Movies, Shows, Books

Just a few of the things I like. Let me know what you think the best shows on tv are, and which ones you feel have "jumped the shark".

My favorite show at this time is Lie to Me. It's new and it's a fun twist on the usual dectective story. If you haven't seen Lie to Me, you can check it out on Fox Wednesdays at 9/8c.
The show stars Tim Roth whom I have loved ever since the movie Four Rooms. Roth's character cannot be fooled, he always knows when people are lying because he can see it in their facial expressions as well as their body language. This makes life for those around him very interesting and a bit complex. I think if I were his daughter I would feel as if I were walking on egg shells constantly.

As far as books go I have been reading books about writing and I am finish The Amber Spyglass which has been a great book. Though it is very religiously controversial, it is a fiction novel so I feel that it's okay to read. This fantasy novel looks at the world and the church and takes a totally different view on everything. The characters are charming and interesting and I cannot wait to see how the book truly ends.

On the movie front I am dying to see a couple of the girly films right now. I have to fulfill a certain yearning inside me to watch the girl's night movies every so often. The movies I want to see right now are Confessions of a Shopaholic, and He's Just Not That Into You, which I believe the later is a couples movie and would go well if you have been with the person for a longer amount of time. How tragic would it be if you were sitting in the movie theatre with your new fling and you realized that he just isn't that into you...

Other movies of interest currently are: Taken, and (as everyone around me rolls their eyes), Fired Up. Yes I said it; you never know it may be funny.. I am hoping for Eurotrip funny but it's more of a teen flick I think so I won't hold my breath.
