Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events — 10 Years Later (Silberling, 2004)
If the upcoming Netflix series fails to do justice to the books, it will be sadly missed opportunity, but we'll still have this film which is a worthwhile version of a children's story about encountering tragedy which elucidates the nature of evil. (Elucidate is a big word meaning "to make clear.")

Gotham Episode 1.9 Recap: Harvey Dent
The last two episodes have been my favorites, and in general I have warmed slightly to the show after a rocky first half-dozen episodes or so.
-
Design is One (Brew and Guerra, 2012)
Lella and Massimo Vignelli are two of the proverbial artists whose work you've no doubt seen even if you've never heard their names.

Strange Rumblings in Shangri La (Guglielmino, 2014)
The film, shot on 16mm, has a coloring that surpasses anything I have had the pleasure of watching in the last several months. In addition to the storytelling or the framing, the pure, saturated colors were a treat for the eye.
-
DamNation (Knight and Rummel, 2014)
At first the film looks like it might turn into a standard taking sides/issue film, with proponents of dams touting the wonders of hydroelectric power and critics lamenting their effect on wildlife.

Gotham Episode 1.8 Recap: The Mask
Barbara...Barbara...Barbara. I'm not sure any other character has come off worse throughout this show's first season than Barbara Kean.
-
Laggies (Shelton, 2014)
Fresh on the heels of Begin Again, Knightley's turn here solidifies her status as my favorite A-list actress.
-
Interstellar (Nolan, 2014)
A full plot synopsis of Interstellar would probably exhaust my thesaurus' stock of synonyms for "inexplicable."

Gotham Episode 1.7 Recap: Penguin’s Umbrella
The body count is rising pretty quickly in Gotham--violence is the lazy writer's shorthand--and it is a little disturbing and disappointing how inured we are supposed to be to it.
