Dexter is a Stranger Show this Season

I love the premise of the show, Dexter, which is on the showtime cable channel. He is a serial killer who hunts other serial killers.

This season he has a sister who is causing him a lot of concerns. And his friend used to date her. And his “mother” shows up asking him for help. It has a lot of twists.

One of the cool things is that this show makes a lot of commentary on politics and our society. And it seems very realistic – real settings and scenes.

Tonight I watched episode 2 of the season 8 – last season for the show. One of these days I will watch the whole show, from beginning to end. I don’t want to buy all the DVDs, but I would not mind renting them all or ordering them from Netflix.

Finally Got to Watch the Movie Version of The Help

Book cover of The Help

Having rad the book over two years ago, I have been wanting to see the movie version of The Help. I missed the chance to see it when it was first in theaters, and for some reason I did not notice when it became available at Redbox.

Thank goodness for cable TV and On Demand movies. Some of my friends love Netflix, but I get along fine with Comcast movie channels, On Demand, and Redbox. That is plenty of resources for watching most movies.

So I stumbled on the movie guide and found The Help was running on Cinemax. I flipped right to the channel and caught the end of the movie – just the credits part. Then in just a couple of minutes the movie started from the beginning because Cinemax was running the movie back to back for the whole day. I don’t know if they normally do a single movie marathon like that, but i lucked out and got to watch it. It was really just as good as the book, and the actors were cast perfectly!

Red is a Good Movie

The movie, “Red,” was on the cable channel Showtime tonight. I have not watched it in ages, but it stars Bruce Willis, who I adore! So I watched it again and was surprised to notice a lot of low level humor and lines that I had missed the first time I watched it. The story line was very good, a thriller with a lot of twists. If you are a thriller fan you can probably figure out a lot of the twists. But the average viewer will probably be surprised at a lot of it. I liked this movie a lot – this was the perfect way to end my lazy weekend.
