28 Weeks Later
Cartilage Head:
28 Days was a pretty good movie. The absence of Cillian Murphy in 28 Weeks might kill it for me though (I have a hetero-man crush on Cillian.)

Is this becuase the new one is coming out so soon? Because they made the first one with no plans for a sequal and no idea of how well it would be recieved. But I guess seeing it for the first time right before the second one is released might somehow make it seem more promotional.
EDIT:
The director of '28 Weeks Later' is the director of a fantastic spanish film called 'Intacto' which was very well done and very nicely shot. In other words, I have high hopes despite the absence of Boyle.

He's not entirely absent...I was fairly certain he stayed on as a producer...

(I usually maintain a strict diet of skepticism and pessimism about new movies, so as to be, at the worst, confirmed in my beliefs. It's been a long time since a movie has failed to live up to my expectations) With that said, maintaining said skepticism is exceedingly difficult when I think about how much I liked the first one.

You know, being enthusiastic and excited is way more healthy and F-U-N than being skeptical and pessimistic. Some times stupid people have the right idea, its better to be "for" something than "against"

I dunno; my method seems to be working. I can't remember the last time I walked out of a theater and was disappointed in what I saw, since my standards are so low. Most of it comes from Hollywood consistently churning out pathetic sequel after pathetic sequel, but I find that not getting my hopes up serves me very well. In the case of 28 Weeks, you can call it extremely reserved hope. The first film was wonderful; while film-makers consistently fail at life, the second one is following a wonderful movie.
