Brainzzzzzz, Mmmmmmmm!

Just got back from 28 Weeks Later.

Some thoughts:

1. Rose Byrne is so pretty. Seriously, I could stare at her soulful, intelligent eyes, strong profile and kissable lips for hours and be perfectly entertained. It'd almost be worth it to be chased by zombies if it meant that she would stand very close to me and whisper comforting words to me before giving me a full body hug. I mean there was one shot where she was just like sitting staring at a computer screen, before she turned her head a little and looked out a window and I was like *SWOON* Cause Rose Byrne is hot like that.

2. Imogen Poots (Tammy) has an unfortunate name, but is one of the most stunning people I've seen in a long time. She has some crazy gorgeous eyes. And they kept on giving us full screen face shots of her and all I could think is "this girl should be a model". Sometimes it was like watching a perfume ad or something because even covered in blood and grime she was so ridiculously luminous. In about three years, when she's an age range that's more comfortable for me, I'll comment on her kissable lips (see: Rose Byrne above)

3. Wow, kids really do ruin everything. When Scarlet was complaining about them not telling her that they were letting kids into Britain, I thought it was cute because it was Rose Byrne saying it and everything she says is awesome, but that she was also being a bit of a drama queen. However, she turned out to be right (how could I have doubted you and your sincere eyes Rose!?!) because in less than 24 hours those kids managed to frak up EVERYTHING! And then frak it up even more at the end. Seriously, the French are going to hate the English even more now thanks to Andy! [sarcastic]Merci, Andy![/sarcastic] *sneer* *mustache twirl* *throwing of rotten arms and legs*

4. Jeremy Renner! I love this guy, and as usually he was dreamy as Doyle. Plus, I'm convinced Doyle thought that Scarlet's lips were kissable too, which makes me like him even more. I was saddened when he died (a really horrible death at that). Damn you, Harold Perrineau. Seriously, between Michael on Lost, and this role, if it wasn't for Mercutio I'd be questioning my love for you, because Flynn was an asshole. My pretty Doyle and Scarlet, not to mention Skinny Crying British Man in the Blue Shirt, would have lived if you had just picked them up the first time. Though killing those zombies with the helicopter blades WAS pretty cool (though Planet Terror kind of beat you to it).

5. The kids father bugged. At the beginning he was kind of interesting because of his very human 'flight' instead of 'fight' response, and though it was idiotic his reaction to seeing his wife was also very real, and the scene that followed was quite scary. However, after that the character just became highly irritating. All I kept on muttering was "when did Robert Carlyle turn into the Terminator?"

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't as awesome as the first one, but I thought that it was a decent film. It kept me entertained, there were some really moving scenes, and the cast was very pretty.

Also, I got to see a Rise: Blood Hunter trailer before it, which ruled. Lucy Liu... with my girl, Drew... Cameron D. and Destiny Charlie's Angels, Come on ... oh wait, no none of them except Lucy Liu ... with a short bow, and a blonde Carla Gugino, and vampires, and TOTALLY AWESOME! Well, probably not, but it's totally awesome to me anyway.

Not reading the whole thing because I haven't seen it yet, but yes, Rose Byrne is pretty.

And I laughed for a good minute when I read the names of the kids in the movie. Mackintosh Muggleton didn't get any breaks in that department either.

Imogen's 17, btw, perfectly legal in some countries ;)

I try not to think about this movie too much because if I did I'm pretty certain I would hate it. I absolutely *lurve* 28 Days Later and this was just.. ugh.

I think I would have enjoyed it more had two specific things not happened -

1. Had they seriously not tried to make me believe that the military, after finding a survivor, one who may be infected, would NOT be guarded 24/7 with a platoon of soldiers!?!

2. Or have a scene where pretty Rose Byrne and the kids go down into the subway and Rose has the kids go first!?! All I kept thinking was 'you know, if there's anything actually down there, she's going to blow those kids heads off before she shoots them!'.

That and they seemed to have traded scary for LOUD. I seriously thought my eardrums were going to burst from the 'ooh, this scene is scary. How can you tell - the music's LOUD!!!'!

ugh, now you're makin' me want to watch 28 weeks later, after I swore on my stack of Resident Evil books that I wouldn't.... (zombies shouldn't run, dammit... *nods to self*)
how old is this here Imogen then that she's not in a comfortable age range?

Hmm... I was going to wait for the DVD release of this but Rose Byrne has sucked me in with her gorgeous... umm well everthing. She's got like a Jordana kind of perfectness happening and I dig it muchly.

She's so pretty that you go past thinking about how pretty she is to wondering how it's even possible.
