New Show: Justified

I just finished watching episode 1 of the new FX series Justified (download for free on Itunes).  I'm officially hooked.  Now if I can just remember to watch it on Tuesday nights at 10pm.  I may have to wait until the season is over to Netflix it.

I haven't watched an FX television series since before Nip/Tuck started sucking. I decided to give the show a try because it stars my husband, Timothy Olyphant (better known as Sheriff Seth Bullock from Deadwood) as a U.S. Marshall, with anger issues, ordered to work in his hometown of rural Kentucky.  The show is hardcore.  I stopped counting how many people got shot in the first episode.  Definitely a show to check out.

The Smurfs Movie...

Initially, I was considering shunning this movie, as I have with other 80s remakes (e.g. Miami Vice and the soon due out Karate Kid).  However, it appears they are making ever effort for The Smurfs 3D feature, to not suck!  In theaters in 2011, some of the voice talent includes Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Katy Perry, and Alan Cumming. 

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Opening this Summer at Universal Studios Orlando!! Am I the only one that has been waiting for something like this since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?  If it's anything like the teaser on the website, its sure to be AWESOME!

Mafia!! Movie Ticket Prices Increase Again...

Out of the blue, we find out that ticket prices are set to increase 5% starting...TODAY!!! Thanks for the warning movie theaters.  It looks like the influx of these big budget 3D movies is to blame.  However, if your looking to go see Clash of the Titans on April 2nd, it will cost you almost $20 per person. Those are Mafia prices. Straight up jacking your wallet. Seriously hoping your not looking to buy any snackicakes to munch on during the movie, because a date night may run you $60+ (or you can just stash your purse with goodies from Walgreens and McDonalds like I do). 

"Ey yo, bootleg man! What you got yo? 2 for 10?!"

For my SciFi Geeks....The Dresden Files

Ok, so I may have a slight obsession with Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files.  It all started with the the 2007 SyFy Channel series starring Paul Blackthorne, who I am utterly in love with.  It's about a wizard/detective set in present day Chicago.  It's full of magic, monsters, sex, violence, and a few laughs.  My favorites!  Unfortunately, the series only lasted one season.  In my opinion, it was one of the best series SyFy has ever aired.  I have every single episode on my Ipod, and I can watch them over and over.  You can watch all 12 episodes for free on Hulu. 

After several Google searches to find out if a there would be a Season 2, and several signed petitions later, I discovered that the television show was actually based on a book series by Jim Butcher (see link above).  From the first book, Storm Front, I was hooked.  It is hands down the best subway reading...EVER.  I find myself talking to the book as if I was at the movies..."oh no he didn't", "look out mofo!", "oh he crazy".  Yes, I have gotten several stares on the train, but I don't care.  I have also spied a couple people who were also reading the series, and we give each other that knowing look that only Dresden-ophiles can understand.  I even got my boyfriend addicted.

Harry Potter is good, but definitely for the kiddies compared to Dresden.
