Need more Jericho fixes even though the show is done? Check out Black Jack Fairgrounds, a “blog carnival” run by Amy Vernon of TV blog Remote Access. It’s kind of a roundup of online coverage — episode recaps and the like — of each episode of Jericho. The carnival for the series finale will post … more…
If I like a movie, I usually like seeing it again. Except when it comes to romantic comedies: I tend not to think they bear up to multiple viewings, even the few good ones. I may have to reconsider that stance, however, now that I’ve seen ‘Run, Fat Boy, Run’ twice.

Not much on the movie slate for me this week: I’m getting ready to leave for Paris on Thursday… which doesn’t mean there won’t be new stuff here for you to be reading while I’m gone. There will be, including, I hope, some movie-ish related Parisian blogging. Before I go, though, I’ll see Before the … more…
