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

In Honor of the Oscars - Netflix suggestions

Okay so we don't have cable and I get everything we watch either from Netflix or if Blockbuster Kiosk is working and they have a weekend deal, then we will do that, but this morning I organized our list on Netflix. 
We get two movies, and then we get two DVDs of our favorite series from television.  I love the previews and the inside page on the DVDs we get from Netflix.  Most of the time, it is something that is due out on the inside page and if it looks good we will add it to our queue.  I currently have 87 things in our queue.  We are almost done with the series Lie to Me for the season three, Terminator:  The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be over soon, and there isn't another season on that one.  We still have plenty NCIS and Criminal minds, and we have a few new series we are checking out, like Damages, Second Sight, The Remake series of the Nightstalker, and a couple of older series like Warehouse 13, and Witchblade the entire series on 8 discs I believe.  So now I have to find some new movies to add to our list so that I can complete the organization. 

So here is what we like and we are looking for suggestions.  Sci-Fi, Thrillers, Movies based on History, Westerns ( don't laugh), Some Horror but nothing like Jason, or Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream or any of those.  I like psychological movie thrillers too!  Norman likes things like the Red Baron, Defiance, etc.  I'm not into watching Nazi movies so please don't suggest Valkyrie or Inglorious Bastards.  I don't like Brad Pitt, but love Matt Damon and Mark Walhberg.  Don't really like Tom Cruise, but George Clooney is okay.  Excellent specimen actors such as Liam Neeson, Christian Bale, and Gerard Butler are okay as well as Colin Farrel. 

Please post a comment with a suggestion.  Have a great day! 

PS if you have any suggestions for TV Series that we might like, please post a comment! 

Review of "Damages"

My husband and I do not have cable or any kind of regular television that we can get, so we watch series from television through Netflix.  One of our regular shows, season three is not out, so we looked for something new based on our preferences.  What turned up?  A show called Damages.  It stars Glen Close, Ted Danson, and some others that their faces look familiar, but I don't know their names.  Any way we watched the pilot that launched the show last night. 

Glen Close is a big time attorney, and will do just about anything to win her cases.  She is ruthless, cutthroat and hard nosed.  I'm still trying to decide if I like the show or not.  It definitely caught my interest.  Would love to hear back from anyone who has watched the show.  I think it came out on like Starz, or HBO, or Showtime.  I don't remember seeing it on regular television or cable.

Have a great day!
