Breaking Bad Spoiler Officer Hank

Why is officer Hank taking to a cop...next week on Breaking Bad...
Or this week on Under the Dome.
..or previously on Lost


If you are looking for a decent new show, may I suggest Under The Dome.
In a typical Stephen King fashion, you never know how things will turn out. 
If you have ever watched Needful Things, The Stand or  the Langoliers...this show follows along that same supernatural vibe.

This is the End... Perhaps the only comedy worth watching right now

This is the End...
Is the only comedy I will recommend anyone watching at this time.
If you are looking for slapstick comedy or cheap laughs, you will have to steer away from this one.
If you like ridiculous a la Pineapple Express or Tropic Thunder than this is for you.
With all title characters playing themselves living in a world that is literally about to go through the Apocalypse.
James Franco plays host to all his real life Hollywood friends, and shi) is about to hit the fan. Survival of the fittest is the name of the game and Danny McBride is there to screw it all up. Although I do not find any of these actors insanely funny, together, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel (Montreal's very own) and James Franco do make this film hilarious at times.
Screenplay is by McGills graduate Evan Goldberg.
Cameos of the likes of Aziz Ansari, Micheal Cera...on heroin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Jason Segel, Back Street Boys and more.
7/10 for a comedy


Back on track....What to watch if you haven't done so already.


This summer has had many fandom-centric films, from Wolverine to RIPD to World War Z, Iron Man, Star Trek etc

Of the bunch, I surprisingly enjoyed The Wolverine the most, despite it steering away from some true elements of the story of our Canadian superhero.
From someone who read Wolverine comic books as a child, this particular story-line is important in telling the story of Logan...and this may be the one reason I gravitated more towards a like than a a dislike.
Violence level:acceptable, cinematography: visually good, script/dialogue:
average.
If you like Superhero films, you will enjoy this.
It is not quite Chris Nolan -Batman like...It fits more in the mold of the latest Man of Steel film.
6.5/10
