Disjointed Digression

Serenity
I became a fan of Firefly a few months ago. So on Sunday I went to see Serenity. If you have never seen the show, you can go see the movie and enjoy it. In my opinion, you will enjoy it more if you have not seen the show. When you see the movie, you’ll laugh, you’ll hurl, you’ll cry. It’s a good movie. I think I went into it expecting a bit too much. Because the TV show had high production values and each episode was like watching a movie, the experience I got from seeing Serenity was that it was like a 2 hour episode of the show. That is not bad. I don’t want to spoil the movie, but I will say that there were a few things that I didn’t agree with and that made me upset. Other than those things, it was a good movie. I recommend it, even if you have not seen Firefly

The Warriors
On Monday night I watched this classic film. It might be a cult classic even. I’m not sure what classifies a movie as a cult classic. But I digress… The Warriors if you are unfamiliar with it, as I was, is the story of a New York gang called the Warriors and their trek from a botched truce meeting in the Bronx to Coney Island with all the other New York gangs out to get them. The movie came out in 1979, and even though it shows its age (there is a scene where some couples get on the subway looking like they just came from the Disco) it’s a good story and fine film. The Warriors doesn’t have a lot if any big names, the only person I recognized was the actor who played T-Bird in The Crow. It’s a movie that is action oriented. There is not much in the way of social commentary or anything like that. Knowing that was how the film was going to be, I enjoyed it. There are some good fight sequences. I recommend it as a rental.
