True Blood
Mad Men
Shark Week - Ultimate Air Jaws
True Blood this week got good. I can feel that post-halfway-point crescendo building, and it sounds beautiful! I love Sam on a mission, saving his brother and freeing dogs- I just wished he'd let Joe Lee have it. I have to confess I'm a little afraid of Hoyt's one-date girlfriend Summer, though I really wanted biscuits during her scene. I keep wondering if he and Jessica will get back together. And where was Jessica this episode? If they do get back together, I'm pretty sure Summer will go Fellowship of the Sun on Jessica, or try to anyway. Seems possible. On the other side of possible, Sookie's journey to fae land was a little weird. It looked like a parody of Grecian nymphs. I thought it was an interesting way to expose Sookie's family lineage, or to hint at the "mystery" as it were, but the scene was a little weird to me. I thought Jason was great in the hospital, worrying about Sookie, and it's adorable when Jason is in "love" -- but I know things are going to get dangerous with him sniffing around Hotshot. Speaking of dangerous, poor Magister. I love the Eric-Sophie-Anne-Russell Edington madness that's happening. I used to think Eric was ruthless until we met the King of Mississippi - quite the sociovampath. I'm ready for True Blood to get super crazy, and it's on its way!
Mad Men makes my Sundays, and this Sunday was no different. However, Don Draper, shame on you for sleeping with your secretary, trying to seduce your neighbor and being so drunk you can't unlock your door. I like office parties on shows, and this was no exception, especially since it brought the Christmas spirit to August -- Joan really did look like a gift in her awesome red dress. Roger has had some killer lines so far this season, and I realized I only like him when he's being funny/not around his awful wife, Jane, who kind of got minigroped by the honored guest at that party. I would say the disappointment of last night's show was the reappearance of Glen, aka the creepy boy who watched Betty pee. The only thing creepier than him vandalizing the house is how happy Sally was that he did it. That kid freaks me out -- more than most kids. Can't wait for more, Mad Men.
Shark Week is one of my most anticipated weeks of the year. In the past, some of the gimmicks have started to run a little flat -- here's looking at you computer generated prehistoric sharks. But this week's appetizer, Ultimate Air Jaws, failed to wow. Oh wow, two Seal Islands. Oh wow, sharks jump out of the water. Oh wow, sharks have to work up to being able to take out a seal mid-air. Old news, Shark Week. I mean, it's still awesome to see great whites jump like that, but I just -- it felt a little stale. Then crazy host man decides to get into a kayak smaller than some of the sharks swimming around him because there generally aren't shark attacks in the area -- until four days after they filmed! What?!? I just hope the rest of Shark Week is a little better. I don't like shitty reenactments of attacks. Taking my viewership for granted would be .... jumping the shark.

Mary and Max
IT Crowd Series Four
Mary and Max is without a doubt the best animated film I've watched this year. The claymation between the two landscapes, Max in New York, Mary in Australia, were beautiful and every scene was so full of texture and detail. It looked amazing, and the writing was even better. The two pen pals exchange letter after letter, revealing so much about their daily lives and quirks. Mary's home life is a bit of a nightmare. Max only has a life inside his apartment and at Overeaters Anonymous. But they have each other's letters, and the friendship between Mary and Max is just plain wonderful. The ebbs and flows in their letters are punctuated by really lovely music by The Penguin Cafe Orchestra. I don't have much else to say other than it's such an amazing story about friendship that will get you by the end.
The only thing I didn't like about this season of The IT Crowd is that Moss' afro was a little less orderly and side parted than usual. It's full of the usually unusual shenanigans, and I loved it all. Roy's fear of balloons, Moss' walk on the wild side, Jen's sudden exclusion from meetings that may or may not have turned into orgies. Roy's Sea Parks made of mashed potatoes. Not being able to relax if you think someone might play Norah Jones. Have you tried turning it off and on again?
The new series isn't really out in the US yet, but series 1-3 can be streamed on Netflix Instant, so do it!

