Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering (2008)
Scintillating Season opener .....
Guns Ammo and Gabrielle Anwar.Who could ask for more.and the pace is cracklin'. I still think they should get Richard Edson on the show at some point he could play such a great Miami Scumbag. I love that guy. This show just makes me want to be in Miami. Last time I was there there was a traffic jam. Someone had gotten out of a car to save a 4 foot alligator and chased him till he dove into Indian creek. Got to get back there to experience the Burn Notice ambiance. This show is what makes TVshows shooting in a given city so Vital. It's a seductive postcard for Miami. It is a burn notice city now. And so much more intelligent than Miami vice this show. Just wonder how many Feds are technical advisors and people from 'the company'. Oh well at least they're not out being black ops contractors for blackwater or if they are it's in their spare time.
Around June (2008)
Excellent...Thoughtful....Emotionally Intense Film
Around June shows the lesser Photographed but actually more arrestingly beautiful East Central face of the City of SF's Portrero Hill Area Amazing animation sequences interspersed throughout the film. The Wonderful Samaire Armstrong turns in a Bravura while Nuanced and Subtle Performance....
The four strong leads keep a taut dynamic humming Till the end.... The City and Samaire both have a Radiant Presence in this Film and the eccentricities of the finely drawn Characters evoke Empathy... My favorite sort of film characters... Characters sidelined from the mainstream by choice and/or circumstance.... That cry out an existential exclamation I Am!! In a howl of pain or triumph!
