How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother. One of my top five favorite shows for sure! I can't remember coming across an episode I didn't like. No matter how bummed I might have been, it sure knows how to make me laugh and smile.

Brothers and Sisters

I love watching Brothers and Sisters. There are qualities about that show make it so appealing to me. It reminds me so much of my own families' dynamics. The big family. Being in each others' business. Everyone keeping secrets. Arguing. Having drama, but unconditionally loving each other despite it all. Life is art. And art imitates life. Or at least the saying goes something like that.

American Gangster

This movie is amazing. The story line and the direction is incredible. Denzel Washington puts on another academy award winning performance. This movie is so many genres put into one. First, it's set in the 1970's. It has several cultures reflected in it--italian, african american, mofia, drugs, corruption, cops/detectives. I love how this story shows two different points of view of the same story. I can't believe its based on a true story. I also noticed that Russell Crow is doing another whistleblower role. He really has his American accent set. It was hard to watch the dirty needles and the gun fire, but aside from that I did enjoy this one. Good job to Ridley Scott.
