Scott Pilgrim is a furiously paced action/comedy mash saturated in video game culture. Despite it's facile romcom plot - Pilgrim must fight his new love's ex boyfriends - it's gimmicky gaming overlays and some rank tunes it's a reasonably entertaining watch. I'm not a huge fan of Cera but it's a decent ensemble and they've got a funny, sharp script to work with so it all thunders along keeping you from noticing how paper thin it is. MTV bubblegum but still fun.
Case 39 is fairly unoriginal creepy-kid horror starring Ian McShane and Renee Zellweger. The latter appears as a social worker drawn to a troubled girl, after saving her life then adopting her she realises that the brat is a touch demonic, doh, stupid tight face Renee. There's nothing outstanding or memorable about the film whatsoever, it barely musters a thrill let alone a scare, the acting is perfunctory and the deaths unexciting. Makes the Orphan seem like a classic.
