April 14 movie: Serenity. Dang, Joss Whedon gives good commentary. He maybe spends a little too much time talking about what lens he used in this or that scene. But he does a really good job of avoiding the two main types of bad commentary: 1. praising every actor without every saying anything substantive: "He's a great guy, she's beautiful, he's so funny, etc"; 2. describing the scene as if they were doing closed captioning rather than commentary: "now he's going into the room, he's about to confront his mother, they're arguing about the job, etc."
