With tonight’s premier of Camelot on Starz, I just wanted to point back to my review from the sneak preview a month ago.
The best parts of the show were Morgan, Lot and Merlin. Morgan is determined to get what she wants and won’t let anyone stand in her way.

But, on the other hand, I’m not sure Disney is doing a great job marketing Miyazaki and his films. So, let’s go visit Kiki.
. Not the ongoing storyline, which is usually fairly boring, but the explosions and the spy stuff and the fun. It’s one of my guilty pleasures in TV watching. Now, the man himself, Bruce Campbell, is getting a prequel, 
and 
) are almost national symbols in Japan. It is a simple tale of children, but the mood and the characters make the movie memorable and exciting. So, let’s go visit Totoro.

, is about an amazing kid from a family of gods. Card has written magic before in his Seventh Son series, but this is more of mythology based than that series. It is fairly reminiscent of Neil Gaiman’s
