Attack the Block

Ninety percent on Rotten Tomatoes and the whole Aint It Cool news writing team singing its praises. Critics went crazy for it, and I’m late watching it!! The hype for Attack the Block came my way during summer 2011, I just had so much going on I didn’t have the opportunity to get out and see it. But I watched it at home and consciously saved it for a ‘special time’ as I do with many movies. I wish I didn’t have the stupid habit of putting off watching some films because ‘the time isn’t right’, time of day, day of the week kind of thing. Attack the block was my final film of the holiday break 2011 into 2012, the night before going back to work. I watched an episode of The Walking Dead with my wife while intermittently having to get up to put my 2 year old back in to bed, as he is at the age where he refuses to go to bed in any sort of calm manner. But eventually 10pm came around, and it was me and the TV and the big choice to send off an 11 day Christmas break, I chose Attack the Block.
