This was a terrific adaptation of Melville’s classic, perfect for even the most twitchy movie watcher. Well-acted characters and an updated, engaging telling were key to its enjoyment.

When Casey Abrams slicked back his hair and started dancing on ‘American Idol,’ I instantly had an ‘SNL’ flashback.

Tracy and Liz’s Billy Joel fight was my favorite thing to happen on ’30 Rock’ in a long time.

Gloria sends an accidental email to Claire in my favorite scene from this week’s ‘Modern Family.’
