SF31 reviews, part 1

Just for the heck of it, and coz I'm a fan of instant gratification, I'm gonna release my SF31 reviewlets in chunks, rather than waiting until I've written then all up. (Also coz I'm a slow writer and I feel self-conscious about spending too much time on this all at once.)

( King Kong (1933), The Batman (1943), Steamboy, and Fire Maidens from Outer Space! )

(no subject)

Somewhat dopey Kurt Loder review of V for Vendetta but it answers some of the questions I have about the movie, such as whether Weaving keeps his mask on. I approve of the answers, and am faintly surprised and impressed that they've apparently kept what I assumed would be a droppable sub-plot (with whats-her-name the doctor). Maybe this means that the flashbacks of V's past will actually be presented like they were in the comics, which would be good.
