Blogcritics Editors' Picks: November 29 through December 12 - Page 3

Robin Kavanaugh reviewed The New Adventures of Lois and Clark - The Complete Fourth Season on DVD, giving us a neat little trip back in time to a show I forgot I enjoyed so much. It totally slipped my mind that Howie Mandel played Mister Mxyzptlk!

TV and Film Guy is preaching to the choir as How I Met Your Mother is my favorite currently airing sitcom, but nonetheless his article Here's Another Show You Won't Watch, But Should is a good read. I just hope he didn't jinx the show. If he did, you know I'll give him some grief!

Blake Matthews took us for a tour through the DVD set Inside the Actor's Studio - Icons and made me wonder why I keep forgetting to watch such a fantastic show.

Connie Phillips reviewed a very interesting television movie which I missed in her article TV Movie Review: Wedding Wars. It's an intriguing premise for a movie and she even provided a video clip. Cool!

From Film Editor Lisa McKay:

John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus is not a film for everyone. Adam Blair saw it and found that it continued to resonate long after the viewing experience was over. Even if the film might not be your cup of tea, this piece will interest you.

Alan Dale saw Clint Eastwood’s WWII opus Flags Of Our Fathers and found the characters to be one-dimensional and the National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC to be more moving. Enough said?

Brothers of the Head is ostensibly a movie about conjoined twin rock stars. Ray Ellis uncovers the metaphors within in this incisive and intriguing review.

Inland Empire is David Lynch’s latest entry into the world of strange, and clydefro takes a look. The plot defies explanation, and this review does a good job of conjuring up some of the nightmarish uncertainty that is a hallmark of Lynch’s work.

I imagined Kati Irons to be wearing an eye patch and sporting a parrot on her shoulder while she was writing this review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, just released on DVD. This review is almost as entertaining as Capt. Jack Sparrow.

CULTURE

In Found in Translation, Atul Sabharwal writes about a brief encounter with a man whose language he doesn't share, but with whom he manages to communicate. It's a touching and evocative reminder of the joys of connection we make while being strangers in strange lands.
