Media report

First and foremost, Henry gave me Prison Break Season 1 DVDs as an early b-day present!! {does a little happy dance} Michael and Sara will live on in my living room forever. {sigh}

Okay, other stuff....

*Broadcast TV-- You know, I haven't been that into broadcast tv this fall. I watched 2 episodes of House but missed last week. I missed the first two episodes of Supernatural but watched last week. I taped the three episodes of Season 3 of Prison Break and-- I can't believe I'm saying this-- I think they should have ended with Season 2. I watched one episode of Private Practice-- it was okay. Predictable. I did, however, catch a few minutes of Pushing Daisies and was pleasantly surprised by the dry humor and understated narration. I may try it again.

*DVD: Freedom Writers-- This movie is based on the true story of a teacher and her students in So. Cal. It's good, inspiring...but falls short of great. I haven't read the book yet, but it would be interesting to compare the two.

*DVD: The Zodiac-- Although this is billed as a thriller, it's really not an edge-of-your-seat type of movie. It's more like a logical puzzle. (However, the murders are semi-graphic.) Parts were very interesting, but I think it should have been shorter. The resolution is not particularly satisfying, but again, this is based on a true story. Both Freedom Writers and Zodiac depict true stories of individuals who were consumed by their work...and lost their families as a result. Sometimes I wonder whether it was worth it.

*DVD: Prison Break Season 2-- Completely awesome! Go watch this.

There are a couple of books I want to write about, but I'm too tired to do that now.
