the returned ... if you havent seen or heard of this show, it is a french drama/thriller mini-series about a bus crash that kills some people....only they come back to their families after a few years...its a bit bizarre, but man ive found it very interesting
 
I notice that Stringer Bell is also in this movie Pacific Rim. Saw a clip of him giving a rousing pep talk, rallying the troops to fend off the apocalypse and whatnot.

A bit surprised to see some respectable reviews for that flick. My expectation was: crap.
 
Started watching Arrested Development on Hulu. At first was disappointed. I found the narration distracting and the family too annoyingly retarded to be interesting.

However, 10 episodes or so in I started to like it. The father in prison character is probably my favorite. Love how he used part of his shoe as a yarmulke in one episode. And the ending of season 1 where he escapes pretty good.

But now I'm done with first season and it seems they want you to pay for season 2. I just don't know if I can make myself pay to watch a tv show with commercials on a computer. Feels a bit retarded.
 
In The Heat of the Night (1967) - Had another look at this former Best Picture winner.

Excellent flick. There were some elements of how the actual mystery was solved that seemed loose to me - if we have any ITHOTN scholars here, I would enjoy discussing it - but whatever, it is a great overall package.

8.7 out of 10.
