Serenity (2005)
Serenity is one of the best sci-fi movies I've seen... ever
This is probably one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Yes, I am a fan of the TV series on which the movie is based, but I don't think that matters. Serenity is dark, laugh-out-loud funny, and edge-of-your-seat intense. Sci-fi at it's best. I haven't been as moved by a movie... probably ever.
Parts of it were a bit rushed, it's true, and some of the characters aren't developed quite as well as they could be, but for all that, it's still amazing. The dialogue and the acting are just brilliant, and it tells a story that will stay with you for a long while after you leave the theatre. Definitely a film to see on the big screen.
Wilby Wonderful (2004)
I really enjoyed this film
I really liked Wilby Wonderful. The cast did an excellent job with their characters and the dark humor really got me. I'd seen several of the characters in other shows (notably Due South) where they played quite different characters, so it was fun to see the actors branching out.
The character development wasn't a stellar as it could have been, but it was fun. I was raging at the "mean" characters, and cheering for my favorites. Some might say that there was a lack of resolution at the end, but I definitely got the sense that things were going to work out eventually for all parties, which is fine for me. I like a movie that is more subtle about it's happy endings.
Wilby Wonderful is not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a great sit-around-with-friends-on-a-quiet-night-and-chill movie. I had fun watching it, and I would recommend it highly.
