28 Weeks Later…! The Dark Knight Returns! Blankets!
This week has once again proved to be rather interesting in the film and book categories (my two favourite catergories of course).
Took a little trip to the old cinema last night to see 28 Weeks Later. I thought - won’t be scary. I’ve seen the first one a million times and that was just plain old good. A bit scary I guess, but the awesomeness outweighed the scariness. ANYway, the first ten minutes of the sequel was so fucking scary I was gripping the fucking arms of my seat with my mouth slightly ajar in horror, I wish someone could have seen my face ha ha ha, wasn’t expecting the beginning at all. So yes, the start was promising. But then they had to go and spoil it with a plot…sigh. And Americans. Although I do have nothing against our trigger happy western neighbours, they did lower the tone slightly (”I’m gettin’ the fuck OUTTA here!!” etc). It didn’t feel like a brit flick which is why I think the first one had a certain charm, never mind that wasn’t too important. The rest of the film was pretty ok, I did enjoy it until the end…it was a bad ending. I suppose it must have been difficult for the writer to work out what would happen in the end, after the first one ended so well. Unfortunately some egit fucked it right up and the whole thing ended on a bum note. My opinion of course. ALSO the fatal error of casting two children in the main roles was made, cue forced acting. Boo.
BUT! Worry not. It’s worth going to see, there’s some good blood soaked moments. And Robert Carlyle in a zombie film?? Unmissable mate. I’d give it.. 6 or maybe 7/10. Go see!
Yesterday I bought a Batman graphic novel, yes I am that much of a geek. It is by Frank Miller though. I wouldn’t just buy any old Batman comic. Haven’t finished yet but it’s reading well! I also read Blankets, a huge doorstop of a graphic novel, but worth it I guess.
Fun times in Pomi world, sayonara
