Some other stuff I watched:-

Alien (2003 Director's Cut) - Not as ground-breaking as the other director's cut (Blade Runner). Just omits all references to Ash being an android beforehand (the speeded-up jogging in one place and Ripley's and Lambert's talk about him not keen on sex). Watched this again cos perplexed why it nearly gave me a juvenile heart attack at 9.

Planet Terror - Ahhhh, this is crap. Outlandish gore, sure. But hardly as cool as the movies it pays homage to, the zombie movies of the 70s. Other than a freakishly cool director's brother as lead and the machine gun prosthetic, there's nothing much to recommend this. I would have gotten a much bigger kick with "Machete", the fake trailer of which I heard is gonna be a straight to video release in 2008.

Double Indemnity - Some classic '40s film noir. Got this mainly because I read a lot of Raymond Chandler (he wrote the screenplay). Moves along at a brisk pace although the burgeoining morality of Hollywood at the time constraints what would have been a better picture. My copy comes with a second disc with the 1980 made-for-TV movie remake as well.

Day Watch : Chalk of Fate - This is rather boring after the phenomenal "Night Watch". Slow and ponderous and doesn't really expand the premise much. The intro is excellent, with the great Tamerlane wrecking an ancient Iranian keep. The eponymous Chalk of Fate should have been used to greater effect. To be fair, it does complete the storyline arc started in the first film. Not so sure I'm keen on "Dusk Watch".
