Slither - 4/5
I finally got around to seeing Slither. It's (a small) part
horror, (large) part bad comedy and an enjoyable hour and a bit. The gore
isn't as bad as I thought it'd be from reading interviews with the director
and it reminded me of Eight Legged Freaks, another funny bad B-movie that I
enjoyed.
Oh, and it's got Nathan Fillion in it. It's not the role that's going to make his career but he does put on a respectable showing.

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children DVD
I'm pretty sure I had a reason for adding Final Fantasy VII - Advent
Children to my Amazon DVD rental
queue, but when it arrived in the post I couldn't think of it.
I've never played the game so I went in to the film cold and have to say that it was actually a decent watch, even for a newbie. The plot makes a little sense, the voice cast were forgettable but some of the animated fight scenes were amazing. Part Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and part pure technology demo it's hard not to come away liking at least the fight scenes.
While looking at the extras I did notice a "Reminisce about Final Fantasy VII" link that sped the viewer through the game. With hindsight I should have watched this first so I'd have more of a clue what was going on... Still I enjoyed it for the sheer technology and fight scenes if nothing else.
