Weekend Viewing Roundup and Battleship (2012) guest review

Hello folks, hope you all had a lovely weekend. I skipped the cinema again this weekend, as there's nothing that interest me. Besides, I just want to catch up with more of BBC's Sherlock.

Well, I did get to the cinema on Saturday and this weekend I actually saw two movies I wasn't initially …
