Movie Mondays!

It starts with a simple phrase from a computer game: “The terrible troll raises his sword.” After that, Chuck Bartowski’s life will never be the same again. I LOVE CHUCK! One of the few, great new shows on NBC of the last few years. The casting is perfect with Zachary Levi in the lead role as the underachieving Stamford dropout idling away his days working as a member of the “Nerd Herd” (the perfect capture of retail hell in a long time). Suddenly he is thrown into a world of spies and espionage with minders Adam Baldwin (in a role written specifically for him) and Yvonne Strahovski (destined for stardom) there to keep him safe. There’s a wonderful balance of comedy, action and romance here making the show true family entertainment. Plus to top it all off it’s got great music (as evidenced by the choice of a CAKE tune for the show’s opening theme). Lots of fun!

I’m repurposing content by taking my NetFlix reviews and posting them here on the blog. If I could figure out a way to do it, I’d post some kind of link for people to connect and make me their friend on the service. Unfortunately, it isn’t altogether clear how one would do that - so if you know a way, pass it along. In the meantime, I’ve got steady content for at least a year.
