It looks like I'm having a Ridley Scott week; I had planned on watching Blade Runner again but I'll do that tomorrow. And it's also a Sigourney Weaver week since earlier in the week I watched Political Animals (why no continuation, it was superb!?)

A brilliant series of films. I agree with Betty that #2 is the best. You have to watch them.
I have just finished watching Dredd, with Karl Urban in the title role. Unusually, you don't get to see his face through the whole movie, as he is wearing a helmet, which is true to the comics. Much, much better than the Stallone Dredd, which was a travesty, but it won't be to everyone's taste. Lots of violence and blood.
