This Year at the Pictures
It seems I've gone to the cinema more times this year than in all my previous years combined. In fact, I've seen so many films the only way I can remember which ones I've seen is by looking at the ticket stubs. So here's a rundown of what's been brilliant and what's bored the hell out of me, and note this is only the films I can remember seeing.

More Movie Reviews
It seems I've been to the cinema more times in the past 3 months than the 3 years before. With a combination of cheap student tickets and special offers, it's often cheaper than a pint of lager which definitely helps. There are a few more films I'm planning to see before returning to Uni, but I've seen the vast majority of the films out today already.
Post Round-Up
I've been meaning to write a few blog posts for months now, but it's reached such a critical mass I decided to lump them all together into one big post. Some reviews will be one liners, others might be longer on how much I remember about the topic at hand. So without further ado, in reverse chronological order, here is what I've been up to the past few months.
The Mash
I know. It's been three, nearly four, months since I posted on HybridLogic. Heck, these are the first posts of 2008 going up. Life's been kind of hectic lately, between Uni, Web and 360, so here's a mach up of all my stuff so far this year.
10,000 B.C.
If you were to read the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes you would get the impression that 10,000 B.C. is one of the worst films to appear this year. With an average score of 10% from the Critics it is well and truly in the rotten department. The Community score is higher at 35% but still undeserving in my own opinion.
I Am Legend
I Am Legend left me feeling unsure of how I felt about it. On the one hand it's another basic action film from Hollywood with heavy use of CGI, big name actor and a basic plot. But unlike the vast majority of the other drivel out right now, it feels like a deeper movie, as if it actually has some backbone for once.
