves to be watched but is almost impossible to enjoy. 
     
    The plot is a loose-spun thing following the lives of three underage professional subs as they are drawn, each in their own way, into the maelstrom of depravity and violence that characterised the pre-2008 sex underground of the city. Each is, in his own way, on the run from their past and hopeful for a better future. As they are to discover, however, there are pitfalls and predators aplenty in the greed-soaked streets. From there the plot unfolds like something out of a nightmare or particularly cruel folk story, a surreal dream which seems designed to strike directly at the views through the characters they are forced to empathise with.
     
    Each of the three main characters (Robert, Stephan and Carlos - although you'd have to watch the credits to even spot this detail) have their own stories woven into the film by means of divergent stylistic elements: hypersaturated colour aping early technicolour films, a chiaroscuro style in over-contrasting black-and-white, and hand-drawn animation. These elements, which were used to such dramatic effect in the trailers, do unfortunately bog down the already bloated plot by making the visual narrative incoherent at times. However, when they do all come together (in a scene which I simply refuse to spoil but which every theatre goer will recognise on sight) the effect is astounding. A stirring score by James Horner (his last and left deliberately unfinished) certainly adds to the emotional gut-punch of the climax.
     
    Overall, the film is sometimes artless in its references and homages. It is also, as mentioned, strangely paced and often incoherent. But the story and characterisation, along with superb performances by Steve Coogan, Pierre Coffin, Michael Keaton and Sandra Bullock (whose scene-stealing cameo deserves, again, not to be spoiled) lift it from the mire. If you can stick through it to the end, this film will then reward you by breaking your heart.
