Prepare for the farewell

·

With only about three weeks remaining in the current television season, most shows are going all-out to get your attention. But as I think about it more, you’re probably at a point where you’re watching shows or you aren’t.

All the president's journalists

·

“State of Play” doesn’t try to be purely journalistic, given that we don’t know the outcome as we did in “All the President’s Men.” But the film puts so much effort and detail not into the outcome itself, but how it got there.


Pure action and violence

·

So when you watch a movie like “Crank: High Voltage” and think about how well it performs compared to other action comedies that have become so popular recently – I’m thinking the original “Crank,” 2007’s “Shoot ‘Em Up” and Sam Raimi’s cult classic “Army of Darkness” – it’s apparent that this one is among the best.
