28 Weeks Later (2007)
A few cheesy scenes couldn't spoil 28WL for me
Immediately, 28WL grabbed me with the familiar sense of abandonment and helplessness that I felt in the first film. The crude actions that lead one to survival in the midst of the infection. The motivations of the characters were more personal.
The action scenes were more violent, the infected just as violent but held more intensity, and the plot drove through the film like a Japanese bullet train. Unfortunately, the chaotic scenes between the infected and non-infected were not shot as clean as the first. Danny Boyle did a better job in respects to making chaos look clean.
At times, it was difficult to collect my thoughts b/c of the fast pace. Several hoaky and unrealistic scenes took away from the film, but not enough to walk out of the theater disappointed. If you liked or loved 28 Days Later, I highly recommend spending the $10 bucks to see 28WL on the big screen to form your own opinion.

Une vraie jeune fille (1976)
french piecer
This was the slowest, most horrible foreign film I've seen in awhile. The cinematography was weaker than children's Tylenol. I'm still not sure whether there was an actual plot or not. I realize the 'real young girl' was going through some pubescent issues or confusion, but seriously... if you're going to make a bad film and call it 'psychosexual', you could at least put some good sex scenes in it. Granted, the girl had a great body, but so do half the soft core actresses in Hollywood. If you want a good raunchy sex movie from the 70's, look elsewhere, b/c it's not here. I want those 93 minutes of my life back.
