Monday

You may have seen a trailer for the movie Black Sheep. You'll know if you have. It's about killer sheep in New Zealand - the kind of thing that sticks in your mind. I'd really like this film to be great. It could be as brilliant as Shaun of the Dead, or some other similar horror-comedy film. The premise is there, and the humour seems extremely black. I also have a feeling, though, that it might be terrible. We'll see. Also coming out soon is the interesting The Invasion, another remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's directed by the director of Downfall, and so promises to be a bit better than your average Hollywood remake, but he could easily just have been 'shipped in' and told what to do, literally (as often happens to successful foreign directors). Again, we'll have to wait and see. The story is always a compelling one, and I hope they've treated it well. In this age of 'terrorists amongst us', the plot has a lot to offer and reveal.
