Blah Blah Blah

Used a gift card and took the family to see the new Madagascar movie. The first one was enjoyed by all.

The new one was also pretty good. A few things "snuck" in to entertain the parents, but as my kids get older, these little things irritae me more. Kids are smart and not much will get past my 13 year old.

They expanded and played with the most entertaining characters from the first film. the penguins, the old lady and the lemurs.

If you have kids, go see it and odds are you will own it some day.

 

The UK has delivered another great TV series. Dead Set 
Although 5 episodes is hardly a series.
This a zombie movie broken into 5 episodes and stars many Big Brother "stars" from the UK.
It is a great zombie movie and well worth the watch. 

It is on par or better than some I have paid to see on the big screen. The effects are top rate, they don't pull any punches as far as the gore goes.

Here is a list of the TV shows I currently watch.

Bones

Survivor

Kitchen Nightmares

The Sarah Jane Adventures - Kids show from the UK

Heroes

Smallville

Supernatural

Grey's Anatomy

I knew it!!  The government and NASA have been hiding aliens from us the whole time.  I always said that the X-Files was just a way of releasing information to the public in a safe and controlled manner.  Just like the thing in Men In Black and the tabloid newspapers.  Dis-information can be a powerful tool, and what better place to hide the truth than right out in the open.

The Pickens Plan

A friend of mine turned me on to this guy.

Take a look and listen. Some very interesting things here.

America is in a hole and it's getting deeper every day. We import 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war.

I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network, we can break our addiction to foreign oil.

On January 20, 2009, a new President gets sworn in. If we're organized, we can convince Congress to make major changes towards cleaner, cheaper and domestic energy resources.

In my opinion, these two show are just outstanding and I won't even complain they have short summer seasons.

I first started watching The Closer after receiving an invitation to a Johnson family reunion.  It was a fantastic marketing ploy by the network to bring attention to the show. Three other people in my family got the same letter on the same day.  I wonder how many Johnson's started watching the show after getting it.  Kyra Sedgwick plays Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson on this crime drama. (hence the reunion) It is well scripted and produced.  The acting is top notch.

Saving Grace has a much harder edge.  Holly Hunter plays a police detective.  She drinks, swears, smokes, sleeps around and sees angel named Earl.  She has conversations with the angel when he shows up.  It is an outstanding show and is moving along nicely as it enters it's second season.  It seems Earl is pretty busy tying the lives of several of his earthly contact together.  It will be interesting to see how this all comes together.

• TV Junkie: Monday - "The Closer" and "Saving Grace" are Back

One of my favorite actors, Enrico Colantoni is back on TV in a new series, Flaspoint.  I missed since Veronica Mars went off of the air.

It isn't really covering any new ground as far as TV goes.  It is very hard to do that these days anyhow. I think it is a well put together show.  The acting and production value are both very good.  The stories are shaping up nicely.
