Principles in the Mel-ocracy

Principles in the Mel-ocracy:

1. I don't download pirated movies/TV or copy movies for free.
2. I don't take my shoes off at the cinema and put my feet up on the seat in front - this is gross people! People's heads rest where your stinky feet have been!
3. I don't check my phone during the movie. Even if it's on silent you can still be annoyed by the glowing screen. You are not so important it can't wait 2 hours.
4. I usually stay to the end of the credits, just in case there is a bit at the end.
5. I do talk in films if necessary, but quietly.
6. I will annoy my companions by guessing the movie within 3 seconds of the preview starting, if possible.
7. If nobody else wants to go, I will go by myself rather than miss out.
8. I don't spoil endings or twists.

Short DVD Review - Premium Rush

Welcome to the first in a planned series of SHORT dvd reviews, for those who don't like to read a lot!

DVD: Premium Rush
Category: Action/Thriller
Rating: 8 out of 10

Think a movie about bicycle couriers sounds boring? Nup! Premium Rush is a thrilling adrenaline ride of a film. Adrenaline junkie New York bike courier Wilee and his fellow courier girlfriend become embroiled in an intriguing chase scenario when Wilee picks up a mysterious envelope from the girlfriend's quiet roommate with 'premium rush' importance.  A nutcase cop seems to be willing to do anything to take it from him.  What could be inside?  Even when you find out, it's still a butt-clenchingly tense scenario!

Pros: Tense, original storyline; excellent stunts; Joseph Gordon-Levitt sparkles; fun CGI bits that show Wilee's possible passages through tight New York traffic and their nasty outcomes.

Cons: Michael Shannon is a tad over the top as the lacking 'impulse control' copper.
