Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Fido - This was a Netflix recommendation (watched it online, connected to the TV. I can't get over how awesome that service is). Really enjoyed it. If you liked Sean of the Dead, and/or Idiocracy, you'll probably enjoy this movie. It falls a little flat, in the same way that Idiocracy does, and some of the acting is not the greatest, but the concept is hilarious and it's overall a good watch.

Mysterious Island - 1961 movie based (I don't know how faitfully) on a Jules Verne book and with Ray Harryhausen animation (sorry, Dynamation). It's exactly what you want out of the genre. Animation was of course great, story epic and cheesy.

What if I loved Shawn of the Dead but despised Idiocracy not only for being unfunny and poorly made but also morally reprehensible in its presentment of the worst type of eugenics and biodeterminism?
