Christmas Dinners I Have Known But Never Made A Move On
Irene and Nan’s after a day out in the go-karts was the scene of the crime, a beautifully prepared Christmas Dinner tortured under the heat lamps in contravention of article 3.2 of the Geneva Convention.
I’d say this had the potential to go 4 stars — it would have lost the fifth on the strange occurrence of mint in the stuffing — but it was dried up like the Gobi and only narrowly beats the mess that was Ruby’s as a result.
PS. If during the nights procedings you find yourself talking to an attractive girl about the merits of HTML over Flash you know your life is over. Pack up and go home young man, that’s quite enough from you.
PPS. Our man in the field informs us that this meal is FOUR TIMES the cost of the Ruby’s One Star Affair, that would probably knock this down to ZERO stars if I had parted with my own cash for it.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand†
Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
Ah, the very same dinner I had last week. It would only have had one star from me, for the reasons above, plus the fact that many of the carrots were quite badly burnt. And, for the money, I would have expected it to be better.
ejh: Didn’t see the bill, thus saving it from one star shame.
Nigh on four times the cost of Ruby’s. And the ‘complimentary’ bottle of champagne for every four people would not redeem it from the one-star-ness.
Shocking.
