Memento (2000)
A modern noir/thriller/mystery told simultaneously backwards and forwards, with Guy Pearce a convincing sufferer of extreme anterograde amnesia and seeking self–destructive vengeance at all costs.
Californication (TV Series) (2007)
Duchovny is perfect as Hank Moody, a writer (loosely based on real–life self–loather Bukowski) unable to write, living a sex–filled but otherwise shallow existence in LA while trying to get his family back together. A show with heart, balls, and swagger.
Burn Notice (TV Series) (2007)- A highly under–rated series of spy–lovers’ Bond meets Borne, kept light–hearted thanks to the undeniable charm of Donovan and Campbell, and the ever–present comradery of Michael, Sam, and Fiona.
Entourage (TV Series) (2004)- A boyish romp of insider's LA, Entourage somehow amounts to more than the sum of its parts, remaining funny and fresh for at least the first few (short) seasons. Entourage is worth experiencing just to witness Piven in his standout role as Ari Gold.
30 Rock (TV Series) - Season 1 (2006)- A TV series which not only grew on me over the course of the first season, but at times had me in fits of uncontrollable laughter thanks to the hysterically unpredictable and dysfunctional interactions between cast members. Tracy Morgan at his funniest.
True Lies (1994)
A ridiculous wannabe–Bond action film that plays out like a collection of all–time most expensive set pieces. Cameron and Arnie prove that you need more than a big budget, exploding Harrier Jets, and rooftop horse–chase sequences to make a good film.
Knight and Day (2010)- An ultimately shallow and mainstream affair that still managed to elicit a few unwitting chuckles due to Cruises’ characteristic arrogant boyishness and Diaz’s blonde naivety.
Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)- This is Banksy through and through, from the dark sense of humour, to the sarcastic portrayal of critics and artists alike. One of this year's films you must see.
Rocky (1976)- The original Rocky hits hard with the honest tale of a simple man seeking more from life than he was dealt. Sly's own character shines through in his fight to make a name for himself in the industry, and in the end he deserves to have done so.

Rocky II (1979)
Rocky II capitalises on the still–fresh success of the first, with Sly still convincingly portraying life's underdog.
