Sunday Night

Tonight was a good night for television.  On A&E, we had the THE GLADES (http://www.aetv.com/the-glades/) and LONGMIRE (http://www.aetv.com/longmire/).  I am enjoying the new show, LONGMIRE.  My father has read the book by Craig Johnson, which there are five of (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Johnson_(author)).  The GLADES has continued where it left off last season, and is still good.

Also watched the season premiere of TRUE BLOOD (http://www.hbo.com/true-blood/index.html).  Based on what happened on tonights episode alone, it should be an action-packed season.  Definitely looking forward to seeing Chris Meloni on this as a member of the Authority.

Finished the evening with EXTREME MAKEOVER:  WEIGHT LOSS EDITION (http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/extreme-makeover-weight-loss-edition).  Chris Powell helps people who are morbidly obese.  Tonights episode followed a lady from Florida named Jacqui, who initially weighed 355 pounds.  She hit each of her quarter of a year goals, and ultimately lost 207 pounds in one year, a whopping 61% of her original body weight.  Truly inspiring.

TV

Now is the time when a lot of the summer shows begin.  This week TNT started back up with RIZZOLI AND ISLES (Season 3) as FRANKLIN AND BASH (Season2).  I enjoy both these shows and the characters go well together.

I am looking forward to the season premiere of BURN NOTICE (Season 6) this coming Thursday.

I have also been catching up on older shows.  In the past two weeks, I have watched the fifth season of DEXTER. (Season 6 has already been purchased on Amazon, and will be arriving in August)  I liked it, but still think that season 4 was the best.  Tough to top John Lithgow.

Also finished Season 3 and 4 of CALIFORNICATION (Season 5 has been purchased as well, and will be arriving soon).  It is still funny, but is beginning to level off.  Luckily they have been choosing many beautiful women to be his love interests to keep at least the guys intrigued.  RUNKLE, in all of his disfunction, is still my favorite character...

I also have begun to use the streaming function on Netflix, and have started to watch LUTHER.  Only three episodes in, but I am enjoying it so far.

Just got a new video camera.

Weekend movies - 6/10/12

Well, I have decided to write again.  Saw two good movies this weekend.  The first was PROMETHEUS (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/prometheus/) directed by Ridley Scott.  I am glad he has made a return to science fiction.  This movie is set in the same universe as the ALIEN movies, but he has said that this is not a prequel.

********SPOILER********. Watch the last five minutes of the movie and make your own assumptions.  I am calling it a prequel...

The other movie was PEACE, LOVE, AND MISUNDERSTANDING (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/peacelovemisunderstanding/).  This was a good family drama.  Jane Fonda was amazing in this.  Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Olson were equally as good and playing the next two generations of women in that family.  Had good acting, good writing, and a good message.  Highly recommmend.
