Film

Source Code – A nice understated Sci-fi that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

After starting to write the odd note for all the films I’ve watched, since earlier this year, its been interesting to have a reference place to quantify them all against each other. Despite some ratings being inevitably debatable, i don’t think its been a great year for films. Aim for this year – watch less mediocre 5-7 stars and more 8+ stars.

Television Series

Pointless – So good I bought the board game. 

Album

Beach House – Teen Dream - may have been somewhat subconsciously lured to choose this by its use in adverts for Guinness.

Song

Black Francis – Six Legged Man

Live Music

Willy Mason – Review here.

Game

Paul product image Buy Now
Portal 2 - A really great, good head scratch inducing, game with some very amusing characters. Only downside is a severe lack of re-playability once the puzzles are solved.

So good I bought it twice. 8-)

Also spawned this excellent fan mod.

Previous years winners – 2010, 2009.
