Back in May I posted a list of the movies I wanted to see this year. So far I’ve seen 7 out of the 10 I was shooting for, plus caught up on 2 that I had missed once they came out on DVD. Not too bad. I’m pretty sure I’ve reviewed them all on here after seeing them. There are a few on that list that haven’t come out yet, and there are some . . . → Read More: 2011 Movies – The Final Push In my last post I asked for some help coming up with films for my annual New Years Eve triple feature. I got some great responses (though very few actually on the blog, which I find kind of funny). There was jockying and substitution all the way to the moment I paid the rental fee, but we ended up with the following list: District 9 Knight and Day Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of . . . → Read More: Review: New Years Eve triple feature I managed to see a limited release of ABC’s new show “No Ordinary Family” online yesterday.

Sadly, that’s not saying much, since I only read individual unconnected issues at a time – I never really read a full storyline until a year or so ago, save for one or two “special occasions.” Now, though, I’m borrowing stuff from a few friends’ collections, and I’m loving it.

It was, if anything, understated and simple in its execution. Despite the drama of a crumbling marriage, oppression, depression, and death, there were no histrionics, no yelling, no overwrought grief – these things were just facts of life to be dealt with. This was a movie where the actors checked their egos at the door and let the story be the star. And I think that . . . → Read More: Review: Finding Neverland |
