New shows and new music

So there is a new TV shows that have me totally hooked, Rizzoli & Isles. If you haven't seen it then check it out because you will not be disappointed.
Rizzoli & Isles is based on series of book by Tess Gerristen, as soon as I watched the pilot episode I went out the next day and brought the first book and I cannot put it down. The series stars Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Harmon played tough Boston detective Jane Rizzoli and Alexander plays Dr Maura Isle a Boston medical examiner. Although both character's are completely different the chemistry between them is fab they just seem to click. Also it helps that it stars the eye candy Jordan Bridges who plays Rizzoli's younger brother Frankie who just graduated from the police academy.
It shows on Alibi Tuesday's 9pm (UK)



Music I can't stop listening to:
  • Does anybody hear her - Casting Crow
  • I wish that I could see you soon - Herman Dune
  • Trophy - Bat for Lashes
  • Unbeautiful - Lesley Roy
  • Fall in to me - Sugarland
  • Breathe - Superchick
  • Just a kiss - Lady Antebellum
  • For Good - Indina Menzel & Kristen Chenoweth
  • What you want - Evanescence
  • I'll wait for you - Joe Nichols
Upcoming Events

Excitement

So Disney is just around the corner and to say I am excited is an understatement, I seriously can not wait. I am still not to sure what to pack as the Internet shows rain and thunderstorms while I am out there so I keep packing and unpacking.
I haven't really done much this week apart from work and spend time with my family in the evenings, but yesterday I did go round my very good friends who cooked me a fab dinner and we finally managed to have a good old catch up and gossip which we have not really had time to do lately.


Films and TV
So it has come that time of year when all the shows I am watching seem to be coming to the end of their season. My two favourite shows CSI season 11 and Criminal Mind series 6 have finished and they are going to leave my weeks boring. Also Rookie Blue has finished Fairly Legal has one more episode to go and that is finished so I am only left with Hot in Cleveland and Chicago Code which has only just started and it has me hooked.
It is a new Police drama with Jennifer Beals as the first female superintendent of Chicago PD she gets together an unofficial task force to deal with the political corruption within Chicago. Check it out but if you get to hooked on it don't get excited for a second series because I have just seen that Fox announced on May 10th that they would no be making a second series.



Films I have seen this week are Tamara Drew and Morning Glory. Now Tamara Drew was a real disappointment I was really looking forward to watching this but when I did I found it really slow and boring, it lacked a real storyline and just seemed pointless.


Morning Glory however does not disappoint it is a funny feel good film that leaves you feeling that anything is possible. It stars Rachel McAdam who I must say I think she is a awesome actress who I can say I love all her films. She plays a young woman Becky Fuller who is completely devoted to her job and when she thinks she is getting a promotion she get laid off but it lands her a job with the morning show Daybreak as a producer. She battles with her co workers to get the ratings up to save the show but she hit hurdles at ever corner she takes especially when she hires Harrison Ford character Mike Pomeroy as her new anchor and he is a arrogant reporter who thinks he is better then everyone else and refuses to do day time stories that are not real news. Throughout the film Becky goes against all odds and brings the ratings up and smashes through Mikes tough exterior. It is an all round good film and a must see

Let the fun times begin!!!!

I am on holiday now for the next nine days. I haven't got much planned but am looking forward to relaxing with my family. Also I need to get packed and sorted for my Disneyland mini holiday which is fast approaching.


The music I can't stop listening to is Ed Sheeran EP You need me, it is amazing. If you haven't heard it check it out you won't be disappointed


And finally Temple cloud - One big family (which is featured on the KFC advert) again if you haven't heard it check it out, it is one of them songs that you can just listen to over and over and can't resist singing along with.

TV to check out
Now when I joined Lovefilm I rented out the Point Pleasant boxset, now I know it is quite an old series however I never had chance to watch it. But now I have had chance each episode has had me more and more hooked. It was originally aired in 2005 staring Elisabeth Harnois and the hotness Sam Page. Elisabeth Harnois plays Christina the daughter of Satan, she washes up on the beach at Point Pleasant being rescued by Jesse (Sam Page). Jesse and Christina are drawn together and fall in love believing it is their destiny to be together however they soon discover that they are destined but not to be together Jesse' destiny is to kill Christina and Christina's is to unleash hell on earth.
But when I got to the final episode and it ended I was sad for it to be finished and find out that it was originally cancelled and not due to ever make any more. I can never understand when you get a good series and then it gets cancelled and you get left with an open ending. It is the same for series like Firefly, Lost world and Hex I really got into them and wasted my time watching them to only be disappointed by an ending cut short and loads of questions unanswered. OK so rant over, check it out if you haven't seen it, even though it has a not so great ending there are some fantastic episodes throughout the series
