21 Grams Steve Gadd   Fairfax Towne Center   20 February 2004 Benicio del Toro gets his chance to try and outperform Sean Penn in this gritty film about mortality and revenge. The director takes liberties with chronology, perhaps hoping to make it more difficult, and therefore more serious, and the story gets pushed just a little too far, and the result is almost as captivating as Amores Perros.

25th Hour Steve Gadd   DVD   26 December 2003 Edward Norton makes this film work, a variety of "what would you do if you had only 24 hours to live." But what kept the 135 minute runtime from seeming too long was Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is so perfectly square, so jarringly and affectingly out of place, I think they had to splice him in with bluescreen special effects.

28 Days Later Steven Krise   R/C Theater in Frederick   05 July 2003 Definitely not the Sandra Bullock sequel I thought upon first hearing the title. Edgy, gripping zombie thriller set in England from the director of "Shallow Grave" and "Trainspotting". Believe it or not, there isn't any dialogue for the first 20 minutes of the movie...well, other than "Hello?"

28 Days Later Ray Hunley   Some flavor of HBO   20 July 2005 Better than average film of its type. The baddies weren't "undead", just "infected", so technically I didn't break my word.
