What I've been watching

First off, Monday so the arrival of the special edition of V for Vendetta, which is a fantastic (though it seems negatively recieved by Alan Moore purirists) and was reviewed by me back when I saw it at the cinema, American Dreamz, could of been a biting satire of the American President and American Idol but doesn't have any teeth, Mandy Moore looks hot in it though. A film I'd not seen since Childhood without realizing Spaceballs is noticebly not one thing: that funny, a couple of good jokes aside, a lot of it just falls flat, The Ice Storm, one of my favourite films from 1997 (in a year that included L.A Confidential and The Big Lebowski) with a particulary memorable turn from Christina Ricci, it should be noted it's wonderfully acted by all and is Ang Lee's best film to date.

Just finished watching R.S.V.P. (2002), a horror with some neat little ideas- notable as it was the last role for Glenn Quinn, and also featuring Jason Mewes, you have to believe that there was a couple of drugs flying around the set (Quinn died of a heroin overdose) - the movie is ultimately okay, but feels a tad been there done that, The 'Burbs (1987) is incredibly underrated and is a film that before recently watching it hadn't seen for a fair few years. Bruce Dern as the military-nut neighbour is a standout. I think that's all I've watched the last couple of days.
