You'd think that when one was prostrate upon the couch that it would be a good time to watch movies, but actually there was nothing on, it was painful to get up and root thru the DVD collection, and I was not going out to the mailbox to get my Netflix. But I managed to see a few
"Yojimbo" (the Bodyguard) awesome classic Kurosawa flick, I think "Fistful of Dollars' copied it nearly scene for scene
"Curse of the Were-Rabbit" - cheeeeese, Gromit!
"Resident Evil II" - I thought it was interesting that she went into the surplus store and came out in a belly-baring camisole, matching mesh tank with picot edging and stretchy boot-cut pants. Army must've had a lot of those left over--don't ask, don't tell! My other favorite thing (aside from my beloved zombies) was the name "Raccoon City". The Japanese are so bizarre, what self-respecting American town would name itself "Raccoon City"? I could see a tiny place named "Coonville" or something, but an entire metropolis for bandit masked, bandy tailed varmits?
"Children of Men" - I really liked this and enjoyed wallowing in the atmospheric dystopia of a species with no hope facing down it's own extinction
"The Station Agent" - what is a friend and what is not? Why do we want them? Why do we need them? I am only 5" taller than Peter Dinklage.

Isn't "The Professionals" a copy of "Seven Samurai" also?
