Hostages -

I guess this can be seen as a bit of a realistic modern horror situation. But it has the potential of becoming a comedy of sorts. As without spoiling it, almost every member of the all American type family that lives in the suburbs has secrets that will put a wrench in the works of the hostage taker. Who makes a point to know everything but he really doesn't. Yet Dylan McDermott probably will be the best part of the show if it lasts. Eventually he'll start shouting at people and stuff.


Face Off TV -

I won't watch this "show" again. The Elvira teaser commercial and a few reviews here got me to watch. And it was an Elvira tease. She was only there for a few minutes. I don't like "reality" shows. I don't get why they are still on and people watch them. They are all the same. A group of people show up for money. They are always engaged in some sort of competition. And someone gets voted off sometimes via backstabbing. Other times through "professional consideration." Which is just as bad because the professionals are saying basically you suck but don't take it the wrong way. Like in this show. And you can't really judge pure creativity not based off previous works.

Guessed who it was based on a couple storytelling standards. Mostly the clear idea that the one detective was too close to the suspects and a particular scene early on where that character was too happy and normal compared to the rest of towns overall demeanor. That set my suspicions.

I actually find FaceOff as a great tool. I let my young boys watch it so that they understand that scary movie monsters aren't real AND it encourages imagination. I also happen to have met a couple of the artists (they did some zombie make up for us at E3 this past year for Dead Rising 3 stunt) and so I get some extra enjoyment seeing a friend on TV.

Breaking bad

This show ended disappointingly mild.

I know it's really good, I was really skeptical about it at first but they've really come up with a cool new take on fairy tales. Plus I have the biggest crush on Rumplestiltskin so as long as he's on there and they don't turn him into a wuss (like they tend to do with villain types when they start working on trying to be good) then I'll keep watching it.
