Entertain Yourself

It's been a while since I've written about what I'm watching movie and television wise. I think it's about time I start that again.

Psych season 3 - The more I watch this show, the more I love it. Shawn is such a moron but in a loveable, hilarious way. I love all the characters. I still can't figure out how I've missed it on tv.

Game of Thrones season 1 - I'm torn about this one. The show did help me become more interested in the characters' fates than I was when I read the book. But I could do without all the sexposition. Call me a prude if you want but I don't read sex scenes in books and I don't watch sex scenes in movies, I fast-forward through them. But I can't do that with this show because there's a lot of important information that comes out during the sex scenes.

Iron Man - With the exception of Batman, I've never really been a huge superhero person.  They just have never really appealed to me. So I added this to my queue mostly because it has Robert Downey Jr. in it and I like him.  I ended up really liking the movie. He's not Batman, but Iron Man is kinda cool.

Bend It Like Beckham - I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to watch this. It's pretty good. And even though I can't stand soccer, I liked it. And the guy that plays Joey is hot.

Naughty or Nice - Caught this on the Hallmark Channel. Super cute. It's got the girl that plays Sara on White Collar, which is what drew my attention.

The Wishing Tree - Also from Hallmark. Not as cute as Naughty or Nice but worth the two hours if you've got nothing to watch.

Matchmaking Santa - Another really cute movie from Hallmark. I really liked it all the way till the end. And then I felt like that wasn't the place to end it at all. I would have liked to see Melanie and Dean a few months later, or even the next Christmas.

And now for the current television season...

Bones - Sweets living with Booth and Brennan is freaking hilarious. But I hate that Cam is having an affair with Arastoo. I'm anti-workplace romances in real life and very rarely do I find them interesting on tv. I don't like the Cam/Arastoo pairing at all.

Hawaii Five-O - I want to be Kono when I grow up. She's awesome. But I can't stand McGarrett's mother and that whole story line. She's killing that show for me.

Malibu Country - The absolute best parts are Jai Rodriguez and Lily Tomlin. Reba, Sara Rue and the kids are funny too, but Jai and Lily are the the gems of this show.

  1. Bend It Like Beckham - my wife is addicted to this. If it is on, she will step on cats and knock down the elderly to get to a seat front-center TV.

    Hawaii Five-O - I watched the original series allot as a youth, not really enjoying this reinvention. Although the huge-dude that runs the shrimp truck, he cracks me up.

    1. Haha. I really liked Bend it Like Beckham but I don't know that I'd knock down the elderly and step on animals to watch it.

      Too young for the original Hawaii Five-O so there's no comparison I can make. But I love Kamekona too. He's a great part of the show. Which they're ruining with the Steve's mom story line.
