I saw Paprika last night and was very impressed. For those who know something about anime, you know that it's rare to see it in a mainstream theatre like The Paramount, and it's even more rare to see it with subtitles. I had the pleasure of both last night and absolutely LOVED it.

Watch the trailer, and you'll start to understand, but if you really want the full experience, you have to see it on the big screen. Positively lovely.

If you want to see it for yourself, hurry! It's only got one night left at the Paramount.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was unbelievably bad. It should be noted here that by "bad" I mean really, really bad. Not quite Eyes Wide Shut bad, but very much three hours of badness I want back from my life.

You'd think that with the millions of dollars they spent on this flick, that they could have sprung for a writer. The guy who thought that it'd be cool to have Jack talking to little dancing clones of himself should get punched in the teeth. The only thing worse than the overall plot, was the back-assward ending. Seriously, for your own sake, stay away.

Seriously, don't waste your time. In roughly two and a half hours of movie, there were only about 30minutes of entertaining footage plus a great stint with Bruce Cambell as a French waiter. Outside of that, it was (sadly, not surprisingly) very disappointing.

Sandra Bullock couldn't save this one. So bad... SO BAD. I mean, not Ghost Rider bad, but really bad... and with a stupid ending.

Melanie has started getting me into Canadian films. I'd always wanted to see more of them, but they don't tend to be well publicised and they often don't stick around in theatres for long. I was happy to be able to see Fido this time out though.

It's absolutely brilliant. I want to give the director a big hug. Set in 50s middle America, the Zombie Wars are over, and we now enjoy a slave society of Zombies to help us mow the lawn, walk the dog etc. It sounds absurd, and it is, but it's delightfully fucked up. Carrie-Anne Moss has one of her best roles ever. Everyone should see this (if only to support Canadian films)
