We’re Going to Take Another Lap First
July 19th – July 25th
The Crazies — I was disappointed with this remake of the 1973 Romero flick. I’ve not seen the original, so that wasn’t my problem. And this one wasn’t terrible. It just wasn’t very good. There were some good moments. A couple of good set pieces. But the rest was just too convoluted and boring to make the whole all that worthwhile.
Mad Men (Season 3) — In anticipation of last night’s season four premiere, I went back and watched the entirety of the third season. This is a Great Show. Great actors behind interesting and imperfect characters. Great stories to move everything along. And, perhaps my favorite aspect of the show, a great world they inhabit–a NYC ad agency in the 1960′s. It informs not only the locations, set decoration, costumes, and music, but also the commentary on how much and/or little things have changed since that time period. It’s a world that I love getting lost within.
