Drew McWeeny who used to be known as Moriarity over at Aint It Cool has been writing for Hitfix the past several years. Recently he did a story where he showed his sons the Star Wars films for the first time. They watched all six but in a rather interesting order. Here is the series:http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-we-kick-off-a-special-series-with-a-first-viewing-of-star-warshttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-we-finally-reach-the-moment-with-empire-strikes-back-on-blu-rayhttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-we-flashback-to-the-phantom-menace-as-the-star-wars-series-continueshttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-yoda-seals-the-deal-for-attack-of-the-clones-on-blu-rayhttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-revenge-of-the-sith-devastates-the-kids-as-anakin-falls-from-gracehttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/film-nerd-2-0-the-heros-journey-ends-with-return-of-the-jedi-and-many-many-shared-tears
This weeks episode was pretty good. It was weird seeing Eric Stonestreet who plays Cameron on Modern Family in a complete 180 role. And the beginning at the school library was very unsettling.

I'm not a fan of the current country music scene. Give me some Cash, Twitty, George Jones et al. But country music just crushes other genres with their female singers.
So who's watching. I watched a marathon last week of the first five or six episodes can't remember. I'm not sure if I exactly like the show or if it's even good, but I couldn't stop watching. There's definitely nothing like it on the air right now.
If we're talking from an acting/writing/directing/editing/cinematography standpoint I would give the nod to Goodfellas.If we're talking about a film that brings be enjoyment every time I see it and it's also a great picture then I'd go with The Empire Strikes Back.
