Homeland. A cable series based on Marine POWs tortured and 'turned' during the Irag/Afghan wars. Sophisticated psychological-thriller series that works well on many levels: -- religion, torture, men involved in a confusing war, etc. One of the best programs I've seen in awhile, and not predictable. Worth a look if you have the chance. Wrapping up season 1 now, and the factI'm still in on a Thursday night because i want to wrap it up speaks for itself. Well written and executed.

Fell asleep during the hobbit. Was there on a date and that didn't pan out too well. The LOTR films had some great war scenes and cinematography but didn't do justice to the books (my opinion). Saw Cloud Atlas and fell asleep also, found the Tom Hanks character annoying - BUT - they wrapped up the film nicely and the last hour or so had some potent scenes with strong themes on life that almost had me liking the film. The big surprise was when I got dragged to see the Tom Cruise movie (Jack Reacher) and liked it. Well done. Like collateral, very well written and executed - but probably won't be a smash at the box office.
