You're Welcome America

I watched the first hour of Will Ferrell's HBO special about W's farewell from the White House.

But that's about all I could sit through. Don't get me wrong, it was quite humorous, from his bout with a suspected NY Times journalist to the sexually driven dance performance from "Condi". But I think an hour really would have sufficed. Maybe watching it live was more intense but I'm not about to watch Bush talk for more than 13 minutes, so I think an hour for Will Ferrell is good enough.

Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I'd recommend the first hour for those who haven't seen it yet.

And to wrap up Black History Month

I hope all will be tuned into "The Black List: Volume 2" on HBO tonight at 8.

Trust Him Already!

TNT's show, "Trust Me" isn't keeping my attention anymore. I like the concept and it has potential. I don't want to give up on it. It seems that the theme of the show has become "how will Eric McCormack piss off Tom Cavanagh this week?" Its getting a little old. I want to see this show expand.

Good-bye Strikers!

Tonight the Strikers All-Stars were eliminated from MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. While I'm not a high fan of the show, I am a student at FAMU, home of the Strikers. They had a great run on the show and represented Tallahassee brilliantly.

We'll miss you Strikers!!

TI's Road to Redemption

Revealing. Insightful. Commendable.


I do recommend it.

A Few Weeks In

A few weeks ago I posted about the new shows "Lie To Me" on Fox and "Trust Me" on TNT. I've given up on "Lie To Me". I felt the show was pretentious and assuming. Tim Roth's character had perfected his craft just a little too well and didn't know when to keep that mess to himself.

As for Trust Me, hmm. Its interesting. I see where its trying to go, it just hasn't gotten there yet. After 3 episodes, I still have to remind myself that its coming on, that's how I know it hasn't completely sucked me in. But I do remind myself and I do follow every episode. Sometimes though, it doesn't feel cohesive, I like my dramas to have things that keep me guessing and putting the pieces together even a few weeks down the line. Also, the characters are losing their sheen. Tom Cavanagh is still charming and quirky but with the promotion of Eric McCormack's character comes the inverse of his likability. It isn't that he's turned evil, I mean that would be more interesting, now he's just... a little dull. And I like McCormack! He's quick and fiery. I just want more of that. I know he isn't Will anymore, but where's the passion?
