As I said though, Merrick, I can't swear there's no cows in The Invention of Lying. I gave up paying much attention quite early on. But I'm pretty certain that Zombieland has none.

Sorry to hear there were no cows in it, Jim. My impression is that cows appear in about a third of movies, so given that you've recently reviewed two cowless ones, I think it's statistically likely the next one you review will have some in. To firm up the numbers a bit, I've started keeping a list of movies I watch and the cattle therein. It is, inventively enough, called Cows in Movies.

Hey Larry, I'll look out for La Horde (and yes, Up is very lovely indeed). And I'm afraid there are no cows in it Merrick. There's a mention of them (in the "mad cow disease" line) and I believe there's a cow hide in the Native American craft shop they visit. But no living cows to the best of my knowledge. Sorry.

Agreed - it's a good one, tremendous fun. If you're after a less cuddly sort of zombie movie, I can also recommned La Horde. Talking of Pixar, Up is utterly charming. (It's Leeds film festival at the moment, so I'm watching all sorts.)
