Just when I get severely disappointed with this show, it pulls out a series ending like that one.

Bill Cunningham New York
Verve, charisma, adorability, history, and above all, fashion. What more could you want from a New Yawk documentary?

Tess of the D'Urbervilles
More tramping through wet fields than necessary, but a serviceable portrayal of a deeply disturbing novel.

30 Minutes or Less
I liked the Datsun joke until I saw the Datsun. (A 280Z is spanky. We had a clunky little 510.)

Slums of Beverly Hills
It was worth it just to see a menstrual belt again. (Man, that hearkens back.)

Longford
It's good to know there are some truly kind people in this world.

Submarine
I can't believe British parents are really that stolid. That's part of the joke, right?

Four Lions
Humor really is the best of antidotes to the sad state of our world.

And that, boys and girls, is why superheroes like to live in anonymity.

The Grey
Just in case I'm ever stuck in Alaska, I hope that this movie had some real science behind it.
The Whistleblower
I wasn't able to watch this with subtitles, and it really made no difference whatsoever.

The Guard
Och, who cares how predictable it is. It's the Irish Fargo.

The Rum Diary
Ribisi does what no other actor does: create brilliantly insane characters that are only that way because he's acting his ass off.

The Muppets
While it's a clever attempt to cash in on all the nostalgia films, it's sweet enough not to matter.

Contraband
Is it the illicit nature of what we watch that we enjoy (vicarious) or is it stars being predictably entertaining that we enjoy (routine)?
Mr. Brooks
Really? A serial killer randomly meeting another serial killer?
Edge of Darkness
Mr. Gibson, who cannot be discounted due to his action chops, is not well serviced by the script here.
