‘Better Call Saul’ Season 2 (2016) mulls moral costs
Hughes’ ‘Baby’s Day Out’ (1994) crazily mixes tones
Hughes Day Tuesday (Movie review): Granted, this movie is fundamentally ridiculous. But amid Hughes’ second decade of films, you could do a lot worse.
Preston, Spezi probe ‘Monster of Florence’ (2008)
Preston & Child flashback (Book review): Journalists aren’t supposed to become the story. But in this bizarre chronicle, you’ll see they can’t be blamed.
‘Mystery of the Blue Train’ (1928) stays on rails
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): OK, it’s not even Christie’s best work about a train. But count me as an apologist for this Poirot entry.
‘Superheroes Decoded’ (2017) a definitive documentary
Superhero Saturday (TV review): This is the definitive analysis of superheroes and how they bob and weave with American history.
Lecter gets worldly in Harris’ ‘Hannibal’ (1999)
Hannibal at 40 (Book review): Thomas Harris increases the scope from “Red Dragon” and “Lambs,” but again spins a great Lecter yarn.
‘Firefly: Watch How I Soar’ a flighty nod to Wash
Comic book review: I don’t know if we needed a second Wash tribute (after “Float Out”). Then again, I’m not gonna say no to a second Wash tribute.
‘Better Call Saul’ Season 1 (2015) introduces our favorite lawyer
Blogging ‘Saul’ (TV review): “Saul” Season 1 is the epitome of 2010s slow-burn serials, but in a good way. In fact: S’all good, man.
‘Dennis the Menace’ (1993) watchable, ‘Flubber’ (1997) awful
Hughes Day Tuesday (Movie reviews): These supposed family films are two exhibits in the case against the second decade of Hughes’ filmmaking career.
Preston takes on God in ‘Blasphemy’ (2008)
Preston & Child flashback (Book review): It’s not blasphemously bad. But if one were to rank Preston’s work, this would not be among his Good Books.
