The Wife and I watched 'Watchmen'. Amazingly, she liked it.

I watched that this past Thursday. I thought it would never end.

They did the same with "Planet Earth", replacing him with Sigourney Weaver. The most annoying bit was that they only put the interesting little "making of" segments on the Sigourney Weaver version of the Blu-Ray.

We enjoyed Zombieland. Not as good as I expected, but Woody Harrellson can do no wrong IMO.

If you like zombie type stuff; there was an awesome miniseries on Brit tv a year or so ago called Dead Set. Well worth getting hold of if you can find it (was released on dvd quite recently I believe). The zombies are the more modern fast running kind of zombie, rather than the old shuffling ones, which gives the whole thing an alarming sense of pace. It's brilliantly directed and also darkly funny in places. Starts off at the Big Brother production centre, with contestants being voted off and the Big Brother house turns into the only safe place.

Very dark in the way Brit horror usually is, but very funny too. Also very character driven. The surviving humans who we follow are all very good actors. There's a disturbing realism to the whole thing despite the glee and gore.

Not much in the way of available clips on youtube; but here's a fanmade trailer that's pretty decent. Certainly gives a flavour of it. I've posted it elsewhere recently, can't recall what thread, because I've on a Charlie Brooker drive lately (he's the one who wrote/made Dead Set). He's one of my recent obsessions :P Worth following the link and watching on full screen.

I will be watching (not on dvd but via itunes, so that counts right ?:P) this evening, GhostTown. I've heard decent things about it.

We watched The Proposal, that light romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, on Saturday night. It was pretty much what you would expect, a light romantic comedy. If you like that kid of thing, you could do worse.

I also saw The Proposal over the weekend with my sister and brother and their spice. It could have benefitted from a punchier ending, but I liked the dialog. There were some good lines.

Margaret Tate: You know I can't swim!
Andrew Paxton: Hence... the boat.

Andrew Paxton: [as Margaret slowly descends the ladder to the dock] Congratulations. I'm a hundred.

Taking of Pelham 123, the remake.

Just don't.

Watch the original. Glory in it's wondrousness as a caper movie, leave the remake in the video store.

Just saw the 1974 original on HBO. Whoa Nilly, what a lot of cursing! I mean much more than you find in our movies today I think. I was cracking up. I loved Matthau in it and of course his trademark look at the end. What a perfect snapshot for the 70's...the styles, the cars, the humor.

I could just imagine you saying that and gotten a chuckle out of me. Nice personality.

Just watched "The Informant". What a turd.

DanaC · 03-18-2010, 07:13 AM

I watched a really funny little brit film last night; called FAQ About Time Travel. It's available via itunes and i can highly recommend it. It's very small scale and low budget, but I thought rather good nonetheless.

"Chaos and Cadavers".
