Whoa, buddy. Put down the character piece. NO. Really, you'll hurt someone with that thing. Sure, a crazy dance scene saves the day and the ending doesn't go in the obvious directions, but if you keep making that face, it'll stick. Listen to you mother, she was right. Go pet your llama.

Would have been the best Christmas Movie ever, if only they had worked in a zombie turkey returned from three hours in the oven. It just left me asking one question... Seriously, this movie had it all: romance, buddy comedy, character development, a guy with a dart in his head, and sex. Ok, no sex, but loads of other fun. One question remains: why weren't there any zombie animals?

Existential Detectives. Slightly surreal. Good use of the diegetic vs. non-diegetic dichotomy. Jude Law's got a nice chest. Actually, the story was funny and interesting, although the dialogue reminded me of drunken philosophical conversations. A great satire of American greed and identity, it leaves some interesting questions open for discussion.

I actually kind of liked the drunken philosophy dialogue, just because it kind of made you want to smack people and induce that "pure being" unthinking moment thing. And I have a strange and unappealing attraction to Jason Schwartzmann now.

And they kind of hinted at the zombie animals with the old man zombie attacking the pigeons at the beginning. And if you take a Hendrix class, he'll point out you could write a paper on how the lack of animals and real green space is what creates zombies out of the London populace cut off from the natural world.
