The Coen Brothers latest film, Burn After Reading, is good. It's funny, you know, and it's got Francis McDormand and the Malkovich. It's not quite The Big Lebowski, but it's still funny. The shocking moment half way through is brilliant in a crowded cinema.

What else... Oh yeah, The Wire. Well, we're only at episode 5 in this house, but it's turning out to be quite the most fabulous thing. Witty as the West Wing, but without the Sentimentality. Dark like the Sopranos, but not as showy. Complicated and meaningful. Well done! Well done to the Wire!

Watched The Fog last night. The Carpenter original, of course. If pirate zombies have to menace a small town, the resulting film will always be rubbish. It's not a great film, but it isn't utterly terrible, and that's quite an acheivement.
