I’m slacking with the new shows of fall 2011, predicting who will last, what shows I’ll be watching, etc. I’m so late, there have already been a number of cancellations like Charlie’s Angels, The Playboy Club, Free Agents, How To Be A Gentleman… am I missing any? It doesn’t matter, I don’t think anyone is going to miss them. I only watched two of those four shows just to get the flavor of it and predicted it’s demise.
But right now I’m talking about new comer and later fall debut of Once Upon A Time, a sorta retelling or a modern-ish look at classic fairy tales. Actually I live-tweeted the show and decided mid-way that I’d write a review about it. The other boasting property this show has is that it features a couple of the writers from LOST lore. That’s an important fact for later. Read more ›
Lately, I can’t help but wonder if my “hiatus” from Facebook is having a negative effect on 
Netflix recently recommended this documentary to me based on what I’d assume my like of a string of documentaries I’ve watched recently, and probably my marathon of Mad Men, which is a recent favorite show added to my list of enjoyable TV. For those completely unaware as to what Mad Men is or what it’s about, it’s a drama on AMC about a Madison Avenue advertising company that takes place in the 60’s. Since it’s been on the air and winning Emmy’s, I constantly ignored the show… but I’m going to stop myself from raving of it’s awesomeness since this about Art & Copy. 
I personally feel this is a hidden gem of a film. I only know of a few people who have seen this film, and those that have seen it, really love it. The blame game as to who’s at fault for it’s awesomeness I think is shared between writer/director Duncan Jones and underrated actor Sam Rockwell. I may have said this before, but I’m saying it again: doesn’t Sam Rockwell have a great name? But seriously, his acting is great. I liked him since Charlie’s Angels. Seriously. And as for Mr. Jones, that is, son of legendary David Bowie, the film he made after Moon was Source Code. He’s now on my list of directors to keep an eye on.
I had wanted to see this movie in theaters, but for whatever reason I missed out. And then after renting it, I managed to watch the movie about 3 times before shipping it back. Why? I was mimicking the plot, of course!
The Trip is a road comedy starring British comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Prior to watching this, I had no idea who Rob Brydon was, but I will say that his portrayal in this film has given me some curiosity of previous works he may have done in the past. Steve Coogan, on the other hand, I’ve seen popping up in various films throughout the years, most recently Tropic Thunder.
I’ve always considered myself a Conan O’Brien fan, even though it took me a while to admit it. I mean way back when he hosted Late Night, and I found myself watching his goofy antics while I suffered from insomnia. Before that I felt tortured by my best friends whenever we had sleepovers to watch this tall, pale redhead. It was either that or Tom Green. I’ll take Conan over Green any day. 
So it’s been 2 months to the day since my last blog post. For that, I apologize. I still very much love and care about my beloved blog and those that read it religiously or happen to stumble on it thanks to a random search, or linked from a friend. Nevertheless, thanks for your visit(s) and I hope you come back and continue reading! Don’t forget the #1 way to catch up with me is on Twitter.
