Matchup of the Day
Double your pleasure, double your fun – with Terrence Malick :
The Tree of Life vs. Days of Heaven
There may be two major groups of people when it comes to Terrence Malick: Those who like Badlands, and maybe even Days of Heaven - OR - Those who believe his later films to be profoundly poetic experiences. Sure, there are individuals who fit into both groups, but 1998′s The Thin Red Line definitely created a rift for many. I’ve seen all of Malick’s filmography except for The New World, the experience of which has entrenched me militantly in the first group. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s the only thing worth watching that comes out on Netflix Instant this week, but I can’t complain too much. Bob’s Burgers took a little bit of time to find its footing, but ever since, it has quickly become one of my favorite shows. The voice cast is unbeatable, making great use out of the amazing H. Jon Benjamin and strong stand-up comedians like Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal and the Silverman sisters. The jokes are fast, surprising and very funny (they also serve the storyline for the most part, unlike some other FOX Sunday cartoons…). Highly recommended. Read the rest of this entry »
