Other movie goodness
Downloaded and watched, then went out and bought the specialest DVD versions I could find of Silent Hill and V for Vendetta.
V for Vendetta - despite differences from comic to movie, I enjoyed it. Anything with Agent VElrond in it is worth a watching, plus Ms. Portman and John Hurt... She did get overshadowed a bit by the male actors unfortunately.
Silent Hill - again with the differences, although damn they got the atmosphere dead on. Probably one of the creepiest American movies I've seen in a long time. Plus it gave me a new respect for barbed wire - fashion accessory AND instrument of revenge! I am curious about the ending though. It could be that they ended it that way to leave it open for a sequel, or... Well, trying to avoid spoilers here. I think they were going for an ominous and depressing ending, not a sequel-friendly ending - I'll leave it at that.
