Neal Asher – Polity Agent
Another Agent Cormac novel. Maybe I was in the wrong mood for reading it, but it didn’t feel nearly as innovative or thrilling as the previous books in the series. In fact, in places it was a bit of a slog to get through.
Christopher Brookmyre – Attack Of The Unsinkable Rubber Ducks
Jack Parlabane takes on mediums and spiritualists. Entertaining and vitriolic, but not Brookmyre’s best.
Jarhead
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Mostly pointless.
Die Hard 4.0
Stupid, but I liked it. Sometimes you need to give your brain a rest.
Transformers
Moments of stunning awesomeness carefully dotted within an otherwise entirely bland structure.
Hot Fuzz
It’s a shame to compare it to Shaun Of The Dead, because it’s such a different film. But although it is very funny in parts, and it is a good parody of cop action films, it’s doesn’t have the same sustained brilliance of Shaun.
