My Current Interest

               It took me a little while to watch this movie.   There it sat with the rest of the mail waiting for me to pick it up.   Most movies I watch pretty quickly, but for some reason I thought Paper Clips was going to be a dreary fictional piece.   Right now I am not up for dreary.   When I finally put the film in I realized I had been quite wrong.   Not only was this not dreary, but it was a documentary.   Where I got the idea it was fiction, I do not know.   The point is, instead of dreary I got a positive and uplifting documentary.                    A middle school in a small town in Tennessee is the focus of this film.   With such little diversity in the school, the administration and faculty became concerned and decided to start a program about differences in people.   They did this by teaching the students about the Holocaust.   When the students were informed about the six million Jews killed, the students could not fathom that much of anything.   They decided to sta

           My love of mysteries strikes again!   This series stars Meg, a blacksmith with quite an interesting family.   Each book has a different bird in the title and the birds sometimes become a strong part of the story.   Meg is always the one to lead the story along.   In Murder with Peacocks Meg starts her detecting adventures.                        Meg has returned home to take part in the weddings of her best friend, brother, and mother.   Take part would actually be quite an understatement.   Completely organizing and running the weddings would be more accurate.   Each of the three brides, including her future sister-in-law, call Meg with new demands constantly.   Finding a non-wedding moment is hard for Meg to do.   While the weddings are not crazy enough, the sister-in-law of her mother’s fiancée is found dead.   This woman was not a pleasant person, and alienated people in the few days between introduction and death.   The suspect list is not exactly small.             

              Currently I am sitting and watching a marathon of the show Love It or List It .   I have seen this show several times before as it sometimes airs on the weekends.   As I sometimes struggle to find something to watch during the weekday, I was glad to see this show was on.   However, as much as I enjoy this show, nearly everyone on it drives me crazy.                               A couple is fed up with the house they are currently living in.   They are trying to determine whether to stay in their home or move.   This is where David and Hilary come in.   David is determined to find a new house for the couple and get their current home listed.   Hilary is going to renovate and show the couple they can love their house once again.   Both David and Hilary receive a list of necessities and a budget.   Their tasks are always a lot easier said than done.                 In my view Hilary has a bit of a harder task than David.   She often runs into structural problems that need

             This movie was recommended to me by the mail order movie service.   I thought it could be interesting and threw it on the list.   Once it was over, I was surprised at how much I liked City Island .                 Andy Garcia plays a corrections officer.   While he has been doing his job for years, there has always been a part of him that has wanted to be an actor.   Every week he sneaks off to an acting class claiming he is going to play poker.   His wife is suspicious of these “poker nights” and believes he is actually having an affair.                 While the acting classes may be enough of a secret, it is not the only one in the family.   Everyone believes the daughter is away at college working hard and studying.   In reality she has been kicked out of school and taken a job as a stripper.   Then there is the son.   He has a tendency to look at very “interesting” websites and has a thing for large women.   The next door neighbor is one such woman and he befriends

             Yesterday, after watching a heart breaking tennis match (yes, I get that involved in certain matches) all I wanted to do was watch Psych .   There have not been any new episodes for closing in on a year and I was beginning to get worried the show was not coming back.   Thankfully new episodes are coming soon and on top of it, another channel has started to air the reruns on the weekend.   I am having a great time watching the reruns since they make me laugh every time.                      I will be honest, when this show first came out, I was not that big on it.   A lot of this may have been because it aired after Monk which I absolutely adored.   It took me a bit, but once I really sat and watched the show, I realized just how funny it is.                 The premise is Shawn is a fake psychic detective.   His father trained him to be hyper-observant throughout his childhood and he is using this ability to fool the cops into believing he is psychic.   Reluctantly alon
