Big B

Talking CCTV scolds offenders.

The world this weak

In other news, 171 people were killed in Baghdad.

The Lookout

Saw this yesterday night without knowing much about the story. Just remembered it had a pretty high tomatometer rating and the protagonist had a mental disability. The movie was surprisingly good: one of those low budget movies from Miramax with relatively unknown actors - Jeff Daniels was the only face I recognized.

Starts off well, slow buildup and a good, albeit predictable, climax. Nice doses of humour throughout the movie too.

Worth a watch.

Accomplishment of the day

After a lot of strenuous googling, found out the name of the song that features in a key sequence in Death Proof. The song, boys and girls, is Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. I managed to get the mp3 too, from here.

Grindhouse

I'm thrilled to bits that I watched Grindhouse in the US, as one full segment: both features and all the three previews. Muahahahaha!

Bloody brilliant.

Planet Terror is the B movie to end all B movies. It's got everything - and I mean everything. Right from the sherrif who won't believe the hero to the rapist who loses his..well, I don't want to spoil the fun for you. And oh, Naveen Andrews has some balls!

Death Proof starts off as another B movie satire, but quickly morphs into a Tarantino flick, which is what you've paid money for anyway. Lots and lots of dialog, a bad ass bad guy, cool chicks and a killer soundtrack. I've become a fan of Sydney Poitier, by the way. And that's no typo.

Grindhouse

Just got back after watching Grindhouse - I'm thrilled to bits that I saw it in the US as one full segment: both features and all the four previews. Muahahahaha!

Bloody brilliant.
