V for Vendetta

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason 
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Neither really obscure nor drivel, V for Vendetta (2006) is arguably the greatest comic book/superhero movie celebrating Guy Fawkes Day in recent memory; an excellent film adapted from a great graphic novel and in my opinion the best thing other than the first Matrix the Wachowski siblings have been attached to, though I am looking forward to checking out their pulpy looking Jupiter Ascending next year.

And you just don't ever see people running around wearing Batman or Spider-Man masks at protests around the globe either do you?

Here's the trailer:

The Sci-Fi Boys

Just watched The Sci-Fi Boys (2006) on Netflix.  A veritable love letter to sci-fi geekdom, in particular Ray Harryhausen and Forrest J. Ackerman, I thought it was a great little documentary by Paul Davids (who was also the writer of the excellent 1994 TV movie Roswell with Kyle MacLachlan).  A paean to the true magick of the movies and the sensawunda they inspire in us.
