Last night I went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the new comedy making all sorts of money. It's a great movie, very funny. In fact, I'd call it the funniest comedy I've seen since Undercover Brother, and you all know how much I liked that movie!
The characters are all very real and fleshed out, the plot is not cliched (though it all happens rather easy), and the writing and observations are very witty.
Rumor has it that a sequel is in the works (My Big Fat Greek Honeymoon) as well as a TV series (My Big Fat Greek Family). Too much of a good thing maybe... |

Friday night was the premier of Joss Whedon's new show, Firefly. The premise is interesting sci-fi, basically a show set in the future with spaceships and the like, but there are no aliens at all, only humans recovering from a major civil war where a federation of sorts forced all planets under a single rule. Kind of an anti-Star Trek.
As for the style of the show itself, calling it a space western would be very apt. From the clothing to the weapons and even the music, it's very old-west style in contrast with the clean militaristic government.
The writing is very sharp, the premise somewhat unique, and I usually have a measure of faith in Joss (creator of Buffy and Angel) so we shall see! |
