If I had talent, I'd be writing novels instead of blogs.

Holiday
I'll be away for the next two weeks. One week I'm on holiday, and the other week I'm reserving to apply the shit out of the legal sector, like the little sellout that I am. John will still be doing his weekly film reviews, however.
GUEST REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One)
November 21, 2010 by jorusgodmonger
Watching Deathly Hallows feels a bit like I’ve gone and sat in the waiting room at the hospital nearest to a major disaster of some kind. People keep wandering in to announce to any and all that will listen that yet another person has died. And then the people sat around me start crying. Seriously, […]

Customer Service Nightmares #1
Having worked in customer service for over seven years, I've come across my fair share of awkward customers. One of my particular favourites comes from when I worked in a supermarket. A customer had a go at me because he had too many cards in his wallet.
GUEST REVIEW: 500 Days of Summer

To demonstrate this, I'm going to tell you about my favourite comic book.
Living without an iPhone
Last week, my iPhone fell victim to the well-documented signal fault and I had to send it back. I was aware that it would take a week to be returned. Two of my friends-- fellow iPhone owners-- were aghast. 'But Liam! How will you cope?' Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't miss my iPhone. At all.
Restoring my faith in zombies
When I saw the posters for the TV adaptation of The Walking Dead, I scoffed. 'Zombies. There's something we don't see enough of these days. That's going to be shit.' I'm glad to say I was proved wrong. Dead wrong (hur hur...).
GUEST REVIEW: Burke and Hare
November 6, 2010 by jorusgodmonger
This isn’t a bad film, it’s not a great film. It’s one of those films that are alright, and a fine way to pass the time.
