Watched recently

3:10 To Yuma - 4/5
2007 remake starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. An old skool western, eschewing post-modern revisionism and all the better for it.

Dexter: It's Alive - 4/5
Good start to a new season.

Big Brother: Day 32 - 4/5
Big Brother: Day 33 - 4/5
Mario and Bex up for eviction. Who do I want to go? Hmm, both of them in an ideal world, but on balance, it has to be Mario for being a complete hypocrite and, to be frank, continually taking bullshit.

Bonekickers: Army of God - 4/5
Objectively, I would have to say this new BBC archaeological drama is crap, but I am a sucker for implausible religious conspiracies in films and on TV and actually rather enjoyed it.

The Mist - 4/5
Original horror in which the residents of a small time are holed up in a supermarket after a thick mist (and monsters hidden within) descends upon their town. Absorbing, original horror directed by Frank Darabont and based on a Stephen King novella. Notable for its downbeat ending.
