Mounds better than the book. What a pity they didn't get to keep trying.

The Boat That Rocked
Who cares if it's 95% fictitious and totally over the top? Long live...

House M.D.: Season 6
Surprised they focused even one episode on someone other than House, but I wish they'd do that again. (Even if I understand insurance less than before watching it.)

24: Season 8
Most of all, I'm going to miss Gregory Itzin as Iago, oops, wrong drama, as President Charles Logan.

Lost: Season 6
The last Lost had enough of a lasting impression to make me lose sleep.

MI-5: Season 6
Oof, that one was especially disheartening.

The X Files: Season 9
I know this was the granddaddy of modern sci-fi shows, and I don't know if I'd call it dated at this point, but can I call it contrived?

Daybreakers
Superior concept, but did we have to go the buckets o' blood way? (Literally, in some scenes they were flinging it by the pailful.)

Emma
There is an egregious lack of actors who can show emotions on their face and not look like clowns doing it. Romola Garai is one of them.

Iron Man 2
Pride goeth? Some surprisingly awful lines, a sad-sack of a Stark for the first 2/3 of the flick, and what was with Sam Rockwell's orange hands?

Inglourious Basterds
It would seem that this is simply an exercise in creating tension within a scene. Otherwise, hasn't it all been done before?

Fantastic Mr. Fox
The moral of the story is: let wild animals be wild? Or is it: understand your own nature? Or perhaps: humans kinda suck?
