Last night was the 3 hour spectacular also known as the Golden Globe Awards. It is one of my favorites, next to the Academy Awards in February. I didn’t do as well as predicted in my nominations and winnings, but still it felt like a very great outcome. Kate Winslet came home with two Golden [...]

September Television Roundup
I got through quite a few season in September. Here are my thoughts. Dexter: Season 1What started off slow to me, finally picked up halfway through and finished big.

Angels in America
Wow! I’m not even sure what to say about this mini-series. Angels in America is a film about the beginning of AIDS in the 1980s when everyone thought it was a cancer and didn’t know how it spread. It spans only a small amount of time when the world begins to realize the seriousness of [...]

Weeds
I have found a new favorite. Weeds is an awesome show about a suburban mother whose husband dies and to support her family she sells pot (not to children, just so you know). It’s funny, serious, and everything in between. Too bad I don’t have Showtime, and don’t really want to pay for it, because [...]
