Sarah Silverman has a solution to end world hunger

The woman really makes me laugh, she really does. I've been checking out YouTube to see what of her stuff is out there and think I'll be together a highlights package to convince doubters over the next couple of days. Watch this space and I'll leave you with this Internet meme classic....

James Cameron does have a sense of humour

Legion

Legion is the very directorial outing for former Visual Effects man Scott Charles Stewart and is all about the efforts of a bunch of midwest American folks to survive a biblical apocalypse with a little bit of help from Archangel Micheal.

Unsurprisingly given his background the strongest aspect of Stewart's film is the way it looks. With suitably creepy adversaries as they scuttle across the roof and suitable majestic looking wingspans on the Archangels that feature.

It however could have done with a couple of turns at tightening up the script and story. We get vague attempts at adding depth to the array of typical 'Assault On Precinct 13' siege survivors but crucially the least convincing one is the guy who ends up effectively saving humanity.

Paul Bettany's Micheal just about gets away with it thanks to a spirited performance of wild eyed steeliness. Although a last minute reprieve for him cheapens an earlier sacrifice.

The main issue however is the film doesn't really commit to a given a scenario. A slightly overlong preamble means that when things kick off the film lurches from set piece to set piece trying to fit as many in as it can when it may have worked well as a tension racked siege instead of a flurry of fists and guns.

One that falls into that 'mostly forgettable' category when the idea is better than the execution.

Trailer of the day ; The Social Network

Yes, I know it's judt been videos and trailers recently but I'll get to something more soon. In the meantime it's a first look at David Fincher's return with The Social Network and early word of mouth is promising indeed.

Another breakout from Sundance and one that could well be the film of the year.

Looking forward to the next series of True Blood? Well so is Snoop Dogg;

It certainly makes me chuckle.
