I don’t know if you’ve seen the film, “King Of Kong” yet, but it’s a must for any classic gamer. I was never a fan of Donkey Kong, but I played many of these first generation games when I was a child. It’s something else to see how these games really became a different kind of addiction to a whole generation of kids how didn’t have computers, cell phones, ipods, and blu-ray dvds. Watching this documentary was like stepping back into 1982; however, it seems that many of those documented in this film have yet to join us in the here and now of 2008. I was surprised to see that a few are married with some very understanding wives, but many are seem to still be occupying their parents basements.

Here is some info. on Burn Notice:

Also, I was not a fan of Paul Giamatti until I saw his masterful performance here. All of the acting in this miniseries is of the highest caliber, and Laura Linney’s Abigail is absolutely amazing. She would have made a great president herself. Abigail that is.

The actor in John Adams, Paul Giamatti, does nothing for me. Never heard of Burn Notice.

Yes, but the LAZY man’s way to tell a story is through narration. If this show was well written, or well done, it would NOT need the crutch of a narrator telling me “I don’t feel anything, wah, wah!” I should be able to GET everything a character is thinking or feeling without needing the character to tell me how they feel/don’t feel.

Also, Harry could have used that serial killer guilt trip to get Dexter to do ANYTHING. “You know, cops like me look out for killers that don’t wash their father’s car once a week. If you don’t wash my car once a week, someone will totally know you are a psychopath.”

Nearly everyday in the news, we see and hear the nasty and gruesome details about the latest killer(s) and their victims. Then, there are always the interviews with the dumbstruck neighbors who can’t fathom how this pillar of society could have ever done such a thing. This show gives us a look into the mind and habits of their perfect neighbor, boyfriend, brother, and workmate before he/she has been unmasked. It begs the question, “Just how well do we know our neighbors, spouses, friends, and family members and should we be paying more attention to them and our surroundings?”

Right now I’m watching John Adams which is quite good, but vicious and brutal in its detailing’s of daily life during this time of rebellion against the British Empire. It is a seven part miniseries on HBO and The Tudors (season 2) is also back on Showtime. These are great for the history buff and lovers of great drama.

BTW, f you enjoy 24, I have Sleeper Cell: American Terror on DVD and can lend it to you. Also, two shows with on-going arcs that you might enjoy are Eureka and Burn Notice. Not as gritty as The Shield, but enjoyable on a different level nonetheless.
