A very good "Community" this week. Worked for me a lot more than "Remedial Chaos Theory."
Another phenomenal season. This is the best show I've ever had the privilege of reviewing weekly.
Very strong political story. It feels wrong to call it a "thriller," though I know it's being advertised as such. But there are no car chases or men with black hats. It's just a bunch of guys fighting for power.
Pretty bad. The AMC Studio 30 on Dunvale had typically crappy presentation, too, with the image spreading well past the top and sides of the screen. I complained twice to no avail. The manager gave me a free pass, but I won't be using it because I only go to that theater when required to do so for screenings. I didn't like sitting through a movie I couldn't see that well, but I took comfort in the fact that the movie was so bad that I (sadly) wasn't missing much.

Great table-setter with some awesome suspense. It's been a predictably strong season. Looking forward to the finale.
