Hey maaaan... remember the 60s? \\xa0Doesn\\u2019t matter, because this isn\\u2019t really that movie. \\xa0Unless your idea of the decade is an hilariously acerbic Richard E. Grant (as the eponymous Withnail) drunkenly rampaging through the English countryside screaming at river fish and ladies in tea shops. Paul McGann (...and I) is there to suffer along for the ride, giving and taking timeless quotes and stumbling into one soul-crushing circumstance after another. \\xa0Maybe these two booze-addled out-of-work actors really didn\\u2019t need a weekend in the country to get away from their rat-infested city day-to-day, but thank god they went anyway.

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be watching and reviewing Cy Endfield\\u2019s\\xa0Zulu\\xa0(1964).
