video review : Flawless

video review : Flawless

The news woman is gorgeous, but Laura’s old lady makeup is unconvincing. Those tacky beginning and ending bits should’ve been chipped off. Not that the movie would be Flawless without them; it’s barely good; but it would be better.

The plot spins with feminist undertones around a London Diamond heist, the planning and execution of which provides just enough suspense to keep you interested even as you roll your eyes at the imprudent of the protagonists.

video review : Aerial America : Florida

video review : Aerial America : Florida

This Smithsonian Channel documentary, an episode of Aerial America, is all about Florida; my favorite state. It overlooks some notable cities in favor of hot spots like Miami, but it’s an interesting watch all the while.

It’s also somewhat educational as narrator Jim Conrad gives a history lesson on everything from important events like the 1565 settlement of Saint Augustine to trivial newsbits like the killing of Gianni Versace.
