I was playing the beautiful looking Mirror's Edge the other day and was struck by the way in which the first person perspective was very similar to that used in the Kathryn Bigelow directed Strange Days. I haven't seen this film since it came out so don't clearly recall it. Has anyone else made that link?

While on the subject of Kathryn Bigelow I notice, having been quiet for a few years, she has a new film coming out called 'The Hurt Locker'. I think this gives credence to the theory that Hollywood is running out of film titles. Hmm.

Thinking about Directors I haven't heard from for a while but whose films I liked I noticed on the credits of the last Battlestar Galactica episode The Oath that John Dahl took the credit. Surely not the Director of The Last Seduction and other contemporary noir films?
