Skipping The Darién Gap

Posted on April 27, 2012 by Captain Morgan

Ever wondered what it would be like sailing from Panama to Colombia instead of the boring option of flying? So did we, and therefore we decided to give it a crack…

I mean, the only other alternative is overland travel through the Darién Gap, and it is really not recommended. Apparently it’s controlled by rebel Guerrillas and warring drug cartels. So naturally, hitting the high seas seemed right for us.

I thought that the 6 day voyage aboard the Polish run ‘Luka‘ yacht was worth documenting, so here you go.

Panama, in High Definition

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Captain Morgan

If a picture tells a thousand words, than nine thousand four hundred and fifty pictures (give or take) should tell nine million, four hundred and fifty thousand words. Roughly.

And that is the very reason I make these videos, because damn that is a lot of typing. Here’s what happened while we were in Panama recently…

A Forgettable Week In Costa Rica

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Captain Morgan

It Rained. Lots. It was high season, full of American tourists. Hey I’ve got nothing against American tourists except for the fact that Costa Rica was full of them, which meant we struggled to find a bed. When we did find somewhere to sleep, it was only an odd night here or there, which meant we usually had to be up and on the hunt again nice and early, which ain’t fun for a hangover.

I’ll be honest and admit we were both pretty pissed off the whole time we were there, and therefore didn’t shoot much footage. But keeping in line with this project, here is Costa Rica, vlog style. Next time CR…. next time.

On The Road Again

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Captain Morgan & Cinnamon Girl

We’re getting slack keeping this blog up to date sorry. Besides romping around the Caribbean seas with a knife in one hand and a bottle of rum in the other, we’ve been busy making these little movies (here’s two in one go for you BAM!) and doing other fun stuff including writing for Whiteboard which is the Rushfaster blog. Go read it!

Part Four: Guatemala

OK, so i’m pretty sure that nobody reads this blog (and rightfully so, we are pretty drab at the best of times,) but IF you do, and you would like to see the next leg of our quest for world domination, then click the play button below and marvel at our amateur film making skills in AMAZING technicolor©

Part Three: Belize

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Captain Morgan & Cinnamon Girl

As you can see we have been keeping a bit of a vlog of our travels, and therefore neglecting the blog in a sense. Either way, the videos are kinda fun to make but take up most of our spare time. You know, when we ain’t sippin cocktails out of coconuts and shit.

Part Two: Mexico

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Captain Morgan & Cinnamon Girl

As you’ll see, we’ve been busy. Well by busy, we mean busy travelling Mexico. It is a particularly fine specimen of a country, but I’m sure you already knew that.

Here is Part Two: Mexico

Up, Up and Away

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Captain Morgan & Cinnamon Girl

You may, or may not, have noticed that DAA has been rather quiet over the past couple of months. There are two main reasons: one we were hacked, hence the different layout; and two we are currently making our way around the world. We packed in our jobs and started our travels in the good ol’ US of A. We have been documenting our trip using the great Sony HX9V Cyber-shot and figured it (hopefully) should be more exciting than reading about it.

We bring you Part One: The USA.

Watch This Film! – Jesus’ Son (1999)

Watch This Film – Jesus’ Son (1999)
“I knew every raindrop by its name”

This grossly underrated and unseen film is an absolute must. If you have ever liked anything ever you will like this, its hard not to be consumed by its charm.

The acting is spot on, Billy Crudup (Almost Famous) is absolutely adorable as our lead FH (Short for Fuck-Head). Holly Hunter, Dennis Hopper, Denis Leary & Jack Black all lend a hand as supports and fit in perfectly, the dialogue in this film is fluid but also unique. This is also one of Jack Blacks greatest and funniest moments, so if you are a fan of his then this film will be worth it, if not just for this scene.

The film follows FH as he finds love, drug addiction, loss and a voyeuristic obsession. Touching, hilarious and sad, Jesus’ Son is a truly great film, delivering one of Dennis Hoppers greatest lines, “Talk into my bullet hole, tell me I’m fine.”

Peace and Hugging – Das Snuggler

Watch This Film! – Naked (1993)

Watch This Film - Naked (1993)

This is a fantastic film starring David Thewlis (some of you may know him as Lupin from Harry Potter) as Johnny – A fast talking, often ranting lunatic and a right shit. Johnny flees to London fearing retribution from an abhorrent act he committed. Here, he imposes himself on an old girlfriend and her roommate (Katrin Cartlidge), making their life quite miserable. Johnny spends most of the film amusing himself by ranting at strangers and offering his (quite insightful at times) view on life. An amazing performance by Katrin Cartlidge. This film has some pretty strong themes, so viewer beware.
