Reviewing Movies

Funny what you can get into when faced with a couple days of poor weather and no crying need to go outside. Gave up on the Series Heroes after Season 2 because at the time I lacked the concentration to follow the plot intricacies. Decided to give Season 3 a try and now I'll probably pick up # 4 and last when the price is right. The storyline involves a large number of people who have differing special abilities who for most of the series are largely not connected. When you have people who can stop time, teleport in time and space and a storyline that jumps from the past to the future to the present it takes a great deal of concentration to keep track of what's going on. Especially with a pair who speak only Japanese. Perhaps sitting down and watching the 6 disks in a short period of time helped. By Season 3 the plot revolves around several agencies hunting down these Heroes because they are misunderstood and perceived as a threat to national security. Some truly are dangerous but in the main it's a matter of persecuting that which we fail to understand. This is not a show to amuse the casual watcher. It takes a great deal of concentration and effort to follow what is going on. Underlying the action and violence are serious moral issues of right and wrong, abuse of power, and civil rights.

I was amused to see Justin Baldoni show up in a couple episodes. Last saw him in Everwood as Amy's secret crush who turned out to be gay. If you're going to hire some beefcake you needs must find an excuse to expose the goods and what better means than a shower scene. Good to see he still hits the gym regularly.