Mad Men, Season Four Premiere
La Belle Personne
True Blood
Oh, Mad Men. It's been three years, now a fourth, and I'm still in love with you--- and Don in that delicious red sweater.
Anyway, I had pre-listened to the opening minutes of the show, Don's interview with Ad Age, on NPR, and I mean just hearing his voice I could have totally wrecked my car. But I liked the opening, and I liked the ending because I feel like I never really know what Don thinks, and I think watching the two interviews show how Don likes to play it. I'm very excited to see how SCDP progresses throughout the season. Also, I love seeing that guy from Jack and Bobby and The Deep End in Peggy's office. Who was that man with her when she went to solve the ham mishap though? Not sure. I didn't love that plot, but I'm glad to see they finally did something better with Peggy's hair. Maybe she'll get some good plots this season. I'm already annoyed by Betty in the way I'm annoyed by her in other seasons. Not to say I don't like her, but her ice queen demeanor and way with the children (I smell an eating disorder for the daughter!) just don't make her a character whose time I wait for on screen. I feel like it's going to be an interesting, Don-slapping season (!).
La Belle Personne is a Christopher Honore film (Les chansons d'amour, Ma Mere) featuring the tres chic Louis Garrel, again, and pleasantly Gregoire Laprince-Ringuet (both in Les chansons d'amour) and Lea Seydoux (supposedly a contender to play Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). The film is -- well, I think as a non-French speaker having to rely on subtitles early in this film is a disadvantage. Junie (Lea Seydoux) transfers to her cousin's high school after the death of her mother and meets his friends, who are all screwing each other somehow, and I didn't catch the tangled web, so later on some of the character's motivations were a little confusing. Anyway, Junie starts to date Otto (Laprince-Ringuet), a sweet, sincere, earnest (boring) kid who she plays hot and cold. Not that we really know why, other than she seems to be resisting a romantic interest in her Italian teacher, Nemours (Garrel). Subplots, baguettes and confusion follow. Although I didn't always love this film and never understood all the characters' motivations, I like Honore's films, if for no other reason than the people are beautiful, the mise-en-scene lovely and there's sometimes singing, in this case, at the end, a song by Otto reminiscent of his character in Les chansons d'amour. Lovely if a little empty seeming.
True Blood -- it's back, baby. I love manipulative Eric. I was terrified by Tara's moment with Franklin, but girl can wield a mace. Sookie gets on my nerves when she puts on that I love Bill face. I do love Grant Bowler's werewolf, Coot (better, I'll steal it for ya!). I have nothing against seeing a little Alcide booty post-change. I can't wait for Lorena to die, assuming she does, and Bill is just sooo not what he was season one. Jesus and Lafayette...we'll see. I don't think it's over. Good for Jessica, feeding on that old bitch. And my boss was totally right, the Pickens are dogfighting lowlives.
This episode picked up some, and I really enjoyed this week's 57 minutes. Once again, looking forward to the next one.

Bones
The Client List
A Single Man
Getting very close to the end of Bones online streaming, becoming more anxious about my future. Even though this show is the same every time, with the state of the body and cause of death being different, I still find it entertaining and enjoy the chemistry between the characters. Still loving Emily Deschanel as Bones, her quirks and of course her accent. Love.
The Client List is just the latest in a long string of Lifetime movies I have watched knowing it will be awful but keeping with it anyway Jennifer Love Hewitt was once great -- I'm thinking of Heartbreakers, which I still drop everything and watch when it's on TBS. But now, in this movie, as a former Texas Beauty Queen with a shitty spray tan and an amount of make-up that makes drag queens look natural - not to mention the fucking awful accent - she's just looking for a paycheck, hahahaha. Desperately needing money, she applies for work at a health spa as a massage therapist -- because she just so happens to have her license! Wow, what an amazing coincidence. Now, I respect legit massage therapists. Sometimes after finals my mom would get me a massage with her main man, Kenneth, whose hands are more magic than Harry Potter, but this place was called Kind Touch, and to me that just screams happy ending. Of course, it's more than a tugger after a hot stone on the back at Kind Touch, it's all out prostitution, and well, she does it for her family. It's really embarrassing to watch her talk to these men, wear these outfits and throw up on the way home. And she's really irresponsible with the money she earns, buying a lot of useless shit instead of keeping it for a rainy day/saving it so she gets to quit being a prostitute. I would say I can't believe I watched this, but let's face it, I totally can.
A Single Man, Tom Ford's directorial debut, has a very simple story. Colin Firth, amazing as always, still has trouble making it through the day long after his long-time lover (the always beautiful Matthew Goode) died in a car accident. And of course all of this is placed in the 1960s and all of the politics that includes - bomb shelters! passive aggressive homophobia from the neighbors! As a film student I'm pretty desensitized to obvious moves like jump cuts and flashbacks, but even some of these jump cuts were super jumpy. But that's not what took me out of the magic of the movie. It was the color temperature. Oh my god, did anyone watch this to approve final cut? The graying of Firth's character occasionally I understand, it's a "statement" or something. But sometimes the reds were so blinding, Nicholaus Hoult's lips so freakishly pink, that I just couldn't handle it It made Firth look like he suffered from Rosacea. Other than that, I thought it was very enjoyable, especially Julianne Moore's aging London princess in a perpetual pity party with amazing eyeliner and hair. Still though, I feel like I never got a handle for Firth's character, though I think it was a problem with the material, not him. He was at once indulgent and standoffish, incredibly inconsistent, which was confusing as far as motive goes. I don't know - maybe it's me. But for a first go around the track, I thought A Single Man was a pretty good film.

