King Kong (2-Disc Special Edition) Somehow I missed Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong when it was out in the theaters. Really outstanding visual design and effects, a far more believable relationship between Ann (Naomi Watts) and Driscoll (Adrien Brody), a touching portrayal of Kong by Andy Serkis, and even Jack Black manages to not annoy me. Gets a little draggy in the middle when they're on the island, but the beginning and the end are really top-notch. Not sure why Kong had such a poor reception when it was out at the box office. It really deserves a first look if you skipped it, or a second look if you didn't like it.
How did you like the series? I'm a fan, and was sad when I finished the 6th season.

Been ripping through these recently. That and

Just got to season 4, Kinda a bit miffed at the loss of Carol.
Have you seen the movie (see above) that was recently released?
My husband and I saw The Informant this past weekend with Matt Damon. It was a prettty good movie and the Matt Damon character was "mental" to say the least. I think you can really enjoy this movie if you were in on the "inside" joke. My husband knew a lot about the characters in the movie and he enjoyed it much more than I did.
What I have really gotten into is "Lost" season one.

Working on season two to try and catch up.

I've enjoyed all three seasons of Torchwood, but I certainly understand what my friends meant when they said "Children of Earth" was when the show finally got good. They've finally told a story that lives up to Torchwood's potential as "Doctor Who for adults." Really gripping, but they still manage to keep the sense of cheeky fun that made the first two seasons so enjoyable.
Deadwood - The Complete First Season
Deadwood - The Complete Second Season
I saw the first two seasons of Deadwood a few years ago, but never got to see the final season; sadly I'm still in a waiting list for it at the library. But the first two seasons were as great as I remembered... so raw, so brilliantly murky in its morality, with incredibly written and performed dialogue. David Milch makes poetry out of profanity, and Ian McShane is the right man to deliver it. His Al Swearengen is a tour de force and worth the cost of the DVDs alone.
A friend got me hooked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm disappointed that I passed on this the first time around -- it's really a fantastic show. Great characters, great writing, and of course that constant undercurrent of wry, self-aware Whedonesque humor. Right now I'm halfway through Season 4.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 4
Buffy! Buffy! Buffy! Buffy! Buffy! Buffy!
