Well, today is Valentine's Day, which I think is designed to depress us single folk who will be alone this day. Come to think of it, almost ever holiday seems to exist to create depression in people.
House (Fox) had a very nice Cuddy episode this past week. I have to say given how much is on her plate in doing that job, House seems like even a bigger jerk when he distracts her with his petty crap. Good show and it really fleshed out who Lisa Cuddy is. A
American Chopper (TLC) comes to an end with a whimper this past week. Clearly the producers did not expect the show to get cancelled as this was a very lackluster ending. OCC opens a barbecue OCC themed restaurant in Kansas City, would love to know how that is going given the fine barbecue places already there. Sr moans how his kids are not there and how they don't want to be part of the business anymore, gee I kind of think you pretty move drove them away. I also note the big photos of both Mikey and Jr that were on display, hopefully they are getting a piece of that pie for use of their photos. They built a bike for Kobalt tools which their clients pretty much designed for them, guess they did not want to take a chance on Jason and Sr's crappy designs. Jr. is getting married, and Mikey sold the family house. Oh and Sr had his step kids over for Thanksgiving with both him and his wife whining about Jr. and Mikey not coming over. Gee, did you invite them? This episode and well as this last season gets an F.
American Chopper pretty much went downhill after the Discovery Channel handed the show off to TLC. It was the right thing to do to pull the plug on this show.
The Wolfman, directed by Joe Johnston and starring Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Geraldine Chaplin, and Hugo Weaving. I really enjoyed this remake of the classic 1941 Universal The Wolfman. I thought that Johnston captured the atmosphere of the first film very well and thought the performances were very good. I like the Inspector Abberline character as played by Weaving being in the film, coming off the Jack the Ripper murders and seeing these savage killings was a nice parallel. Very good film and probably not high tech or gory enough for today's teen audience. A
Oh well.
