Jan 10th

28 Weeks Later
From one extreme to the next; THIS is how you do a modern zombie film with a twist.
Obviously it's got a bigger budget than yesterday's viewing, but still...
Robert Carlyle is on top form in this, the sequel to 2002's 28 Days Later. Although this isn't as good as 28 Days, probably because of the little involvement of Boyle and Garland, it still puts across an entertaining realistic account of what would happen if a 'zombie' outbreak were to occur in the modern world. Again more of a drama/thriller with social commentary, especially on the armed forces once again, than a horror of old, this is a pretty worthy sequel and well worth a watch.
