I watched 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and 'Braindead' last night.
I had just finished reading fear and loathing so the film was okay. I like Johnny Depp as an actor and he was very good in this. He played the completely twisted Raoul Duke perfectly; just as I'd imagined. I'd recommend the book over the film as the film basically quotes from the book verbatim and cuts some scenes out. Hunter S Thompson is brilliant, regardless.
Braindead is a film I've wanted to see for a while and only just got around to it. I'm sure most of you have seen it already but it really was crazily violent. It's good for just a stupid film to chill whilst watching and had some funny parts. I don't think it is in the same league as The Evil Dead, mind.
