  1. I kinda feel horrible that I was never able to get into Sarah Jane Adventures. I watched part of the first series but it just didn’t do it for me.

  2. This week re-brings a lot of great films, though not in Bureau genres: American Graffiti and Fast Times at Ridgemont High both destroy the limited expectations of the teen genres– AG was Hollywood-changing. (Breakfast Club meets expectations well, without becoming gross).

    The Treasure of Sierra Madre, A Beautiful Mind, Seabiscuit, Apollo 13, Schindler’s List……….

    The Green Mile has a strong SF element, and should be reviewed some Saturday. Do the Right Thing I find worthwhile, in a time-capsule kind of way.

    But none are out for the first time.

    What can anyone tell me about Boardwalk Empire?
