Book Pick of the Week!


True Crime: An American Anthology sounds riveting and well written. The book explores our country's wonderfully deep, extensive history of crime, criminals, and justice. For details checkout EW's review:

Rock Star Sketch Book


If you're shopping around for a new coffee table accessory, I recommend this entertaining book: Bands on the Road:The Tour Sketchbook. The compilation includes sketches from Coldplay, The Hives, The Raconteurs, and many more. Check out this Entertainment Weekly review for samples of the sketches:

Great comedy coming in 2009


The Brothers Bloom one of the highlights from the Toronto International Film Festival is expected to hit theaters early 2009. Check out the trailer about this delightful action comedy. It reminds me Oceans 11esque with a smaller yet still quite appealing cast.

I really recommend checking it out, otherwise you might be left in the dark and everyone will laugh at your ignorance of lyrical translation. Lucky for you and me its here in plain English:

High rated shows that should be TiVo'd


So although I won't be sitting down to watch these two FOX shows this fall many others are as J.J. Abrams' new Show Fringe keeps soaring in the ratings while the ever popular House isnt as popular but still a good show.

So if the CW isn't your cup of tea on Tuesdays check out:

House @ 8 PM
Fringe @ 9 PM

on FOX!

Fall 2008= Season of Guilty Pleasures

The Fall TV Season this year is going to heat up as some of my favorite (and all around popular) shows are going to be having their season premieres this fall...but for me my fall tv schedule has already started with some guilty pleasures, so if you haven't already think about checking out these shows for some quality entertainment....well maybe not quality but at least its not reality tv!

Gossip Girl: Awesome fashion, easy to catch up on, considering I havent seen the first season and I pretty much am clued in to everything already! Think Cruel Intentions in a series form.

90210: Not as fabulous as the original in my opinion, but the drama reawakens what I felt when I watched the first season of THE O.C. and since I have completely deserted the non reality that is The Hills, I have filled my need for West Coast scenes with this promising guilty pleasure series.

Privileged: You can't help but cheer for the lead girl to succeed and laugh at the silly spoiled twins. This show rounds out my geography of the young and filthy rich by being in Miami

ok so maybe thats all the cw...and all the shows have a shallow base, but the outfits are awesome and i get to experience NYC, LA, and Paim Beach, so sue me...I did say they were guilty pleasures.....

So maybe you should plan your week accordingly:

Sunday:
9: Desperate Housewives ABC (Starting Sept. 28th)
10: Entourage HBO (Season in Session)
-0r-
10: Brothers & Sisters ABC (Starting Sept.28th)

Monday:
8: Gossip Girl CW (Season in Session)
-or-
8: Chuck NBC (Starting Sept. 29th)
9: Heroes NBC (Starting Sep. 22nd)

Tuesday:
8: 90210 CW (Season in Session)
9: Privileged CW (Season in Session)

Wednesday:
8: Pushing Daisies ABC (Starting Oct. 1st)
10: Dirty Sexy Money ABC (Starting Oct. 1st)

Thursday:
8:30: Kath & Kim, NBC (Starting Oct. 9th)
9: Grey's Anatomy ABC ( Starting Sept. 25th)
-or-
9: The Office NBC (Starting Sept. 25th)

So there it is my picks for the fall. Feel free to comment or add to what you'll be watching!

Entourage is back with awesomeness....but what about that new show True Blood?


Last night Entourage came back in its full glory finding Vincent Chase vacationing post Medellin flop with Turtle in Mexico. The scenes, the music, all awesome...meanwhile everyone else is back in LA trying to get his career back in order. I don't want to spoil the episode for anyone who Tivo'd it but it makes me excited for the rest of the season. Following the episode the debut of HBO's new show True Blood came on. Needless to say the opening scene did little to keep me watching and soon I found myself drifting back over to the VMAs...did anyone watch and love it? I'm still willing to give it a chance if it isn't as silly as it appeared in the opening.

Last Season of Flight of the Conchords


I became a big fan of Flight of the Conchords last year on HBO so I was very sad to find out that this season will be the shows last. Apparently,Bret and Jemaine, the dynamic duo that are the band on the show have not been able to keep up with making up new songs all the time and the second season was a struggle for them to make. So sad, but I guess I would rather have two good seasons than alot of bad ones.
