Peter's Friends
Not The Big Chill. Not by a long shot.

Friday Night Lights: Season 2
Boo on all those who haven't tried this series yet. Middle America at its finest.

Quantum of Solace
What gives with those opening titles? Guess we're back to the old Bond.

Night of the Living Dead
Romero makes you care about the characters and then takes it all away from you. Result: first heartbreaking horror film.

Wanted
Slick, slick, slick. Bullets as swords, a nice riff on Matrix styling.

MI-5: Season 2
Could the last two episodes be more out of character? We get it, Macfayden wants to move on.

Changeling
The critics are wrong. A detached narrative means viewing many amoral types and deciding for yourself which you dislike more.

Lars and the Real Girl
Too precious for me. Does it really make sense for a community to seriously accept a plastic doll as a real girl?

Night on Earth
A favorite, and finally on Criterion. My favorite vignette: Paris. Yes, it trumps Rome.

North & South
The usual boy-meets-girl-loses-girl-gets-girl-back plot, but why a story that is so similar to Pride & Prejudice? (Although, the industry vs. union plot is quite educational.)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 5
Spike better be in every episode in Season 6. No one else better suited to patrol while Buffy is, um, away.
