Intelligent TV Series In 2010

Monday, March 15th, 2010

We use out television for entertainment, that’s what it was designed for. We suspend belief for an hour or so while we enjoy being entertained. Some believe, however, that TV rots the brain cells with all the violence etc. Some shows, however, still have morals and teach us lessons for life. These are the best of those.

The first one is Psych; this is a networked crime drama which I think is great fun. A guy who’s memory is photographic and wits are razor sharp passes himself off as a psychic to solve mysteries and crimes.

Everyone loves to play detective, and I am one while this show is on. It really gets you thinking and makes great TV.

A favorite show of mine is on ABC and is Super Nanny. This fascinating program deals with the super nanny, Jo Frost, helping parents on both sides of the Atlantic who simply can’t cope with their kids anymore. You can catch re runs on Style every day.

She enters their homes and gives out great advice on how to handle their unruly kids without screaming at them or dealing out harsh punishments. Both the kids and their parents benefit greatly from Jo Frost’s presence.

I’m not a great fan of makeover programs but the likes of How do I look? fascinate me. These people mustn’t have mirrors in their homes the way they dress. They are shown what to suits them and how to wear it, and become chic and well dresses people.

I don’t believe in judging a book by its cover, but they so often are. Tips to improve how you look can have a huge bearing on the rest of your life.

If I can be entertained and educated at the same time, I’m very happy. I get both of these from all the CSI shows, NCIS and Law and Order. They show behind the scenes of our legal system as well as dealing with moral and ethical dilemmas. No subject is taboo, however disturbing.

The writer additionally often shares knowledge on topics including floor register cover and air conditioning vents.

A Synopsis Of Sunshine Cleaning

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The movie Sunshine Cleaning, which got released back in the beginning of last year, was finally offered without charge through my TV cable plan. I have really been itching to watch it based on all the great things that I have heard about it and just finished viewing it.

First, I’ll fill you in on a basic synopsis of the movie without giving anything away. This is a movie starring Amy Adams as Rose Lorkowski and Emily Blunt as Norah Lorkowski, two sisters in their late 20s or early 30s, living in New Mexico.

Since their mother had died when they were really little, the sisters were reared by their father who was able to give them lots of love throughout those difficult years. Rose’s son Oscar, who is played by Jason Spevack, is about 8 years old.

Although he is very smart, Oscar has been passing the years minus a father figure which has resulted in a few difficulties along the way. He is not very easily understood.

Both the sisters have come across hard times financially as they continually tried to get somewhere in life. Yes, he found a way to make things work for himself, but their father is still not doing all that much better than they are.

Norah and Rose make the decision to begin a business, and that is what this movie is mainly about. It is not a business that you would normally think of because cleaning up areas where people have died is what this business happens to be. Every bit of residue and blood has to be removed from the area, but moving the dead bodies is not required.

As the two sisters go along in this distinctive business, everything that goes on with it is told in this movie. During that time, there is an examination of Rose and Norah’s relationship as well as Rose and Oscar’s relationship, along with some other ones.

With some great acting jobs, you certainly feel a connection to the characters of the movie, feeling their joy and pain through their ups and downs. I’d recommend seeing this movie if you’re looking for a high quality drama.
