Here's a new weekly feature that is really not much more than a helpful reminder of how I spend huge chunks of my time. In my defense, most of these programs are watched while working out, except of course when I go to the movies! Hopefully these lists will turn you on to something you haven't heard of, let you what to skip or convince you to give something a shot.
For the week ending 1/7/11 (in no particular order):
“Wipeout” The winter edition is just as much mindless fun as the summer version.
“Modern Family” and “Cougar Town” Two of the few sitcoms I watch—great casts and writing.
“Road to Perdition” This is a very good movie that I can’t believe I haven’t seen before. Seems like the blueprint for HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” which I also really like.
“Katy Perry E! Special” This one was for my wife and daughter, although I am a fan of her music (and look).
“Paris Je T’aime” Great movie for those not afraid of subtitles—so much better than “New York, I Love You.”
“V” – 2nd season premiere: better than any episode from the first season.
“Lakers vs. Suns” 3D – eye popping visuals thanks to ESPN 3D
“Primeval” Season 1 – The FX are cheesy, but Dinos in contemporary London is a lot of fun.
“The King’s Speech” I’m a history buff, so this was one of my favorites of the year.
“Monica and David” Amazing documentary—must see!
“Sins of My Father” Very well done documentary about Pablo Escobar’s son reaching out to the sons of the politicians Escobar killed.
“Black Swan” One of my favorite movies of the year. This is more of a horror film than it is a ballet one.
