Welcome to the whingings of an angry young man...

Maybe I've got too much free time on my hands. Maybe it's lead me to become more cynical about life and the oversaturated state of the world of media, filled with atrocious films, awfully created videogames and moaning music about some douchebag's first world problems. I dunno. But over the past few months, I have seen some terribly produced content and I need a place to vent over it. Welcome to the blogs of Angry Nouge.

It's not all doom and gloom however, there are things which bring a smile to my face which I would like to share with you and for this reason, I have created a system to give a final judgement on the piece in question. A unique and original system which is the only possible way to judge the value of anything in this world...


The scampi system.
1 nugget isn't worth wasting your time for.
2 meh.
3 is okay but you want to keep an eye out for...
4 which you should check out. Or even better
5 which is a MUST.

So there you have it. Some nuggets of minced fish will give you a reason or not on whether a film, TV series or whatever I'm rambling about is worth your time. But these days everyone's a critic, why should I be different? Who the hell am I and why should you trust my opinion? Unfortunately, here is my self-promotion to explain.

I am a filmmaker. I've worked on films, media and design over the past 10 years or so. I earned a first-class degree in Film Production & Technology last year and was also awarded a Creative Video Prize for outstanding acheivement on my course (which I received a £600 camera for, not bad eh). I incorporated my own video production company earlier this year which has been nominated for an award and has had work broadcast on TV. We also had a short film which was screened at the BFI Imax in London last year. I turned 23 last week and within the next year or so, I'm hoping to have a comfortable place in the world of TV and film.

So yeah, I'm doing alright and I would like to think that I have an idea on how films SHOULD work. With nearly 2,000 subscribers to my video content on Youtube (youtube.com/nouge) which contains reviews and play throughs on recent Resident Evil titles, I also like to think that I'm technically minded on videogames. So for those reasons and more which I could brag about, I hope you take my ramblings into consideration. But as I said, these days everyone's a critic so it's very possible that you won't agree with everything posted here, and that's totally fine. The purpose is simply for you to see what I'm thinking (apart from when it's Zooey Deschanel otherwise this blog would would just be a pinboard of pretty *cough slutty* pictures)...
