You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." -- Abraham Lincoln
I have this indescribable love/hate relationship with politics. It mostly sickens me. Yet I can't at times shut up about it. I suppose that's driven largely by the sickening factor. Today it's partly due to a fear factor.
The premise is an old WWII ship is recommissioned for use as a floating interrogation center by the US forces during modern day anti-terrorist campaigns. Suddenly it's discovered most everyone aboard was brutally slain and the black ops version of NCIS is sent in to investigate. One of the stars in this is Lance Henrikson who had a brief 3 season run in the FOX series Millennium and I like pretty well. In spite of the potentially interesting plot and Lance, this is not a great movie. It tries to be an X files like scary haunted movie but fails miserably. Nothing about it is stellar and I'd say it's an ok watch on a rainy Sunday on TV.
The premise: a young man inherits almost nothing from his father except for membership in a southern secret society founded during the Civil War. And it turns out to be more than meets the eye.
I am basically the king of cheap wine. No not Boones Farm, but wines that come in a bottle with a real cork in the end. While I don't have much money to spend on wine, I still like some body to it.
Last night PBS showed what is apparently an old documentary on Johnny Cash. I'm so not a country fan, but being a musician I've always appreciated him and his influence on music today. I really enjoyed seeing this inside perspective that followed he and wife June on what had to be a very early tour in his career which had him stopping at a childhood home, visiting his parents, and doing a show at a prison. If it plays again you might consider catching it.
