Repo Men

We recently watched the movie Repo man with Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schrieber and a multitude of other people.  It is based in the future and it is about a company called The Union who manufacturers hearts, livers, kidneys, etc.  You sign papers, they finance the transplant, and if you forget to make payments, they repossess them.  Now, it is a very weird movie, but it is good.  I'm still trying to figure out the ending, as the DVD skipped at one place and threw us forward.  Any way, I do recommend this for the watching if you haven't seen it.  Rating it at three and half stars, because the jury is still out.  Have a great day!

The T.V. Series, "Lie To Me"

I don't know his name other than the character he plays and that is Cal Lightman.  I love this series!  It is all based around scientific research, but is still fictional.  The Lightman Company is called in to help see if people are telling the truth about crimes, or other things.  The people help the interviewee to recall an event in order to prove their innocence or guilt.  If you haven't seen this series, I believe there have only been two seasons.  We are watching it through netflix and once we finish this season up, I have to wait until the next is available on DVD. 

The premise behind the science involves hands, eyes, body language and the way people react to different questions and situations.  It is really interesting!!!  Jennifer Beals plays his ex-wife and the D.A.  I don't know any of the other actors, but a few have been in other series or shows.  Take a look at it!  It is worth a watch!!

I know this is a lousy review!  Sorry!

Love, L
