The Machinist
The Machinist (2004)
9/10
An excellent movie
21 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I entered the cinema expecting quite a mediocre thriller. There was actually a point when i thought that the movie was being strange for the sake of being strange. I was surprised. In my honest opinion i would have to say that THE MACHINIST is much better than MEMENTO. Don't get me wrong. MEMENTO was a fantastic film but i found THE MACHINIST more gripping. I think that Christian Bale's performance is amazing and i'm not just saying that because he lost weight for it. I thought Michael Ironside's performance was brilliant too even though he was only in it for a short while i found his character very creepy indeed. The faults don't even need mentioning. One CGI shot is very obvious but this is a trivial fault, i mean i wasn't watching the movie for fantastic CGI effects was i. Neither are you. You're watching it for the story the film is telling you and how it is delivered. There is also a part where Arnies words rang in my head "See you at the party Richter".

All in all one of the best films this year so far.

Peep Show
Peep Show (2003–2015)
The best Brirish Comedy in years
13 January 2005
It is true that this show did not attract a lot of viewers. I watched it on its first airing but, to be honest, this was pure luck, there was nothing else on to watch so i decided to watch it. After the first episode i was hooked. It was wonderfully written and just brilliant overall. Nearly everything is funny from the things each person says to the looks on their faces in certain situations. (See Jeremy's face when he refers to "the bad thing")

After seeing it i had to tell my friends. People can get very proud when they say that they switched a particular group of people onto a film or T.V show and i am no different. It is a comedy i am proud i stumbled upon and a show i'm sure you'll love once you've seen.

After series 1 i was disappointed, i knew that they wouldn't be making anymore, it was on the late night T.V slot and never talked about, i was horrified to know that there would be no more Peep show.

Then BANG, Series 2 came on. And no, it didn't get worse. In fact i find it improved upon the first and seemed more confident. I am A big fan of the office but i find peep show somehow, well, i find it a lot funnier, don't know about you. 5/5
