I saw 90 movies in 2013 (or shortly thereafter, if we’re being honest- I don’t know how anyone is expected to see all the Christmas releases in one week!). 90 is a lot of movies, or at least it is for me (I head up My Theatre and My TV, My Cinema is Rachael’s problem). […]

In The Lower […]
This week’s episode of Vikings was solid. It wasn’t a stand-out like last week’s ‘Eye for an Eye’, but in fairness to ‘Answers in Blood’, it’s hard to top an episode where you nail one of your main characters to a crucifix.
