  1. ‘General Spanky’ sounds like something a very different site than this one should be reviewing!

  2. Not a great week for viewers of the SF/Fantasy/Horror genres, but the 1992 Of Mice and Men is the definitive adaptation, Inside Llewyn Davis deserves at last one view, and Gilda— I have no idea, but it’s supposed to be a classic. I mostly enjoyed the novel/graphic novel that is Diary of a Teenage Girl and plan to see the movie, even if it played few theatres and made it to video in record time. Either they didn’t do a great job, or the problematic nature of the story meant the studio couldn’t get behind it. The book has a cult following; perhaps the film will as well.

  3. Continuum is good but lost some direction in this last (short, 6 episode) season. I wouldn’t buy it, as it will undoubtedly be available on Netflix for streaming.
