Rock of Ages
So I was devastated when the Sydney season of this show didn't go ahead, but hey, movie!

Part the second - oh, fuck me, but Game of fucking Thrones, you are KILLING IT. Week after week, they are ( Read more... ) -
I need to post more often.

Wot I have read lately:
Graceling and Fire, by Kristin Cashore. Read on the recommendation of two friends. Two strong heroines, interesting world/s, not completely in love with the style though. ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
For entirely different reasons, I can wholeheartedly recommend Hysteria and A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas. I just about pissed myself laughing at both of them ( Read more... )
