TV | The Blacklist | PAss

The pilot was excellent and so was the second episode. This is the James Spader dog and pony show - a good thing in our eyes (we're fans), but if you don't like him you won't like it. It remains to be seen if the momentum can continue. I hope so!

TV | The Michael J Fox Show | Fail

As unimaginative as the title and no more creative.

TV | The Crazy Ones | Fail

Nothing to like or find interesting here. There isn't even anything crazy going on.

Movie | Clash of the Titans (2010) | Pass

Maybe I was just in a good mood, but I rather enjoyed this. Reminded me of 300, frankly. More than the original, which I've only seen a half dozen times.

Movie | Snow White and the Huntsman | PAss

This reminded me of Legend, which was also panned by critics and moviegoers...and which I also greatly enjoyed.

Movie | Puss In Boots | PASs

Furry greatness!

Movie | El Gringo | Fail

Really bad acting.

TV | Sleepy Hollow | Pass

TV | Brooklyn Nine-Nine | Fail

The pilot was terrible and a complete waste of time.

Movie | More Brains! | Pass

Movie | Boy | Pass

Movie | Johnny English Reborn | Pass

Surprisingly fun.

Movie | The Perfect Host | PASs

Worthy of Hitchcock, but gruesome. Just too real, mainly because of the spectacular acting. I learned to use the fast forward button and enjoyed this greatly. Stick with it; it's all worth it in the end!

Movie | The Watch | Pass-ish

Just a way to pass an hour and a half. Oodles of foul language for zero comedic effect.

Movie | Life of Pi | PAss

Visually stunning, well done (even the animation) and interesting. The only thing bad is that there are several times where it is quite slow and there are some really upsetting animal scenes. Most definitely not appropriate for younger children.

Movie | Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World | Pass

Movie | Oblivion | PASS

Absolutely gorgeous, in every way. Same director as the Tron reboot.

I think a lot of movie goers aren't going to get why this is such a great film though. Most likely because they're just there for the explosions. That's too bad; they're missing a beautiful movie that has a lot to say and pays homage to some great sci-fi classics.

TV | Trollied | Fail

We didn't get into this one, either. Though it was slightly better than some we've tried lately.

TV | Bad Education | Fail

Didn't engage us.

TV | Starlings | Fail

Despite the presence of Matt King (who also wrote this), it's boring.

TV | Misfits | PASSPASSPASS

SPECTACULAR, ground breaking and now part of television history. R-rated must see!

TV | Last Tango In Halifax | Fail

Boring.

Movie | Downloaded | PAss

Very good, but not for folks that don't understand the lingo.

TV | Strange Hill High | Pass-ish

Despite Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Man to Man with Dean Lerner, The Mighty Boosh, etc.) providing one of the voiceovers, this wasn't very engaging. I think it works better as a show for children without trying to speak to adults. That's fine, just not what I was expecting. Plus, puppets are so often dumb. They are mildly interesting here because they are manipulated with sticks and their mouths appear to be animated (well, I might add). But it's not enough to add up to an interesting show. Is this the end of Ayoade's brilliance? I find that hard to believe. He just needs to do his own projects.
