The Reader is out on DVD tomorrow, and Frost/Nixon is out next Tuesday. Then I will have all of the 2008 films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar! I picked up Doubt and Slumdog Millionaire last week.
I don't think I'll get to the movie theater again until Star Trek opens in May! If I have time, I'll go see Monsters vs. Aliens this weekend.

Just a cute screen capture!
From the second episode of All the Small Things...Jake, the cutest curate in the history of the Church of England!
I am really liking this show.

Episode 2...
...of All the Small Things. This one had a lot more of Bryan Dick in it! Jake is an interesting character, and I can't wait to see what's coming. What in his past does Layla hold over him, and why can't she let go (even though she's sleeping with someone else)? He seems to be a kind, compassionate man who really wants to make a difference. And no matter what mistakes he made in his past (Layla?), he's determined to overcome them.
Loved that Esther finally stood up for herself, and started a new choir. Michael is a dick. I'd love to see her finally divorce him. Maybe then he'd grow up a bit.
Next week, Esther and Jake seem to flirt. Hmmmm....well, if her husband can mess around with a younger woman, why can't she have a younger man? A man of the cloth! Rrrrrrowwwwwrrr!
The show is a little uncomfortable for me at times. There are people like the awful, bigotted Mr. and Mrs. Tonks in my church (there's a Mrs. Tonks in my choir, unfortunately), and the whole thing of forcing people who can't sing out of the choir is something my own choir has had to deal with. Not that we'd ever do that, but we'd encourage the not-so-good singers to work on it and sing whatever is easiest for them.

Well, I'll miss Kutner...
...but Kal Penn has a cool new job at the White House! Details at Entertainment Weekly:

I still think that was a crappy end for Kutner. But it will make things interesting for the rest of House's season.

House: Simple Explanation; and other notes.
Oh, man, I can't believe what happened tonight. KUTNER! He killed himself. :( That came from nowhere. And House can't figure it out. This is going to make for some good drama the rest of the season.
Didn't care much for the Patients of the Week, though one was played by Meatloaf!
I'll miss Kal Penn. He never does seem to stick around long on television!
On 24 tonight, Jack begins to suffer the effects of the "mad cow-type" bio weapon he was exposed to. "Drop the gun mooooo! I mean, now!"
Other T.V. notes- I have seen the first episode of All the Small Things. Not bad. Not great, but entertaining, and I'll stick with it for the six episodes. And of course, Bryan Dick is awesome. I can't wait to see what his character, the rogue curate Jake, is all about. But wow, he looks good:
More please!
Hmmm, the current season of House isn't even finished, but the DVD set is available for pre-order already! That cover art seems so wrong.
Oh, yeah. ER ended its fifteen-season run last week. Did I watch? Nope. It had its great moments, but the last few seasons were such a mixed bag that it was hard for me to care. I'll catch the finale in re-runs.

Holy crap!
Guiding Light is going off the air in September, after 72 years! Wow. The oldest of all the soap operas (along with As the World Turns) was cancelled. I guess soaps are dying, if even the old reliables are going down. Days of Our Lives is leaving the air, too, I think.
http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/04/guiding-light-d.html
My mom and sister liked GL and ATWT, I was more into DOOL in college. I never watch soaps anymore. But still, it's sad to see one of the giants leave the air- it's almost like Pan Am going bankrupt (or any other big company that seemed to be around forever).

Why I wish I lived in the UK...
I wouldn't have to wait for British television shows to air on PBS. Bryan Dick just did an episode of Lewis- and it won't air in the U.S. until 2010. (Fortunately, I do have other sources. *evil grin*)
*sigh* He's gorgeous in this still from the episode "The Quality of Mercy". And he has this long hair in All the Small Things, too, I hear!
Other T.V. stuff- 24 and House were both great on Monday. The House episode "Locked In" was one of the best of the season. Mos Def was the Patient of the Week, and he was fabulous.
