“Ma’am, I’m eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don’t think so.”
A great Christmas movie, undercurrents about family whilst really being about a 8-year old kid thwarting burglars with homemade traps — it’s pretty darn awesome.

Jingle All the Way
“Put that cookie down. NOW!“
An icon that stands up there with the Schwarzenegger greats; bad in every way, but so so good because of it, slapstick fun for all the family.
★★★✩✩
Die Hard 2
“Oh man, I can’t fucking believe this. Another basement, another elevator. How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?”
Another wonderful, terrorist-killing slice of John McClane’s Christmases, no where near as good as the first, but entertaining and even more 80’s.
★★★✩✩
Office Space
“Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be.”
A film that started a revolution, hilarious, deeply resonant, a perfect film about hating your job.
★★★★★
Jackie Brown
“You know, a good cop will never let you know he knows you’re full of shit.”
Some of Tarantino’s best dialogue, it’s a blaxploitation-style heist movie, but so much more — for one the vulnerability and sadness with which each of the characters are played makes it feel so much richer and more grounded than many of his films.