Bones, Season Four
True Blood
Beauty and the Beast
Oh man, I am freaking out that this is the last season of Bones available to stream (right now). It's mostly more of the same, but Dr. Addy (no longer on the staff, but I won't tell you why just in case you want to watch it) is being replaced on a rotating basis by an assortment of doctors and interns. Really though, for me and the show, we want Dr. Addy and his hilarious antics with Dr. Hodgins back. I do like to see Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks back on TV as Dr. Sweets, a therapist studying Booth and Bones. It's kind of cute, kind of annoying sometimes. Overall, enjoying season four, especially Booth and Bones undercover in a circus as a knife throwing act!
True Blood. Well, this week's episode was much improved over last. At first I really hated Franklin and his creepiness. This episode he was so completely unhinged and emo it was hilarious. "I feel like I just got staked." Lolz. And of course I am a big fan of any screen time Eric gets, and seeing some of his history as it relates to King Russell is interesting. Jessica and Sam's little brother better not do anything other than flirt quietly, and I can't wait to know what's going on with the family (Sam's). The dad is abusive, obvs, but how? I don't know yet, but at least after this week's episode I'm looking forward to next week's, which is more than I can say for earlier episodes in the season.
TCM showed Jean Cocteau's 1946 Beauty and the Beast last night -- introduced by John Lithgow! I have of course seen it before, but I'm a sucker for moving household objects, and this doom and gloom version, though dated and subpar compared to today's technology, is still lovely and beautiful and haunting. Though I will say I could always use a rousing rendition of "Gaston", ala the Disney version.

Inception
Bones, Season Three
I will not say that Christopher Nolan's Inception just saved movies.
However, as far as the summer box office goes, it will (hopefully) prove to be a much needed lifejacket. There have been a lot of box office disappointments over the past few months (Carrie, I'm looking at you -- well, you and that green ogre whose movies I don't care for). Inception isn't overly cerebral like many of Nolan's films are perceived. Inception is actually pretty straightforward. It's about penetrating dreams to find information. However, the blend of action and brain stimulation is beautifully crafted, and I don't think there is a single scene that wasn't a tiny eyegasm - here's looking at you Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as you float around in a gravity-less space kicking ass and working to save your team -- and your adorable butt and really great vest.
Really, the cast was top notch, great form. Tom Hardy, who was a familiar in an I can't place you kind of wave, was witty and charming (and from Meadowlands!). Cillian Murphy was just too trusting behind his heavily hooded eyes, and I always enjoy Ken Watanabe - he's absolute magic in any film. My real concern was Ellen Page playing outside her well-known acting space as quirky (Hard Candy notwithstanding). I admit to being very pleasantly surprised with her performance - not annoying or overly pushy as the character could have easily gone, in my view. My only regret about the cast is Leo DiCaprio - not for his performance in this film, but - for me - the general character that echoed of his character in Shutter Island. Overall though, brilliant. Jo-Go has a voice like milk chocolate as he explains he wonderfully complicated but not world he and team create and inhabit.
It's rare that a movie makes me so excited I have jitters when I walk out. It looks like I've taken a five hour energy. I shake a little, my hands clench and unclench, and I look around a little manic - I probably look a little like a meth head. The last time I felt this was after The Dark Knight (which I also saw on an IMAX screen -- maybe there's a connection?). Best movie ever? Not necessarily. Best movie of the year? I've seen some good ones but it's definitely top three, especially considering how well-blended the genres were. It's an action movie with some heart and head and not completely predictable dialogue. Saving the summer box office? Well I'm seeing it again (probably a matinee though -- so I'm throwing like $24 bucks at it, and I recommend you do the same.
Bones has been taking over my life, along with trying to make my cat like me. Nothing new to say other than the Widow's Son Killer is creepy, and I really hate Bones' fugitive family.

Bones
True Blood
River Monsters
I have finished the first season of Bones! What an accomplishment? Yeah, I do feel proud, although, like any other crime shows, some of the plots seem completely ludicrous, including the whole thing about her parents. Of course someone so smart and emotionally distant has abandonment issues. Eye roll. Also, for someone who seems to care so much about bones, she has nice curled hair and I'm dying to know what kind of eye makeup she was rocking in one of the later episodes of the season. Anyway, Definitely recommend the show for people with spare time and a soft spot for procedural crime dramas. Bones (Dr. Brennan) really is surprisingly compelling. However, having watched the first episode of season two, I hate the new character they brought on as head of forensics. She wasn't there before, as far as I can tell the job is new/made-up, and I hate petty workplace dramas. It's why I work where I do...well, that and a multiplying amount of "No"s from other places....
True Blood sucks this season. I'm going to say it. There were two good moments last night - the Sookie/Eric dream and Eric saying "brother cousins"-- and that's all. They are taking 54 minutes to tell about 15 worth of story. Sam, your parents/new family are annoying scammers who I still think are going to eat you and grill you behind their van. Tara, I wish your character would die. You are useless. All you do is get involved with creepy guys and screw over Sookie while under their influences. Bill....seriously? I get you are protecting Sookie and maybe you have to be drinking stripper blood and shit, but you are looking rough and wrinkled. Not the Bill I remember from Season One. You have fallen on my True Blood Sex Bracket. Much more of this and I'll be putting your name below Terry's. Sookie...you looked like goth trash last night, and god help me I thought it was hilarious. Eric, you are the only good part of the show. You and Pam. You and Pam and Lafayette.
Dude, River Monsters convinces me even more that I never want to swim in a non-pool environment again.
