Last night, I attended a screening of the new movie Serenity ^[1]. I have to agree with Wayan in DC ^[2] that you should wait for the DVD, but I will also say you should see the film. This film will be a cult classic in the near future even beyond the fans of the original tv show.

The film is based on Joss Whedon’s Firefly ^[3] tv series. I vaguely remember the show as I think my younger brother used to watch it. I hear true fans really enjoy the film, so that could be something to consider before the movie.

I have not seriously laughed so hard in my life in while. The film was so tongue-in-cheek bad, so full of cliches that you enjoyed the fun. I even caught myself saying “I’d rent this” and then thinking, no actually I’d probably own it for the easy access to laughs. There are some serious moments that seem a tad contrived. Overall, a rousing good time.

PS. I saw this film at a bloggers screening in Atlanta. In exchange for seeing the film, you are suppose to blog about it. (Good marketing tool) So anyone ever done this in Detroit, because I haven’t heard of this there yet….
