July 2011 Viewing
Super 8 – fun, loud, full of explosions and great acting from the kids; too many lens flares Bridesmaids – fun and funny, great cast Bleu – reminds one of why great films are great White Noise 2 – horrible, atrocious, terribly cynical, but Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff made it necessary to watch Withnail …

As Simple as a Breeze
