Just a quick post to apologise for the lack of posts. Guy and I are still trying to pick up our lives since the final episode of Breaking Bad. Trying to answer such questions as
- What to look forward to with no new season of Breaking Bad?
- How long will it be until someone can create such a masterpiece?
- What can fill the void?
I think the answer for me is Game of Thrones but the new season is still a while off. Walking Dead? Yeah not bad. Dexter? Not hearing good things about this last series which is a shame to wrap up a decent show poorly.
Recently started Californication which is a good choice after Breaking Bad. Its lightheartedness is good contrast to the BB intensity.
Also watched the first episode of 'News room' which was pretty great actually. There's also the new Kevin Spacey show house of cards. Oh and Homeland Season 3.
Looks like we will be ok after all however it's hard to go back to speed when you have tried cocaine.
Not much to report on the movie front. Have watched a few over the past weeks:
Disconnect
An interesting film about modern life with a bunch of intertwining story lines. Very similar to 'Crash'. Worth a watch and great different very serious role for Jason Bateman. 7/10
IMDB Info
Pacific Rim
This was a pretty entertaining film. Big budget, simple but satisfying story and some interesting characters. It also has the colourful flare that Del Toro brings to all his films. Don't expect anything too deep but just enjoy the cheese. 7/10
IMDB Info
Curse of Chucky
Was looking forward to this one as I had heard it felt more like the Chucky films of old rather than the more recent Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky etc. I have to admit it was decent, but unfortunately didn't quite have the charm of the originals. I guess its hard to compete with childhood memories. 6/10

There's been a few more but I can't think of em... so couldn't be that great :)
Anyway, back to Californication...
