films viewing update.
so I've been secretly going to see films and not telling you about them (yeah, it's got nothing to do with being lazy). but that all changes right NOW as I shall blab about my cinematic experiences.
first up is severance. I really, really enjoyed this one and I'm not even a fan of the slasher genre. I know I said the same thing about shaun of the dead and zombie movies, and this isn't quite the shaun of slasher movies, but they do a very good job of taking you to the edge of your nerves and slipping in an unexpected funny. oh, you brits.
then I finally saw 28 weeks later. you know what? considering this was a huge budget follow-up to an excellent indie, I thought it was still very good. they managed to add an interesting nibblet to the existing story and added even more human drama elements... and of course big budget special effects. all you 28 days puritans should consider checking this out.
then on a spur of the moment I decided to catch paprika. I saw this on an evening when I was dead tired and I admit my mind could have been slipping in and out of brief consciousness, but this film wouldn't have been any less vividly imaginative had I been otherwise. using the words "trippy" or "bizarre" would be an insult to describe an animated feature of this magnitude, which stretches the limits of human creativity and imagination. the soundtrack doesn't slack either.
