Ogden Marsh, Iowa is a sleeping little farming town of 1260 people. The community is shocked, therefore, when the Sheriff (Timothy Olyphant) has to shoot a man for walking onto the baseball field with a loaded shotgun. This is only the beginning as the madness spreads through the town, turning ordinary citizens into murdering psychopaths. Then the military swoops in to contain the threat, separating the healthy civilians from those with elevated temperatures. When the Sheriff's wife (Radha Mitchell) is taken, however, he has to break back into the infected zone in order to save her.I liked this more than I expected to which is always a nice surprise. It's not outright horror, just a run-of-the-mill pandemic, so it's safe for all you squeamish types. Worth a rental if you're in the mood.
In completely different news, I also finished watching season one of Coupling, the British show Friends is based off of, and it was hilarious. Only six half-hour episodes so you could conceivably knock it out in an afternoon.
