These pretzels are making me thirsty
Never thought of it, but this could well be my favourite Seinfeld season, presenting such top-notch episodes as The Parking Garage, The Boyfriend and The Limo. Also introducing the first of one of the many regulars, Newman (Wayne Knight), Mr. Lippman (Richard Fancy) and Babu Bhatt (Brian George), the latter however appeared only in three episodes of the entire lenght of the series.

It's medieval out there
This was freaky and not in a positive sense. Who know what happened to Neil Marshall's extraordinary vision of film making, Dog Soldiers and The Descent were outstanding, this flick that tries to be Mad Max and Braveheart and 26 Days Later at the same time fails in everything, from dialogue to acting, from ludicrous story to off-kilter soundtrack. I must have missed something, maybe I'll give the movie a second chance some fine day.

At the top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards
I'm currently reading a very comprehensive - or what seems like a very comprehensive - book about Hunter S. Thompson, therefore the movie of 1 hour and 20 minutes seemed like a waste of time. Pretty cool talking heads here though, like Johnny Depp, Harry Dean Stanton, Sean Penn, Tom Wolfe, John Cusack, Gary Busey, et al. Narrated by Nick Nolte.
Longevity lies within the context of communication
A Jason Statham movie, there's nothing else to it really. Car chases, fights with fists, knives and guns, lotsa running around, macho fuckery abound, one compulsory yet utterly meaninglesss female role to smooth things over.

African Rambo
It just wasn't delivered right. Some things bugged me the fuck off like switching gears between gospel fuckery and the crusader business of the main character, hopping back and forth between Africa and America, and, the ever so frowning face of Gerard Butler.

I am Shiva, the god of death
Subtle, couple of unnecessities aside, near-perfect George Clooney's character-driven conspiracy thriller.
Mindless beasts of the subconscious
Cult sci-fi if there is one. I don't like the movies of the particular genre, but this is a cool figure of it's own right, a real fucken eye-candy.

Cut out of the dark
I don't know how they managed to make this so boring. Gotten off the fucken misery, I prayed the shark had hunted them all down way quicker.
Everything's illegal in Massachusetts
It was on television, so I stuck watching it. In general, I like these vigilante things, but this was never really set into motion.
The wind always dies
With Game of Thrones on a break, this fed the thirst. So, essentially, it was alright, even though the story sucked a few times and the lead actors missed all them lessons that had anything to do with charisma.

A dish best served cold
This has the makings of becoming an intense sadistic thriller, however somewhere and somehow it flopped and ended before anything actually happened.

I'm Samuel hello
I guess there's a point why George A. Romero decided to shoot this dirt-cheap in best or worst amateur style imaginable. Whatever the case, the result, fresh zombie jokes aside, is somewhat stupid.

Don't talk about Satan, just take the boat back
Out of the depths, I cry to you, Oh Lord
The twist long ago revealed, I sort of believed the movie had lost it's magic and allure by now, but it was rather captivating to watch nevertheless.

Fit to bust
Masterful storytelling. What was it, over three hours long or something, I probably could have watched it for days.

Anything but a bay breeze
Trademark Craven. No-nonsense thriller. Definitely nothing remarkably good or different, but hits the right spot alright.
