Nice review. In all mentions of Zodiac I always like to draw a comparison with the Korean movie Memories of Murder, by Bong Joon Ho (The Host), which I prefer because of the more unique sensibilities of that film, including giving police brutality a hilarious edge.

I'd have watched it by now if they got Dirty Harry to investigate the Zodiac case but yeah, I'll check it out anyway. JP's supposed to be bringing me his DVD when we meet tomorrow.

I caught MoM yesterday and have to say I'm pretty impressed even though the first half seemed to drag a 'lil bit and to be honest I only came to be on my toes when they started chasing that fellow who was masturbating. From then on it was quite an exhilarating ride. You could really feel the frustations at not being able to pin down anything on the fellow when the results came in and also when the nutjob jumps in front of the train, which is quite unlike Zodiac where you just glimpsed 'what would happen if he was caught', or at the most took a neutral stance. Maybe if you're too peculiar even side with Leigh. I also thought Leigh was one of the most interesting villians portrayed onscreen in recent times, I mean I was really impressed when he was being interrogated at the factory(?). IMO way better than 'Nurse Ratched', 'Norman Bates', or argh, 'Darth Vader'.

On a different tangent also saw The Host and House of Sand & Fog, both of which were pretty darned terrific.

Heads-up...Zodiac 2-disc Director's Cut
