Seriously. All is going along fine in a reasonably incoherent manner, when suddenly we are subjected to the image of a donkey that's not just looking at the main characters, but looking at them suspiciously. I know it's a suspicious look because the music cue at that moment seems to suggest this.

One of the new breed of zombie movies coming out recently, Dead Creatures tries to take a slightly different angle on the genre. It doesn't work. The problem here, I believe, is a case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

Once again we have a Japanese film set in a post apocalyptic world. It's really quite sad when you realise that the notion of total and utter destruction has not (and apparently never will) left the Japanese psyche.

First of all we're treated to a very noir opening set of credits, which were quite exciting to say the least. Unfortunately they completely misrepresented the film, and were quite possibly the only good part of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

Forget fancy cinematography, bullet time or super slow motion. Forget CGI effects and bluescreen. This film is well and truly 'old school'. The martial arts action is frantic and hurried, recalling the late great Kurosawa's work.

Three Suns tries to be a sweeping historical epic (and feminist film to boot) but fails for the most part. I appreciate that they tried to do a lot with little money, and there are certainly some beautiful images, but the humour is distracting at times, and the emotional moments seem a little too forced.

I also felt that he spoke a bit too familiarly of Tintin's creator, as if he'd known him all his life, rather than simply being in discussion with the man for several days.
