The Thing, the new one featuring more Norwegians than have ever appeared in a non-Norwegian movie before.
It was surprisingly pretty good! Nowhere near Carpenter's 80s classic, but faithful to the mythology, and it ties in quite nicely as a prequel. And the CGI take on the over-the-top visceral body horror that made the 80s movie so wonderful is quite well done.
Now I'm itching to play some Dead Space...
Ditto, pretty much. It wasn't blazingly original, obviously, but there were quite a few tense scenes.
I bet it was interesting trying to figure out how to write a story around the scenes from the Norwegian camp in the 1982 version. I thought they did a pretty credible job. Even if you (generic you) don't rush right out and see it in theaters it's probably worth a look on video.
