Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

A rare and hidden gem...

[10/10 · 25 September 2009]

It is such a rare experience, when encountering an unknown movie, one you never heard about - and realizing you discovered a treasure. the only time I remember something like that happening to me, is when I first saw "Donny Darko". It is so delicate, original, cute, heart warming story, with such a sharp writing and excellent-excellent acting by such a great super-cast. Also - it is so difficult to find original writing these days, a truly unique plot where you can't figure out the end by the 7th minute...

To summarize, I really can't put my finger on what makes this movie such a great one, but i most sincerely recommend seeing it, and to be captured by its magic...

Scrubs (2001–2010)

So good, just so good...

I always thought that Scrubs is a great TV show, not only for the great acting and the funny scripts, but also for showing what working in a hospital is really like. Every doctor will say that "life is not like ER", and scrubs didn't take the whole heroic position and the action-drama scenes, that frankly, is much less common in hospitals than an old man with diarrhea, reflux, colitis or other not so very "photographic" diseases.

the first season was great, and the second season opening was AMAZING, but i felt that during the second season the show became a little "routinic". Season 3, not only bringing new excitement to the show, included some unforgettable moments. Chapter 14, "My Screw Up", is one of the finest moments in TV in the last couple of years. Chapter 16, dealing with "what ifs" was also terrificly done.

Taking you from a wild laughter, through a smile, a breath taking moment, empathy, sadness, and even tears (in that specific episode mentioned), Scrubs is one of the best shows running nowadays...
