the new alex garland one about iraq is quite good, the first time i've seen someone try to portray a firefight in that war accurately (and that's literally all the film is, it's just that)
i saw baby invasion, cool coz he's trying to do something no-one has done before but it's very boring and pretty ugly
the budgets have clearly seeped out of everything. am finding that the stuff in cinemas is quite interesting though, even if it's not particularly good. it's like the film people are all unmoored. trying to work out what to do and how to crack the code, what the possibilities are at the moment. there's a certain exploration to the new films i'm seeing, from the indie ones to the more mainstream ones
