Thoughts

This was a good one. The only problem I have with it is that I could see where things were going with the card game as soon as it began. I really like the last few scenes at the end of the episode, especially the scenes in which Janine interacts with Barbara and Gregory.

Thoughts

This is not a good ending to this 3-episode arc. It felt flat. I was surprised when Adam West showed up but even he couldn't do anything to make this episode better.

This episode did nothing in my eyes to live up to the title they gave it.

This is a documentary about the life and career of Preston Sturges, writer and director of Sullivan's Travels (1941) and The Lady Eve (1941).

There is very little of Sturges himself in the documentary, other than in stills, but there are interviews with a number of friends, family, and people who worked with him.

I found this to be interesting. It makes me want to see more of the movies he wrote and directed that I have not seen yet. I believe that I have only seen three of his movies, the two I mentioned above and Unfaithfully Yours (1948).

Thoughts

I had heard a lot of good things about this movie. I may have to revisit what I heard because this movie failed to impress me. I'm satisfied that I can say that I have seen this movie. I don't feel like I need to see the two sequels.

There are a lot of familiar faces in this movie: Willem Dafoe, Dean Winters, Adrienne Palicki, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Clarke Peters. Most of them do not get very much screen time.
