Mulberry Street and Falconer

A sci-fi movie about some sort of disease carried by rats that turns people into zombie/rat/creatures...

So far, not actually that bad. Actually believable characters... i.e. people acting like you'd expect in those circumstances, no ridiculously attractive females who seem to be allergic to wearing shirts...

Might take me a while to get through it, as I'm trying to listen to the new Falconer album on YouTube during the commercial breaks...

And a glorious moment, where father reconnects with daughter... and then the third passenger gets pulled through the back window...

I must say, I do like the effect that they use sometimes, where something really action-ful is going on, but its all really quiet, or just some rather serene music... It works quite effectively...

And now since its commercial break, I can talk about music. Dreams and Pyres from the new Falconer album. Its got another effect that I really like. The song starts off all slow and melodic, and then after a little while goes all crazy and fast and loud. I likes it. Same thing with "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" on the latest Maiden album.

And I like how some company is advertising their extra large pizza like its something special... now rather than just large, its extra large! or something...

and now everyone's getting et by the rat creatures... just the dude and his daughter now...

and it ends how every zombie-type movie seems to. The authorities show up just after the main character gets bit, and then valiantly commits suicide, taking out the last of the attackers...

and then the other surviving main character gets shot in the boob by a tranquilizer...

and they didn't ruin the ending by having one of the creatures who was previously seemingly dead wake up, and then cut to black...

All in all, this was actually a rather good movie. I was pleasantly surprised. Enough character stuff to make you actually care about the characters, and enough action to keep you interested.

And a nice gritty filming style, made it seem sorta documentaryish...

I'd recommend watching it given the chance, if you don't mind the fact that I've ruined the ending for you...

And the new Falconer album continues the tradition of having at least one song sung in Swedish. Now its officially a Must-Buy for me...
