What To See???

It's a problem when it's time to go to the movies and there's nothing that strikes your fancy. I like to choose something that I have some faith and interest in, seeing as I'm not exactly bathing in money (hello, empty wallet!). As of now, the most appealing movie is Scream 4 (because it sounds like fun and it's horror), and Hobo With a Shotgun (because it has an awesome title). Unfortunately, Hobo With a Shotgun probably won't be playing at my theatre when it comes out on May 6th. The limited release films (if that's what it is, not sure yet) don't make it to these parts unless you're in the city. But I think that will either be an enjoyably crazy camp-classic, or it'll be ghastly and eye-gouging-worthy.

Then there's Tyler Perry's new movie. I have never seen one of his films. I find this odd. I like goofy movies, but I admit that I know almost nil about these except that he dresses up as a woman named...Madea?

Water For Elephants is another one, but I suffer from a lack of interest in it, mostly due to the fact that the book failed to float my boat.

Of course there's always Rio, the box office champ. I'm not generally in a kid's movie mood, however.

Oh, I'll let my father decide. He's so nonobjective and willing to see anything that I should just let him choose.

Movie Review: Serial Mom

*may be spoilers* I feel as if I should have seen this before, but it somehow managed to escape my notice. But hey, I found it! Great premise, too: Kathleen Turner as a picture-perfect wife and mother, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. She's also insane and likes to kill people over the smallest matters. She has a talent for murder, but not, sadly, for covering her tracks. The thought of wearing gloves or wiping fingerprints doesn't even cross her mind. The first half of this is the strongest. After she gets arrested, it loses some of its humor and charm, though it doesn't completely fall flat. Good ending, as well. Ricki Lake plays her daughter, Misty. It's easy to forget about her acting days, especially when you haven't seen her in anything...like me. I liked her in this, and may I say that it was refreshing to have a chubby young actress instead of a typical, thin, dime-a-dozen actress? Overall, not a bad comedy, but not a masterpiece.

Inspector Lewis: Wild Justice

You know, I was excited last night. Why? Because, after weeks of no Inspector Lewis, they were finally airing two new episodes back to back! Yay! PBS has been a bit backed up, what with all of their pledge programming and favorites. There are four new episodes in total, and two, I believe, were supposed to air in September. Only one did. Naturally, I was looking forward to the 9-midnight Lewis-athon. And you know what ticked me off? They didn't play two new episodes back to back. They repeated the first one and then played a new one. So I had to wait until 10:30 to get my fix. Because of course everyone wants to re-watch the first one, right? Wrong! Mamma not happy! But we did get one new episode, so I'll be content with that. They should be playing the other two next week, since a new series is supposed to start soon. This one is called "Wild Justice". Lewis and Hathaway are investigating the death of a female Bishop. She flew across the pond from the USA for
