Beginnings

Ah so I am attempting a review blog for the films and albums I consume on an all to regular basis. I have, for the past two years reviewed every album and film I buy/watch out of four stars and have TWICE lost these to computer errors. So this is slightly more permanent. The stars are somewhat arbitrary but basically represent thumbs up or down. Some are qualified. For example The Expendables should receive one star aka two thumbs down for being a terrible movie, but it gets two complementary stars because I enjoyed the mindless stupidity of it quite a lot. I dont even know who's going to read this but whatever. This format also allows me to update reviews later on on further viewings/ listenings.

My first post will end with all the movies I've seen since August and my second post will be of albums purchased/acquired since August. I do not count borrowing albums or those received off of a friend's memory stick as being acquired.

Without further ado, smash goes the champagne and the SS Terrible sails away into the ... something:
