Shooter
Semi-predictable, but well put-together. Kept me watching to the end. 7.5/10
Disturbing Advert
Does this freak make you want chocolate?

Homemade Microwave Guns
OK. You’ll need an old microwave, a toolbox, and a cat.

INTERCAL
Anything the compiler can’t understand, which in a normal language would result in a compilation error, is just skipped. This “forgiving” feature makes finding bugs very difficult; it also introduces a unique system for adding program comments. The programmer merely inserts non-compileable text anywhere in the program, being careful not to accidentally embed a bit of valid code in the middle of their comment.
Dead and Deader
Cheesy zombie horror. It’s ok, but its not ‘good’. 6/10 (‘Evil Aliens‘ was better)
88 Minutes
Reasonably entertaining. Pacino was … Pacino. Nobody else stood out though. 7/10

Hannibal Rising
Birthday Happenings
The Prestige
Magic and misdirection. Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman. More story than special effects. 8/10.
