It was a slow week for movies, so I'll add in some other stuff.
Murder by Death (1976) - with all-star cast, this pokes fun at all the major sleuths of the early twentieth century - Miss Marple, Charlie Chan, Nick and Nora Charles, Sam Spade, & Hercule Poirot - but in an almost homage kind of way. There's still a mystery to solve and a surprise ending, so loads of fun. Hubs hadn't seen this before and he seemed to enjoy it, despite its occasional camp and cheesiness. Me, I'm all about camp and cheesy sometimes. ;o)
Here are some non-movies we've watched or are currently watching:
Emily of New Moon (1998) - I added this to my save list because we really enjoyed Anne of Green Gables, and this was also LM Montgomery. What could go wrong? OMG, this was so sad - first her mom dies and then her dad dies, she's forced to live with a nasty aunt who kicks her cat out of the carriage in the middle of the woods. I hoped in other episodes the story would get better, but I went through the first season looking at each episode's synopsis, and nope. Every episode was tragic. We vetoed watching anymore.
A Touch of Frost (1992) - We are super enjoying this series. I love DI 'Jack' Frost. The writing is good, the characters are awesome, the plots are thrilling. Good stuff all the way around.
The Last Detective (2003) - Also super enjoying this series. DI 'Dangerous' Davies is the nice guy who finishes last. He gets all the nothing cases, but he's a good man and a smart detective, so he manages to solve each of the nothing cases that ends up being a something case. Smart and funny, with heart.
Life (2007) - this series stars Damian Lewis (who played Dick Winters on Band of Brothers). I'd seen this advertised way back when it was on TV but, at the time, I didn't want to see this actor on a show like this. I'm glad I got over it. So far, it's been a pretty good series. I was afraid they were going to insert a romantic thing, but from the last episode we watched, I think they kyboshed that. We'll see.
I'm still watching too much TV, but it's getting better. What things have you watched lately?
My TV is mostly OPL and Discover Ch. reality. I keep thinking I should watch some streaming stuff but I fall asleep at night and during the day, I keep getting interrupted, which also includes trying to write. Which is a chore. There are times I wish I could take the scenes in my head and turn them into videos and just be done with it. LOLOL
