Week in Review: January 7 - 12

Awards - This was an award filled week.  First up was the People's Choice Awards, followed by the Critic's Choice Awards.  Most importantly, though, were this years Academy Award nominations.

Birthdays -  Birthdays this week included David Bowie - who announced the release of new music - the Duchess of Cambridge, and Diana Gabaldon.

Movies - Three movies this week; Judd Apatow's Knocked Up and it's sort-of-sequel This is 40 and the teen party film Project X.  The best is, by far, This is 40, and the worst is, also by far, Project X.

Books - Continuing with the Terry Pratchett novels, this week we did the City Watch Discworld novel Men at Arms which was awesome.

TV - No TV this week, sorry. Life got a bit in the way.

Recommendations - Two limited releases this week, Quartet and Struck by Lightning, both of which look great, and the wider release Gangster Squad.  I want to see all of these.

Next Week - Tomorrow we'll continue the Harry Potter-a-thon with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and a review of this year's Golden Globes. Movie of the week will be Gangster Squad which I've been anxious to see for months now.  Not sure about the rest of the week, but there'll be something.

Requests - Anything I should watch? Let me know!
