Mad Men

starring: Candice Cunningham, Emelle, Kiernan Shipka, January Jones
directed by: Alan Taylor

I'm not hugely fond of giving five star reviews - reviewers on user-content-driven sites like this site tend to over-apply it for (frankly) mediocre content, thus diluting its meaning: if the majority of items reviewed are five star-rated, what about the really good stuff, 6 stars perhaps? Top ratings should only be applied to outstanding work; conversely, only the utterly abominable should receive the very lowest scores. With all that in mind, I believe the AMC series "Mad Men" to be one of the truly exceptional - a textbook example of how to achieve excellence through quality writing, without recourse to overly-spectacular special effects, excessive violence or gimmicky high-concepts (take note, makers of Heroes).

Lip Service [2000] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Gail O'Grady, Peter Outerbridge, Stewart Bick, Harvey Atkin, Jerry Ciccoritti
directed by: Graeme Campbell

So many people put this film down because it's not spectacular. But it's absolutely great when you just want to wind down, or just watch a light humourous film. The film doesn't try to be clever, it's made well and has the perfect sentiment.

Definitely worth the watch and to keep.
