TV/Movie Mania : Part One

Ok, maybe it doesn't have the same alliterative ring as 'Movie Mania' but I felt that I needed to be honest with the title.

I've created a nice little dent in my couch, glued to the wonders that are Hulu.com and Netflix/Netflix watch instantly. With my DVD fetish, I can't believe how many wonderful movies and TV shows I haven't seen.

I just finished Legend of the Seeker, which I think compares to Heath Ledger's show Roar. (That means I loved it) And if you haven't seen Roar, go for it. It's only 11 or so episodes. Celtic hero prince traveling the village with a small posse and saving the oppressed from the oppressors. Although I haven't read the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind, internet rumors are that Legend is very loosely based on his series. I will have to investigate this for myself.

I’m still working through it, but I’m greatly enjoying HBO’s series The Tudors. Jonathan Rhys Myers does a wonderful job, as do all the other players. It almost makes me want to look into the history of the time period. This is amazing; as a rule, I highly dislike history!

And I recently watched Penelope, which ranks in my book up with Ever After and Ella Enchanted. I LOVE a good Cinderella story!
