Movie watched

Pontypool, the new film from Bruce Macdonald. Because this was new in the cinema, no connection to the previous film is required.

I was quite impressed by this. Not knowing anything about it really other than that it's a "sort-of-but-not-really-a-zombie-movie" was a good thing. I had no idea what to expect. I don't want to say too much other than check it out if you can, especially if you're a big fan of sound - which is really key in this. The lead role of Grant Mazzy could easily have been played by my friend Tom Phillips (but was actually played by Stephen McHattie). It would be interesting to hear what Mark Kermode might think of this if it ever gets to the UK.
