“No one is going to call you Mayhem if you keep acting like such a pussy! “—Sammy Williams as Probs in Attack the Block

Perfect Sense (2011, UK) What an interesting movie: a romance tucked inside an end-of-life-as-we-know-it sci-fi apocalyptic thriller. And thoughtfully done, too, with IMHO just the right amount of chaos in the [...]
