Like: The Social Network
Not sure what to make of The Social Network. Seems like a strange premise for a movie - but there must be something to it for David Fincher to be attracted.

The Geography of LOST
Nice framed prints available from Image Kind, mapping the geography of the Lost island. Not sure you could find your way home with it, but it might look nice on the wall of your geek den.

Casualties of War
A harrowing subject, rendered in a cliched and dated way - under the long shadow of Platoon.
Halliwell says: Simple minded, melodramatic account of a true incident.*

Ad Nauseum: Flake
It might not sell a lot of chocolate, but it caught my attention. Sure, Cadbury's new ad from agency Fallon is a total re-make of the film from Alexander McQueen's A/W 2006 catwalk show, which projected a Kate Moss version of the film in front of the audience - but it's made by the same director (Baillie Walsh), so it gets a pass.

Kids in the Hall - Death Comes To Town
Death Comes To Town sees the welcome return of 90's comedy legends Kids In The Hall, as the canuckian comedians eschew their traditional scetch show format for a narrative based comedy 'drama'.
Of course it's not that straightforward. The five kids play 90% of the characters in the backwater town of Shuckton, where death has literally come to town. In fact, he's staying at the the No-tell Motel. As the story evolves, we move between a handful of story lines - all revolving around murder in the town. We follow the trial of a 1/16th native suspect, the ascension of the mayors wife, rivalry in the local news crew and sofa-bound former hockey hero Ricky's dodging of death as he's compelled to solve the crime.
There may not be the screaming highlights of the show ("My pen!", Girl Drink Drunk), but it's all solid and full of laughs. Fat, thin, male, female - it makes no difference as the Kids seamlessly blend in and out, building a convincingly ridiculous picture of the intricacies of small town life.
"What's heaven like?"
"It's like Calgary. In the 60's."
