Ummm....

Went with Jen to see 28 Weeks Later.  Not sure how I feel about that movie.  Before you go declaring me a wimp, let me say this.  I don't mind obscene amounts of gore in movies.  Or, at least, my stomach sure doesn't.  About halfway through the film, I realized I was halfway to starving.  Jen *was* wearing something that smelled like coconut, though, so that might have been part of why I was hungry.  Hmm.  Nothing naughty there.  Nothing at all.

Ahem.  The movie.  Yes.

Even the acting was okay.  And I don't mean just "okay", it was pretty decent.  I could see the characters as their own entities, not just actors in makeup.  The story was simple and uncomplicated, which is refreshing.  My chief problem was the brutality.  I don't do so well with brutality.  Especially when women are on the receiving end.  Call me old fashioned, but it really bothers me when women get hurt, even pretend hurt.  One woman had her eyes gouged out by her insane husband, who later on smashed another woman's face in with a rifle.  I know they're doing this for shock factor, that's it's not real.  Still, though.  I just don't like it.

However, I would like to see 28 Days Later.  I hear that Cillian Murphy kicks major ass.
