The Batman series in celluloid has had more than its share of ups and downs, with four of the films; "Batman," "Bateman Returns," "Batman Begins," and "The Dark Knight" reasonably fine entertainment, and worthy of some notoriety amongst aficionados of the "caped crusader."

During "Yes Man," I recalled five occasions, or was it six, that registered fully on the "laughometer." A point of reference in what constitutes making the upper range of this device is: laughing to the point of tears gushing from my eyes and then my nose will register a two on that meter.

If North Carolina were a separate country, its economy would be one of the weakest in the developed world based on average employment rates, and its tax climate for economic growth would be nothing short of "horrendous."

Yes, I knew there were problems at the state level in the North Carolina Democrat Party, but then again, whom among us "should cast the first stone" ... and by that, I mean: Just look at way the leadership of the Republican party politicians in Raleigh comport themselves.

Middle-aged widower Walter Vale finds richness to his life by discovering that he matters, that others matter. Walter is a miserable man who admits, "I pretend at life. I pretend to work, but, in fact I haven't done any real work for some time."

Thank-you Ed Harris for bringing to the "silver screen," and my 40" Liquid Crystal Display, a subtle and beautifully filmed story of the old southwest that keeps the "Western" motif alive for future generations.

Admittedly, I knew nothing of the much loved series of graphic novels, "Watchmen." Whenever a film is done from a fictional depiction of humanity, or a science fictional depiction of a supposed humanity, many humans complain that the book was much better.

Some folks like their coffee blonde and sweet, but their comedy black. If you are one of that rare breed, you will probably get quite a few belly laughs from the directorial sophomore effort of Bobcat Goldthwaite: "World's Greatest Dad."
