Recent DVD splurge

Being sick, and last weekend, I've had the opp to watch some new release DVDs. Here's the list order of being watched (first to last) and some words

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Liked this a lot. Beautifully shot. The scene with the sub was genuinely dramatic. A tragic romance. Awesome CGI.

Bolt
Animation was spectacular. Story was excellent. Voice work good. Rhino (a hamster in a ball) stole the movie.

W.
Great stuff. Brolin nailed Bush. Elisabeth Banks as Laura was disturbingly cute. Thandie Newton's Condie was hilarious. Loved Dreyfus as Cheney - though Dreyfus didn't have that Walrus barking growl that we know and love.

Big Stan
TheWife vetoed this as a couple choice so this was a movie for me being at home sick. I liked it. Sure, basic plot, but the humour was okay and I did like the positive no rape message.

This shouldn't be a spoiler because it's in the previews but in order to retard the likelyhood of rape, Big Stan gets a sphincter tatt. Something really scary. In the best traditions of cinema where what is not seen is scarier than what is ... we don't see it. But the horrified guard who does (during a strip search) says it's alien and another that it stares right into his soul.

My mental pic for a prison rape stroke killer of a sphincter tatt ... was this.
