MOTD
How about that
shipping day yesterday? With over a dozen new titles in stores, there's got to be something for everybody in there. No question about it — the ramp-up to the holiday season has begun!
I watched Last House of the Left, a remake of
Wes Craven's 1972 action/thriller movie. I've never seen the original version, but the remake was a pretty good flick, with quite a few graphic scenes that will make you gasp and cringe.
We also watched the new Heroes episode, and while it may be better than last season, it's still all over the place, as if the writers have no idea in which direction to go. What happened to the NY bomb incident, the original heroes and the old company? There are way too many loose ends scattered about ....
Then there is House, which is always great, but we've been following
Hugh Laurie since the late '80s, when he was in
Black Adder,
A Bit of Fry and Laurie,
Jeeves and Wooster, and we've even read his book,
The Gun Seller.
