Do we really need a topic line?

I went to the movies on Saturday evening and saw Joann Sfar's Gainsbourg (vie héroïque) that the film maker describes as a tale based on his view on Gainsbourg rather than as a biopic. I shall review it but I'm too tired to do it now. Let's say that the first half, that focuses on the childhood, the 50's and the early 60's, is a real success, filled with intelligence and creativity, but the second half is underwhelming. The film then just looks like another biopic, even though Laetitia Casta is simply amazing as Brigitte Bardot.

Unfortunately the trailer mostly looks like the second half and doesn't do justice to the film. On the other hand it doesn't spoil the good surprise of the first hour:

I'm really exhausted. I wonder how I will make it until the 20th of February...

Fortunately there's good tv to watch. Of course Dollhouse finale didn't live up to Joss' usual originality and depth and to the brilliant episodes we got during season 2 (having said that, I am not ready to review it yet)but Caprica was great (daring, beautifuly crafted, brilliantly acted, and so refreshing it's something I have never seen before on tv)and Being Human is getting better and better. I wasn't as impressed by the 3rd episode as my flist was but the 4th was excellent, flirting with silly and even ridiculous stuff (the way BTVS used to even though BH has its own style) and yet remaining well written, tasteful and dark.
