A Heart in Winter

The French are so exhausting to watch. Nothing is overt, all subtle facial tics and large swoony eyes.

The Kid

Is there anything more heartbreaking than Jackie Coogan pleading with the social workers not to take him away? Chaplin's own life story.

Enchanted

It's the songs (and Patrick Dempsey, natch) that make this film so enjoyable. Did you know the pigeons and rats are for real?

That Thing You Do!

Critics: spot on. Marketing department and, thus, viewers: missed the boat.

Battlestar Galactica: Razor

A pity this "special event" wasn't better thought out. Cain and Shaw are bad people, hands down, why should I care about them?

The Bear

Despite the unbearably (heh) cute little one, my first stop was Wikipedia to see how to repel an attack.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 3.0

Only one thing to say-- thank the gods season 4 is available as full episodes on scifi.com.

Aliens: Special Edition

Mostly extraneous scenes, but just for the opportunity to see more of the cool crap Cameron built, it's worth it.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Critics: too long and slow. Me: were we watching the same movie?

Paris Je T'aime

The short with the Spanish worker bee commuting to her job is still with me.
