Deeveedees i watched

Man on Fire
Tony Scott adding a lot of whiz bangery to a Denzel Washington film. More like a video clip than film. But i didn't mind it, i actually even liked it. This film was a better version of the punisher film the the punisher film. Ending was a bit naff.

It was ok, but Jackie is getting old. The fights were passable, had a couple of laughs but if it wasn't for my love of Mr Chan it would have been a struggle. Please be advised, i liked 'the tuxedo'.

Bulletproof Monk
Meh - Chow Yun Fat had some very funny lines - more weird than funny haha but otherwise i have no idea why this movie was made.

28 days later
Man, if i was still at uni i would love to do a whole essay/thesis on the cultural implications of zombie films. This and Dawn of the dead have the same set ups, where as DOTD is a genre piece, the British 28 days later is a more personal exploration of characters under extreme circumstances. In the latter film, humans are more responsible for more killings than the zombies. The evil is man himself. Ponder that. hmmmm. Yes.
Maybe this week I'll track down a copy of 'undead' for a multinational zombie fest.
