Fresh Ingredients - week of 01/26/2009

As I write this, the no. 2 episode of Battlestar from part 2 of this final season is playing. It's an improvement over last week, which pulled the rug out a few two many times. This week (or technically last week) they've returned to some extra fun practicality - cylons are friends, enemies, people are too, people are also uprising and it's all a delicious mess.

Also picked up and thoroughly recommendable: The demo for Project Origin (also known as FEAR 2) . It's goddamned scary is what it is. Scarier than the first game. They made the graphics better, which only helps the terrifying atmosphere. And when I say helps, I mean it helps prompt you to pee your pants. Full version on February 10th

Tomorrow (the datestamp will read today because it's late-ish) I will be checking out Revolutionary Road.

I'm behind on the following, I really need to catch the hell up:

Slumdog Millionaire

The Wrestler

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Frost / Nixon

Gran Torino

Zack and Miri Make a Porno

... I must still be missing something. Some of that is gonna be on video soon for god's sake.

So, thoughts on Revolutionary Road tomorrow night.
