Saw the new "Serenity" movie last night (opening day) and just loved it! Joss Whedon expands the "Firefly" universe and characters greatly in the span of a two hour movie. The movie has it all: action, humor, suspense, sadness, hope, --- it's a roller-coaster ride of scenes and emotional images. Fans of the 14 episode TV series will love this movie greatly. Even those not familiar with the "Verse" of Firefly will enjoy this high energy Sci-Fi romp. The movie also has a very well drawn bad guy that isn't your typical cardboard villain. Take anyone you know that likes adventure and fighting for a worthy cause to see this movie. You won't be disappointed. :)

This movie was terrific. From start to finish it keeps you involved in the ever shifting and deepening plot. Daniel Craig is terrific and from this I can see why he might just be the next next James Bond. He has that same cool under pressure. Plus he just looks like a secret agent, even if he doesn't play that type of role here. The supporting cast was great as well. Keep in mind this movie requires you to pay attention and follow all the moving parts and players. It keeps you guessing from the start to the end. Any fan of detailed plots with bad guys trying to "do the right thing" will enjoy this film a lot. The scenery was fun to see as well. You never know exactly where it's all taking place. It has a nice European flair to it. And the music is a mix of various songs that really suit the mood of the scenes. Now I have to go watch it again and pick up the little things I missed the first time.

As others, I saw this movie quite some time ago. I do still have a copy on video but would love to see it on DVD again. It's basically the story of boy meets girl with a computer that gets in the way. Keep in mind there really were not PC's back when this was made. So the computer Miles gets is pretty crude by today's standards. But that doesn't stop it from having a personality all it's own. The voice of the computer is very well done. The two lead actors are great as well. They seem to really have wonderful chemistry together. Virginia Madsen just glows in this movie and shows she was due for the stardom she has now achieved. Von Dolen is also good and I wish I could see him in more projects. I highly recommend this film to anyone that likes a nice sweet romantic movie!
