It was when I worked for Maxim in the early 2000s - the guy's name was Tim something or other and he wasn't the main editor, but one of a number of people brought in with the word editor in their job title. He was 'executive editor' or something. The fact I can't even remember his full name says it all really because he really was a stupendous twat and all his ideas were on a par with the Carpenter interview travesty.

Tim something - you're a disrespectful twat.

Midnight Meat Train - ridiculous.
100% masahiko
i is a professor and is magical like totoro
Daybreakers - Visually it's bleak, polished and has the same feel as The Matrix. Very different take on the vampire genre and it could had been alot worse...
average.

I liked this a bit more than you did but agree pretty much - there's lots of good ideas and it looks impressive, but the story felt half-baked. It never really caught fire (unlike many of the vampires in it). Best vampire film I've seen recently is Thirst which is utterly mad but great.

Pixar shorts collection and Iron Man on Bluray, both excellent.

Thirst is very unique.
The narrative stretches to another story and another, and maybe one more
Very similar in style to other Korean flicks like Peppermint Candy and Memoirs of Murder.
And what's up with Daybreakers? I thought the ending was way too abrupt...

A documentary about life and leisure at a south African beachfront promenade.
This was a visually very interesting film, but it was also ethically problematic.
There's a lot of people in this one, but the two on which it focussed are a dickhead white councillor and an emotionally/mentally damaged black man (who may also be homeless).
There's a scene where homeless people who sleep on the beach wrap their bits and pieces in a tarpaulin and bury it in the sand. The next morning the councillor and the cops come along and dig the bits of kit up and scatter them hither and yon. While at the same time complaining about the mess.
The possibly homeless guy may or may not have been in a fit state to know if he was being filmed and if so, for what.
Like I said - visually interesting, but deeply problematic. By the end I had a renewed respect for John Pilger's style of agitprop, however crude it may be.

Gripping, brutal, brilliant! A thriller that thrilled.

Exasperated, not angry.
I hadn't heard of this till you mentioned it, watched it this afternoon, very funny indeed.
Rounded it off with Werners La Souffriere, classic madcap 'lets climb this exploding volcano' doc

The last half is pretty mediocre - from when they discover the wholly unconvincing cure onwards. Sam Neill's good in it though.

recent viewing: a bit of The Best of Ronnie Barker vol. 2,
the David Suchet ITV Poirot version of Death On The Nile - surprisingly pretty good, looked gorgeous.
David Soul was in it hamming it up + plus there was a very Officer Crabtree+Tim McInnery in Blackadder esque ultra bitchy mummies boy gay stereotype who's catchphrase seemed to be "ooh er" but 
The change to the ending worked but still think I like the film better, made me want to see that again now.
Watched some of the behind the scenes clips on Fight Club (the extened/special edition) - v. interesting how they made the cgi.

I watched a film called Bounty Hunter, starring Jennifer Aniston. I'm not quite sure why Jennifer Aniston has such a big name in Hollywood.

I watched a Werner Herzog film two weeks ago called Grizzly Man. Those people were taking the whole animal rights movement a little bit too far.
Werner is the narrator. He tells the audience that he thinks the basis of the world is murder, chaos and death.
