Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Get out your spy guns and spy glasses, we're reviewing Tinker Tailor Soldier Candlestick Maker! No wait, it's Tinker Tailor Soldier Platypus! No, Tinker Tailor Timelord! Oh, let's just get on with it. 
I'm trying to do more stuff in Illustrator, but I never like the colors.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has some great acting and can be really suspenseful, but it's also long and hard to follow.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Get out your computers and rape whistles, we're reviewing the English adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! Man, how good is that trailer? Like, super good? 
A shiny new penny to the person who tells me why I don't ink more often?
If you've read the books or seen the Swedish version, you know what you're in for. If not, get ready for an intense, rape-filled mystery.

The Illusionist

Get out your cards and rabbits, we're reviewing The Illusionist!
This is not what I expected from the same studio that created The Triplets of Belleville. Yes, the animation is astounding, but the story is a bit...depressing.
Minor spoilers ahead.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Get out your pipes and steampunks we're revewing Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Thrones! SHADOWS! It's a game of shadows we are reviewing.
Hey, we were all thinking it. This just needed to be done.
The second installment of the Roberty Downy Jr. Steampunk kung-fu Sherlock Holmes is about as much fun as the first one. If you enjoyed that you should fairly enjoy this.

Sketched TV: House of Lies or 'Thank You for the Airification'

Since I'm kind of a big TV junkie, I thought I'd start reviewing TV shows too. First up, House of Lies!
I was first interested in this when I saw it was Don Cheadle playing the likable jerk in a despicable position, reminiscent of Thank You for SmokingUp in the Air, and even Californication. Unfortunately, it's pretty much an amalgamation of all of those with little else new added on.  Spoilers ahead!

Young Adult

Get out your booze and high school sweatshirts, we're reviewing Young Adult!
I think I got her face pretty well.
When I saw previews for this and learned Patton Oswalt was co-starring, I thought this would be a comedy similar to Bad Teacher. I was wrong. It is a very painful and awkward movie.
