Let’s see, what films have I seen since my last blog?  There have been several; however, with football season and work I’ve been really busy.  So I apologize to you, my dear readers.

“Paranormal Activity” - was entertaining.  Creepy if one believes all the hype about it being comprised of “found footage.”  One needs to have patience through the film to appreciate the ending.

“Law Abiding Citizen” - was a fun flick except for the last minute.  What a horrendous ending.  Gerard Butler has a nice backside, by the way.  Oh, and it should be “Law-Abiding Citizen.”  It amazes me how a screenwriter can write an entire film and have the title be grammatically incorrect.  Drives me crazy. 

Speaking of Gerard Butler, I was pleasantly surprised by “Gamer.”  Good premise, decent action, and Gerard’s arms.  Not quite Vin Diesel-like but very nice nonetheless.

“Surrogates” was another pleasant surprise.  Having low expectations, I’ve found, increases the likeability factor of a movie.  Again, interesting premise, decent action, and if one doesn’t try to inject too much rationality into the plot then it is enjoyable.  In other words, ignore the huge plot holes and take the movie for what it is.

“28 Days Later” - we rented from Netflix.  I vaguely remember seeing it before but apparently it didn’t make enough of an impression for me to remember it.  I suppose I liked it better this time because I actually remember what happened.  And Cillian Murphy has nice eyes.

I am going to see “Saw VI” tomorrow….can’t wait!!
