Freaks and Geeks Rewind
My favorite thing to do this summer is to read Alan Sepinwall's blog, What's Alan Watching. He's the TV Critic for the New Jersey Star Ledger.
This summer, he decided to revisit one of the greatest high school shows ever, Freaks and Geeks and review every episode. He just posted the last episode recap today.
You can read them all here.

Movie of the Week: Superbad
Just imagine if girls weren't weirded out by our boners and stuff, and just like wanted to see them. That's the world I one day want to live in.Apatow Productions owns this summer

At such a young age, Michael Cera is already a comedy genius. No one does uncomfortable conversation better than him. Check out his online show, Clark and Michael. Mark my words, he will be in a Woody Allen movie playing the Woody Allen-ish character before he dies.
Anyway, the movie was hilarious. I knew Jonah Hill was funny ever since he carried the first 30 minutes of Accepted.
This movie will be quoted for years.
I still can't decide which I liked better: this or Knocked Up.
Strangely enough, I can see women not finding it as funny or not liking it at all.
What a great summer for comedy.

Movie of the Week: Stardust
It was a cute, Hollywood version of a book I love.
They changed ALOT of the story. I knew there would have to be changes because as much as I love Gaiman and Vess' tale, it would never work as a straight adaptation. The story took its sweet time to bring everything together (and I mean that as a compliment) and the ending lacked the drama needed for a movie.
The changes they made didn't bother me so much but - without spoiling anything - there were some aspects I wish they could have kept, especially in regard to the growing bond between Tristan and Yvaine. I also prefer the book's ending to the movie but I was okay with the way the "Hollywood" ending.
I would have probably given the movie another
if I had never read the book. But isn't that always the case?
