Resolutions, reviews, rants, raves.
Ok, so life got in the way for a couple of days. Sometimes that happens. I’m surprisingly okay with this, but I promise to keep it to a minimum. Today I watched “the new” Star Trek. It’s a time travelling episode…
| Title: | Star Trek |
| Director: | Jay-Jay |
| The thriller: | The Driller |
| Score: | 3/6 |

I didn’t have high hopes for this one, but boy, was my skepticism ever turned to, well, to enthusiasm? Answer: Yes! Attack The Block is a good old-fashioned alien horror flick echoing long lost terrors of The Thing, War Of The Worlds and Cujo, in which a pack of criminal teenagers get chased by a pack of murderous space monkeys for an hour and a half, amidst a healthy helping of blood, guts and fireworks. Marvellous!
| Title: | Attack The Block |
| Director: | Joe Cornish |
| For the scrapbook: | The teeth! |
| Score: | 8/10 |
| Drink of the day: | …I forgot to hydrate! |
The Saw-franchise takes an unexpected turn for the worse with Saw 3D. I’m a bit of a splatter aficionado, so liked the previous six movies, but this is like a clip show. And what’s with the cheesy gore? Those are clearly saussages ripping out of that lady’s belly at the start. Were the other six movies this cheesy? I don’t think so. Maybe I should watch them all again…
“I watched it in 2D.”
| Title: | Saw 3D: The Final Chapter |
| Director: | Kevin Greutert |
| Memorable moment: | The previous six movies |
| Score: | 3/6 |
| Drink of the day: | O’Boy |

| The lip theory still holds. |
The story of father Oliver O’Grady, serial child molestor, and how the catholic church thinks not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Recommended for all who feel they need a little more anger in their life.
| Title: | Deliver us from evil |
| Director: | Amy J. Berg |
| Score: | 25 kids and counting |
| Drink of the day: | Fizzy lager |
