Despite watching loads of films lately, I haven’t reviewed any here because I seem to have committed myself to wittering on about 20 video games that I like rather than writing a couple of posts to summarise all of them like more sensible people have and so therefore tying myself up in a never fucking ending series that only two people are reading and that isn’t really that original anyway.

So here as a brief list of films that I’ve watched lately that I thought were pretty good and worth watching. Here’s a run down with an ever so brief synopsis of what they’re about:

Crash (2006 version): Racism is bad, mkay!
Requiem For A Dream: Drugs are bad, mkay!
21 Grams: Life is bad, mkay!
The Proposition: Australia is bad, mkay!
Stranger Than Fiction: Tax is bad but cookies are good, mkay!
John Carpenter’s The Thing: Shapeshifting creatures from another planet that disguise themselves as dogs or humans are bad, mkay!1

Not the most cheery bunch of films but there we go. I’m sure I’ll try to discuss them individually soon.

1Yeah, okay, I haven’t just seen this for the first time but I still think this film carries an important message that we ignore at our peril.
