Teeth
So, yes, it's a movie about Vagina Dentata and, yes, there are plenty of scenes of male genitalia getting removed. But, it's still worth a look. Darkly comic and lots of good scenes to make you squirm. Or, at least make the guys squirm. I really enjoyed it.
Diary of the Dead
Diary of the Dead is the 5th zombie movie from George Romero and it is a story that reverts back to the beginning of the zombie infestation. We get to see another small group of people make their way through the world that is slowly being overrun by the undead, but this time, we get to also see how they record the events that are happening around them. I had no problem with the 'film within a film' aspect of this and thought it was handled pretty well. I also thought there was plenty of good zombie action - the highlight probably being the scenes taking place on an Amish farm. Definitely better than Land of the Dead and Day of the Dead.
The Dark Night
So, pretty much everybody has weighed in on this one, but I'll just say that I really enjoyed it. I've heard some complaints about the length, but I didn't notice the length the first time I saw it. I was completely involved in the story and never felt things drag at all. I thought that they made the right choice by not making the movie all about The Joker and letting him monopolize screen time. Having him simply be an instigator was a novel way to handle the character and allowed the writers to move along ideas about Batman and the people around him. I'm curious to see what comes next.
That will do it for now, still plenty to come...
