I'm Baaacckk!

I'm baaacckk! I've been working on my outline for Madness lately. I should be done with it soon and be able to move on to the pilot script. FINALLY!

I've also started working on outlines for both Silent Partner and Relation. I'm considering a third draft of Wonderful Life and working on corrections in preparation for a fourth draft of Curse the Sea. Aaanndd, I got some new ideas to map out too. Sooo, busy.

I'm finishing up on one internship and got a new job, which will hopefully help me get a new, more affordable apartment. I'm still trying to find the an assistant job at a Literary Agency, so if anybody's hiring...

But, I'd like to get back into this blog. I work at a theater now, so I get to watch a lot of movies for free. I'd like to tell people about the best films out there so they don't spend their money on crap.

Also, as you know, I love TV. We're closing in on the end of premiere season, and while it's a little late, I want to talk about some of the new shows on TV.

So be on the look out for some good stuff soon.

Breakout Kings

So, I might be getting a higher position at work, and that's good...I suppose. Though, I hope I can get along with my boss. AKA, I hope he doesn't make me want to quit because he's fickle and can be an ass.

Today I'm looking at Breakout Kings, which in my opinion didn't get the advertising it deserved. I didn't even know it was coming on. I just happened to see the preview for it one night and thought it looked interesting. So, when I had nothing to watch because everything good was in hiatus, I found it On Demand and decided to check it out. I really enjoyed it.

This show has a lot of promise as a unique procedural and a boasts a terrific cast, even down to it's guest stars. A&E (ignoring it's reality shows) has begun - like many of the other cable networks - to beef up it's primetime line up with quality tv series. I look forward to the return of The Glades as well as the introduction of more high caliber series.

Being Human

Well, I had intended to post this entry over 3 months ago. It's been sitting here half done with about 5 others that long, and it looks like things are only going to get busier. (Le Sigh) I've said it before and I'll say it again. 2011 is not starting out to be a very good year...though I did lose about 10 lbs. So I guess that's something to celebrate.

As far as Madness goes, well, it doesn't. Though I was recently bite by the writing bug, so it might get going again soon. I have a new angle on the title to explore, so we'll see where that goes.

Today we're looking into the American remake of a British hit. Usually, those don't go well. I loved Life on Mars. The American remake, however, was...(shiver). But, I'm happy to say that Being Human, while not amazing, is not cringe-worthy. I've seen most of the first season of both and can say with certainty that I am proud of my man Jeremy Carver...and his wife.

I'm also proud of SYFY. While we are not seeing the Golden age of Stargate and Battlestar, we are seeing what I would label as the Bronze age of Warehouse 13, Haven, and (of course) Being Human.

REPOST - $#*! My Dad Says

%@^* Blogger!! Since it deleted this section of my page somehow. It was there and then I tried to upload my Hawaii Five-0 post; and it was gone.

So, I tried to rewrite from memory what I originally wrote. It's not as great as the first time around (#*!!, what do I know, it's probably better). But, I think it still gets the same points across.

This was the fourth in a series of posts on this year's new shows. To see this review, go to the TV Tab.

Hawaii Five-0

So, I really wanted to do a Thanksgiving post, but of course that didn't happen. Plus, I'm having writer's block again. Ugh!!

Well, we're halfway through the 2010-2011 TV season. A lot of shows are getting to go on hiatus. And surprisingly, most of the shows have made it through fall, save Lonestar, The Undercovers, Outlaw, and The Whole Truth. (I'm leaving out My Generation and a few others because I'm only dealing with fall premiered shows that lasted less than a season.) And, considering only two of those were axed in less than 10 episodes, I'd say it was a good year in television.

Anyway, on to the main course, this post is going to be about my second favorite premiere this season, Hawaii Five-0. Okay, so unlike The Defenders, I really thought this show would die off after six episodes, at most. However, I have a secret love for Alex O'Loughlin, so I decided to watch anyway, and I have to say I was unexpectedly impressed.

This is the fifth in a series of posts on this year's new shows; stay tuned for a few more. To see this review, go to the TV Tab.

Lonestar

Went on vacation for a few days in Philly. Got to visit some friends, go shopping, catch a show, and all around have a good time. Now, that I'm back, I'm gonna try to work hard on my screenwriting.

Plus, I need to reread HP7 before the next movie. Simply because there's so much stuff that happens in that book. I know I don't remember even a fraction of it all, so I may be totally lost during the movie (which sometimes happens anyway due to directors "taking liberties").

Anyways, here is a review (such as it is) on the-now defunct-show, Lonestar. This is the third in a series of posts on this year's new shows, stay tuned for No Ordinary Family, $#*! My Dad Says, Undercovers, Hawaii 5-0 and more.

The Defenders

My apologies for the 2 week absence. RL is crazy. I haven't even gotten the chance to do any writing. Thinking, but no writing. Hopefully, I can finish up my beat sheet and start on my outline this week. Anyway, on to an entry in my fall premieres, which I have been neglecting.

In my opinion, this probably the best show to premiere this season. This is the second in a series of posts on this year's new shows, stay tuned for Lonestar, Chase, $#*! My Dad Says, Undercovers, Hawaii 5-0 and more.

Mike and Molly

A good-but unfortunately, not great-start to the fall line up. I enjoyed it, but it feels like there's something missing. Though, I'll place a fair wager that it's gonna get better. Chuck Lorre doesn't usually disappoint.

This is the first in a series of posts on this year's new shows, stay tuned for Lonestar, Chase, The Event, $#*! My Dad Says, Undercovers, and more.

Fall Season Premieres

It's Fall Premiere Season! So I'm going to try and watch all the new series pilots and give you the lowdown on what to watch and what not.

Stay Tuned!
