The Guard - This movie is hilarious and original with a lot of 1960's and 70's film references from screen shots to character development. The acting is tremendous.
The Trip - Original and funny with lots of great food imagery and outdoor scenery. If you like Steve Coogan you will like this movie.
Midnight in Paris - This movie is definitely Allen's best of the past few years.
Attack the block - This movie is just o.k. If you have seen any decent science fiction movies you have probably seen better story lines and better aliens.
Red State - This movie is really good. I was taken aback by it because I was expecting typical Kevin Smith dialogue and camera work. I was pleasantly surprised by the darkness of the material, the originality of the new lingo, and the fact that it is hard to pin down exactly what genre this movie falls into. I would have to guess that it is a social satire and a bit of a thriller. Also the acting is superb (Michael Parks is amazing).

Breaking Bad season 4 - This season is not as great as the last one, but what it is building up towards will no doubt be amazing.
True Blood season 4 - I think this is the only show that I have ever watched were in the final episode 3 main characters and 3 minor characters are killed off. I think the next season will be crazier than this one due to all of the new story lines that were just heaved upon the audience within the last few minutes of the episode. I like the way the season ended.
