London photo: a Rik Mayall postage stamp?
I like the idea of a Royal Mail stamp to honor Rik Mayall, too.
Happy Christmas movie review: can’t choose your family
Compulsively watchable. Joe Swanberg is a master of subtle dramatic observation, and his films are unlike anything other filmmakers are giving us right now.
Hercules movie review: he fights the lion!
Grading on the Ratner Curve, this is a positive triumph. The cheesy clichés are at least passingly entertaining. You could do worse.

London photo: supersoldier graffiti
I don’t know much about graffiti, but I know that I like this guy. He’s like a combination of Lord Nelson and Iron Man.

Terry Gilliam descends into near self-parody with this mess of a mind-frak about a mathematical formula for the meaning of life that has little to say.
London photo: kitty gets some lovin’
At Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium.
The Purge: Anarchy movie review: standing up to power and privilege
Doubles down on the first film’s angry approach to inequality and violence, and again reflects an image of America that is ugly but only slightly distorted.
