Movie | Red Dawn (2012) | Liked It

The original had three things; action, a great cast and cheesy 80s goodness. This remake had the first element and that was about it.

Movie | Hendrix on Hendrix | Liked It


Movie | Gymkata | Liked It

Yes please, away. Sooooo bad and I haven't seen it in such a long time. I'd forgotten it's yet another retelling of The Most Dangerous Game. Thanks for loaning me your DVD copy, DayV!

Movie | Stone (1974) | Liked It

Cool Ozploitation flick featuring a couple of actors from Mad Max. Cheaply, quickly made and very dated, it was still a lot of fun. Definitely a cult classic.

TV | Big Time In Hollywood, FL | Didn't Like It

Nothing particularly special or interesting about this other than some really good actors are in it.

Movie | Dumb and Dumber To | Liked It

Nowhere near as clever as the original, but I still watched the entire thing.

Movie | Horrid Henry | Didn't Like It

Not surprising that I didn't like this, even though it had Noel Fielding in it.

TV | The Shield | Didn't Like It

If there's one thing I'm particularly tired of it's police procedurals featuring crooked cops.

Movie | Searching For Sugar Man | Really Liked It

Another fantastic film that I've seen before.

Movie | Automata | Really Liked It

Same premise as Blade Runner, Hardware and other movies that revolve around Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. Like most of those films, this was really good. This was by first time full-length feature director Gabe Ibanez, whose biggest credit prior to this was some animation for the superb The Day of the Beast.

Movie | Lucy | Really Liked It

Another movie I wanted to see again, so I did. Yet another Luc Besson classic!

Movie| Deceptive Practice | Really Liked It

Got a chance to see this again. It was just as fantastic as the first time; really marvelous.

TV | Dig | Liked It

Lots of different storylines that will clearly come together...but do we care long-term? We'll see.

TV | iZombie | Liked It

Avoids the CW taint somewhat, mainly due to some clever dialogue. It will be tricky to stick with this over time, though.

Movie | Dead Snow 2 | Liked It

Funny how much it resembled the Evil Dead franchise. I liked it and there were some clever bits, but somehow I was a bit bored and it definitely felt less than original. It also didn't seem all that mature and it came across as a bit half-baked, as if Michael Bay had made a zombie movie in three days with the change he found in his couch.

Movie | The Judge | Didn't Like It

Unlikeable characters mincing through a boring script...not my sort of movie.

TV | High School USA | Didn't Like It

Didn't like this one either, but it was a bit more clever than the rest with the Archie Comics-style animation and plot lines.

Movie | Now You See Me | Really Liked It

Super fun, though some of the cinematography made me nauseous.

TV | Stone Quackers | Didn't Like It

Another animation that has no reason to be. The characters are walking, talking ducks but they could just as easily have been humans.

Movie | American Movie | Liked It

Very similar to American Movie, but this one revolves around martial arts instead of horror. I liked that movie better than this one, but it was well worth the seven bucks I paid to see it. There's one scene that I wish I could remove from my memory, but it was part of the plot and definitely progressed the main character towards the conclusion.
