The Following: New Fall Series on Fox

The Following:  New Fall Series on Fox:  Thriller

I have been looking for something that might be worth checking out in the fall and The Following looks promising.

The trend for Film Actors to cross over to TV is growing.  Kevin Bacon is the next to follow that trend.  His wife Kyra Sedgwick has had some success with TV...with one of my favorite series "The Closer"...but I haven't written about it because the detective drama is about to end...

In The Following: Bacon is a FBI profiler and followers serial killers...sounds a bit dark...but I bet the acting will be good...it is more of the same...and I do wish the networks would get creative...but I will check it out...

Here is the trailer for the up and coming series  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8H4ewQzKFM

I will keep you posted on its release.

"The Following" will be a new Fox Series.

No Red Hots yet...

This Means War: Review

This Means War:  Comedy: Action:  Romance

This Means War is the ultimate Romance movie for women...two good looking guys fighting over the love of one woman...Reese Witherspoon.

Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are Spies...so you can imagine it is action packed.  Sometimes predictable but quirky and fun...

I am a huge Reese Witherspoon fan.  I think it is because I am from the South and love that she represents the South so well.  She is a wonderful actor and I can't think of anything I have seen her in that I didn't like...

I enjoyed This Means War and even though it has a lot of action...things blowing up...fight scenes...it is still a chic flick...so women...get some popcorn and invite your girlfriends over...you will enjoy This Means War.

I give "This Means War"...2 1/2 Red Hots!

The Grey: Review

The Grey:  Action: Adventure: Drama

The Grey was named perfectly as it set me in a somewhat hopeless mood the entire movie.


Liam Neeson is the star and I love his work.  In fact, the acting is what kept me watching until the very end.  The cast did a wonderful job with a script that took you into a black hole and never got you out of it.


At times, I felt like I was watching a bad horror movie...you know the kind, when the girl leaves the room full of people and you are screaming at the screen don't leave...because you know she is next...


If you are a Liam Neeson fan, you want to watch this movie.   He plays his normal take control character and he gives this character 100% of himself.  Joe Anderson did a great job.  I don't recognize him from anything else I have seen, but I am betting I will see him again real soon.


The movie was predictable and I hate bad movie endings...and this one...well it left me feeling grey.  


I give "The Grey" 2 Red Hots!

21 Jump Street: Review

21 Jump Street:  Movie Review

21 Jump Street might of been popular in the days of Johnny Depp, but even a cameo appearance from Mr. Depp, didn't help this movie at all.

The movie is a comedy, but the humor was dull and I didn't laugh at all.  To me it was stupid, not funny.

The characters Schmidt and Jenko played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill: are cops.  Channing is nice to look at, but that is about all he had going for him in the movie.

Hill...you will remember from the movie "Superbad"...he plays the same type of character he always does, not much of a stretch for him and if he doesn't do something different soon, he will be type cast for the rest of his life.  It does works for Adam Sandler though...maybe I am just over 40 and don't get it...maybe I am just dated...but I did love "Superbad"...

Hill was also the producer and says "21 Jump Street 2" the sequel will start shooting in 2013...That is one sequel I will miss.

I have read reviews and everyone else seems to like it...is it just me?

I give "21 Jump Street" 1 Red Hot!

Anger Management: FX Series

Anger Management:  FX Series

Charlie Sheen is back.  After all the attention of him being fired from"Two and a Half Men" the title of his new show seems very  appropriate.

While I wasn't impressed with the first episode, it was a bit slow and not really funny...I decided to keep watching.  I don't know why but I think I just wanted to see what he might do next.  I am still watching and it seems to get better each episode.  I don't know, maybe I just like Charlie's dry sense of timing and humor.

It almost seems like he is working out some of his own issues on the show, as he plays a psychologist  named Charlie Goodson...who helps people with...anger problems.

I am going to give it a chance...as I do love a couple of his co-stars:  Selma Blair and Shawnee Smith.



I don't watch "Two and a Half Men" anymore...maybe Charlie did make the show...

Anger Management is on FX Thursday nights at 9:30.

I give Anger Management 2 Red Hots!

Scandal: ABC Series

Scandal:  ABC Series

I watched the first season of Scandal and I was hooked from the first episode...and so was the network, as it is one of the few new series that survived and will be back for a second season.

If you are into politics, you will love Scandal.   The star,  Kerry Washington who's character is Olivia Pope is fascinating.  She was the communications director for the President of the United States, but has left to start her own crisis management company...and the show has twists and turns that make the series worth following.

I will keep you posted for season 2...I give Scandal 3 red hots!

Buck: Documentary

Buck:  Documentary

Buck is a Documentary about the life of Buck Brannaman and his love for horses and family.

If you wanted to know more about the man played by Robert Redford in the movie "Horse Whisperer"...then watch Buck.  Buck is the real person behind the character Redford so wonderfully portrayed.

The documentary has been out for a while, but I didn't see it until this year.  It has won all kinds of awards and is both fun and interesting to watch.

If you love horses, this is a must see documentary.   This is one I have watched over and over again...but then again...I love horses!

I give Buck 4 1/2 Red Hots!!
