cillian murphy movie marathon - Day One

Since E has been dreaming about cillian murphy and getting this unique irishman stuck in her imagination (she can elaborate further in a post of her own) we decided on revisiting some of the more interesting C.M. movies of his brief career. A lot of them were good movies that got your attention but fell just short of being "re-watchable." It would take a convenient excuse like showing them to a friend who had never seen them to get some re-play. Well, a cillian murphy movie marathon provided just that excuse.

The movies on our short list are 28 Days Later, Batman Begins, and Red Eye- and we will probably see Girl with the Pearl Earing and Intermission as well. Today we started with 28 Days Later - and it started if with a full-frontal of bearded cillian murphy. Hmmmm. Didn't remember that one. Just what was this girl getting me into.

The rest is history: super-fast acting Zombies, post-apocalyptic London-town, the bonds of family and human relationships, the dark lord-of-the-flies-type Military outpost, and the happy ending. Not bad for a horror/ zombie film. Worth the second viewing. Danny Boyle was solid (maybe we should re-do Millions now and get some 2nd perspective on that).

"Did cillian murphy have a part in that movie?"
Well, he had a part in that movie...
