18) The Dead. A pretty nice serious take on the zombie genre with some genuinely unsettling moments for a change. Also absolutely gorgeous to look at. I give it 4 out of 5 dismembered limbs. I would have given it five dismembered limbs, but I'm a tough grader and, while very enjoyable, the film wasn't quite emotionally resonant to move me to tears or anything. It was more a matter of admiration for a job well done, and I quite enjoyed it certainly. But, yeah, four severed limbs is enough. No need to get carried away with the severed limbs.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

19) Hugo. Gorgeous film, absolutely beautiful. I give it five out of five...no, wait. I give it four and a half out of five very pointy chins. It lost half a very pointy chin because I didn't cry quite enough.

I'm going to have to change my rating. I find the film Hugo lingering in my thoughts and resonating in a way I'd not anticipated. It really is quite a beautiful film. I give it, now, a full five out of five very pointy chins.
