Incredible show, enjoyed every minute of it. Rufus Sewell, Caterina Murino, and all the rest of the cast all did such a wonderful job, and it’s sad that it only lasted three episodes.  At 90 minutes each, there’s still a reasonable amount of time to spend with the characters and the story. I also will eventually get to the series of books on which the show was based.

Southland is some legitimately great television.  As another show following police it’s a hard sell up front, though it’s shot and told in a significantly different way than many other shows.  It’s fact-based fiction told in a slick yet reality-TV-like style, with a lot of fast cuts and character development.  I’ve only seen the first season at this point, but I’m already hooked and am looking forward to more.

Wow!  I thought this movie was pretty damned great.  It apparently was 89 minutes long, though it zipped by quite quickly.  John Goodman was excellent, and the writing was superb.  There were many points where I thought I could expect what was happening next, only to be proven severely wrong.  Kevin Smith, the director, deserves a lot of credit, and I encourage everyone with some time to check it out.

Good movie!  The visuals and audio were incredibly slick.  Most of the movie is very stark, white, and cold, very beautifully done.  The Chemical Brothers also created the soundtrack, which I felt was top notch.  The pacing was different from many films, so I can see where people wouldn’t quite hold onto it too quickly.  Check it out, it’s certainly worth a watch!

Wow. This was a great movie. It was definitely a bit upsetting, but the story was told in such a great and new way.  The cinematography is also elegant and thoughtfully done, peaking in a single take that careens all around a packed soccer stadium.  The story is about a rape and murder of a woman, though telling anything more than that would likely give more away than I’d like.  It’s well worth seeing, and make sure to save it for when you have the time and attention.
