Movie | Lucky Break | Pass

We had a great time watching this monster cast.

TV | Suburban Shootout | Pass

A lot of fun.

Movie | Red 2 | Pass

Entertaining. Lots of explosions.

Movie | Lesbian Vampire Killers | Pass

Absolutely ridiculous, yet baudy fun. From the director of Shaun of the Dead and starring Mathew Horne and James Corden from Gavin & Stacey.

TV | Not Going Out | Fail

Despite the (eventual) presence of Miranda Hart, the incessant laugh track and lack of character development turned us off.

Movie | 47 Ronin | Fail

Hollywood blockbuster barf.

Movie | Vanishing Waves | PAss

Slow as molasses but mind bending.

TV | Outnumbered | Fail

Just didn't really like it.

Movie | The World's End | PASs

An absolute riot.

Movie | Elysium | PASs

Fantastic followup to District 9. Some will compare this to that film. And rightly so. Interestingly, it's more similar than anything else. Blomkamp didn't stray far from the formula, just added a huge cast this time around. But the expected stunning visuals, relentless pace, a social commentary-driven script and a fantastic soundtrack by first-time composer Ryan Amon make this a winner for all but the most jaded.

TV | Green Wing | Fail

TV | Phoenix Nights | Fail

Movie | Blood & Donuts | Pass

Fun, slow-paced, low-budget, comedy horror about a reluctant vampire. It felt and looked very 80s, though it was released mid-90s. I rather enjoyed it. Loved the music.

Comments from Significant Other: Kinda dumb. I didn't like it. Not a lot going on and the acting was terrible.

TV | Nighty Night | Fail

Featuring much of the same cast from the sweet and engaging Gavin & Stacey. The problem here is that everything is the opposite; the characters are neither sweet nor engaging.

Movie | Larry Crowne | Pass

Predictable but cute.

Movie | The Decline of Western Civilization: Part III | PAss

By the mid-90s, I'd mostly lost interest in punk music. For me, it became its' own mode of conformity, everything it screamed to high heaven that it was against. I saw more and more kids wearing exactly the same thing, the music was no longer that creative, kids that didn't conform to the punk ethos were scorned and it was all a front for so much pain.

So this film was very interesting to me. What happened since I stopped caring? Shot in the late 90s...not too much. The only thing really different was that the mainstream had adopted it as part of the culture, which just confirmed my old feelings. The kids in this documentary (which is just as great as the first two installments) mostly rejected all of that, but it was because they were just playing the same old game of numbing their internal pain.

I think, from what little I've seen these days, things are even worse. Punk music is dead. It had to, by its' very nature.

Long live punk and this movie desperately needs to be released on DVD and download.

Movie | Deterrence | Fail

Boring and not very well shot. Some the dialogue is poor, too.

Movie | Unicorn City | Fail

I suppose this would be good if you're a hardcore gamer. It's not poorly done, just not engaging.

TV | Stella (UK) | Fail

Ruth Jones is clearly brilliant and this is clearly a good show. The problem here lies solely with us. We couldn't understand a word they said, their accent was so thick. So not really a fail per say, more a failure on our part.

No relation to the US comedy troupe.

Movie | Nina Conti: Talk to the Hand | Pass

Comedy performance documentary starring the always funny ventriloquist, Nina Conti. I don't normally like this sort of thing, but she's brilliant.
