Let's have a shortened Three Things this week, because I churned out a large post on Thursday night. So, without further ado: 1. Masters of the Air: I was a big fan of Band of Brothers and The Pacific, so when you get that team back together to tell a story about the bomber pilots of WWII, it's a can't miss scenario. Riveting television. Brilliant aerial scenes. Great attention to detail. Plus, that Austin Butler kid is a helluva actor. I liked him in Elvis, and I like him in this. Dude has a bright future if he stays grounded and humble. 2. Secret Menu - "Irish Goodbye": Saw a post about this local Madison-based band the other day. They shot a video for their song "Irish Goodbye" on the frozen ice of Lake Monona. Really cool video. Really solid song. I hope these guys have a good career. 3. "The Beekeeper": Watched this movie the other day. It was a standard Jason Statham offering, but the script had some seriously unforgivable sins of bad screenwriting. The movie itself is watchable. The action sequences aren't going to blow your mind. In the annals of action films, it's pretty low on the bar, but I'd recommend you watch it for the incessant references and puns to bees, hornets, and wasps. The screenwriters busted out every bee-related pun in the book for this one. Until next week! |
