The Book Of Eli isn't a bad movie at all, but it does leave you with a bundle of questions:

Why wasn't that film twenty minutes shorter?

Was it a god fearin', gun totin' advert for going to church - or was it pointing out that even if the smallest bit of religion is about then a lot of people are going to kill each other as a result?

Where exactly has Mila Kunis found a surviving All Saints store?

What are the odds of an amazingly ironic A Boy and His Dog poster turning up on the wall of a post apocalyptic hovel?

Why was that henchman whistling the pan-pipe bit out of Once Upon A Time In America?

Based on when the war must have happened, did none of these characters ever watch Mad Max 2? Play Fallout? Read The Road? Because the blokes who made the film certainly have.

But this is the one that has really got me thinking: Why would a blind man look at the screen of an ipod to check the battery level when it stops playing? Hmmm.

There's always a buzz of excitement whenever it looks like Chris Morris is about to do something a bit controversial, remember all the outrage about the Brass Eye paedophilia special? That caused a bit of a fuss.

After doing the short film My Wrongs 8245-8249 & 117 and appearing in the IT Crowd (neither of which caused any Daily Mail headlines) he is back with the cinematic treat Four Lions, which as far as anyone can tell is a comedy about some rather shit terrorists. In the last day or so the media world has been falling over themselves with news of "exclusive" footage of the following short clip - which turns out to be exclusively available to everyone on You Tube. I have laughed repeatedly at the slightly incredulous "IRA voice?".

The film is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival tomorrow, no idea when it might be out here yet. More info at the Warp Films web site.
