A quiet, peaceful weekend there, punctuated by playing computer games, discovering Dawn of War Winter Assault requires video card driver updates, eating sticky buns, watching fun movies, and the unexpected but very welcome return of elbrop. Oh, and odd dreams where myself and several of my co-workers steal a hugely expensive microchip from our workplace.

The movies are the best bit of all this, mostly because one totally blindsided me. The first treat was my discovery of Bubba Hotep on dvd. I'd not actually seen this before, but I decided that €10 was worth risking on it. Especially a 2-disc set with all manner of interviews and special features. And it is worth ten quid. It's a bit heavy-handed, and it doesn't live up to it's potential, but I'm happy with it. It's hard for me to not like a film with Bruce Campbell.

The absolute gem of the weekend was Boy Eats Girl. I personally find it amazing that a irish zombie movie can be made without me knowing about it, as does everyone else who knows me. All I can put it down to is really bad PR. I saw an add for this on tv on Friday. By Sunday the movie was out and I'm in the cinema watching it. It's great. Brainless, but great. My only real complaint about it is the casting of people clearly in their mid-twenties as schoolkids. I know that American films have been doing this for years, but there's a level of disassociation there that I can live with. When this is meant to be the same kind of school that I was in seven years ago, and the cast look older than I do... it's harder to ignore. That said, the cast are all very good, so I can certainly live with this. I think this film might be lost behind Land of the Dead, which would be a shame, so go see it if you get the chance.

Anyway, back to work with me.
