1. 4400: TV series , drama , fantasy/ scifi
premise:4400 people have disappeared over 60 years and then all reappear in one go from the giant ball of light (^ in case you didnt guess) without having aged or remembering what happened.They also have super powers.
I had just finished Jericho and I wanted another TV series. I admit i was skeptical on this premise but the first episode won me over , they didnt just deal with the whole government reaction locking them up but also with the characters themselves and how returning to a totally changed world would truely be like. It manages to keep a complicated and fast paced plot grounded and I really think its worth looking if you like something outside the usual series. I warn you though ,has an even more frustrating ending then Jericho
2.The Princess Bride: fantasy , comedy , love
premise: styled as if a fairy tale tells the story of two lovely (and very blond)characters, wesley and buttercup, torn apart by circumstance and their fight to get back to each other which includes giant rats a french giant and a man with six fingers.
I saw this when I was quite young and it remains one of the funniest films I have ever seen its really well paced comedy and is just crazily famous. I think it does a great job at creating characters without getting weighed down in comedy or with plot just a really well done film.
3.Youth in Revolt: comedy, coming of age .
Premise: Michael Cera (playing Michael Cera) falls for a girl while on holiday and creates an alternate persona to become cool enough for her and to cause enough trouble to go live near her.
I have to admit im not Michael Ceras biggest fan , I keep thinking he can do more and its starting to seem that is never going to happen. However I like the style of comedy he fits into and if you like those you will enjoy this same awkward honest speech and slightly off beat comedy.Its a little cruder then his other work but still funny and the supporting cast is really very good.
