Accursed Roswell

Spent most of the afternoon running around looking for the increasingly elusive Roswell third season DVDs. Kung Fu Hustle? Found it in a flash. The Place Promised in Our Early Days? Ditto. Even the sole copies of Hero and Dog Soldiers Circuit City had discounted weren't this hard to find. But find them I did and so my wife will be enjoying the last episodes of the show come her birthday. All in all an expensive, if frustrating, day. But hey, every so often you have to live a little.

Zatoichi is an absolutely amazing movie. And there's a little of everything in there. Nicely done fight scenes, wonderful comedy, a dance number that seemed inspired by Stomp, and even some heart-breaking drama as we get some of the back story of some of the characters. If you haven't seen it, go now. Go now, rent it and watch it. It's brilliant.
