I've yet to see 28 Weeks Later, even though I really wanted to check it out last weekend. Has anyone seen it? Any recommendations?

The last few weeks have been spent pouring through downloaded movies that have stockpiled over months and months. A few that I've seen that I must wholeheartedly recommend were:

SEVERANCE
fun new-horror movie in the vien of Turistas/Hillshaveeyes/HighTension. Not mond blowingly great, but well worth the watch. I think it's getting a US/Canada release. I've seen posters at the theatres.
THE DEAD GIRL
dark, character study of 5 people connected to one crime.
DRAWING RESTRAINT 9
part film, part art installation by Bjork's boyfriend. almost no dialogue for 2 hours.
HOT FUZZ
I feel slightly overrated, not as funny as the trailer, but still good for a laugh.
TRUST THE MAN
kind of veering into typical hollywood dramedy drivel, but great cast.
LA BOULANGERE DE MONCEAU
Eric Rohmer, French new wave style!
BOBBY
not a bad period piece. it had it's moments.
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Spy movie! Sweet. And Angelina Jolie can actually act!
CHILDREN OF MEN on DVD
first time re-watching it since it's boxing day opening. Still as awesomes! Felt a little rushed on the small screen, perhaps a bit muted. A must see on a big screen in a theatre (none of that "home theatre" bullshit!), but definitely one of my fave movies of the past few years.

Lemme know what y'all think of these!
