I've decided that Bravo has the best shows. Officially. I watched the Platinum Hit series premier last night, and honestly I didn't expect it to be that good but...It's pretty amazing. Usually I don't really have time to follow shows on tv. I actually spend most of my free time catching up on shows on HULU. Unfortunately, Bravo doesn't have a place to view full episodes on their website. I might actually have to make an effort to keep up with this show. It's a little like American Idol except 100% better and not lame at all.
All the "Real Housewives" series' are addictive. I mean it's a bunch of older women, (mothers even) gossiping and starting drama with each other and half the time you want to scream at the tv "grow the *%$# up!". Honestly there are a lot of shows out there involving "wives" or something like that. Basketball Wives is a pretty good show, but most of these Real Housewives knock offs are no better than Jerry Springer. This is what our generation enjoys. We don't watch the typical soaps. Instead we watch Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. I love those shows. I used to love a lot of the other shows on Abc.com but now they're cancelling my shows. Like I recently heard "Brothers and Sisters" had been cancelled. I'm sure "Desperate Housewives" is next. I wouldn't mind so much if they were bringing better shows to replace them, but the shows they're bringing in do not look promising at all.
...RIP...
At any rate, I find myself into foreign films more and more. Especially French and British movies. My all time favorite French actress is Audrey Tatou.
I absolutely love her. She's most famous for her movie Amélie. She also played the female lead in "The DaVinci Code". I love her because she is an edgy, quirky type but she's also a classic beauty. I think I've watched all her movies available on instant play by Netflix. My favorite of them, besides Amélie of course, which is a classic, would have to be "Priceless" or "Hors de Prix". It's witty, romantic, probably the best romantic comedy I've seen in a while. Definitely worth checking out. It's one of the few movies I gave 5 stars on Netflix.

I've recently been really into 17th and 18th century british films lately. I had no idea, because I've never read any of her books, but I'm a fan of Jane Austen. I've watched BBC adaptations of all her novels and I've enjoyed all of them. My favorite movie/book would probably be a tie between "Pride and Prejudice", and "Emma". I think I've watched the most recent version of "Pride and Prejudice" (with Keira Knightley, another favorite actress of mine) about 50 times. I used to have it on my iPod, but I recently wiped all the songs on there and I tried to put it back on there, but it wouldn't recognize it. I didn't buy it from iTunes though (because they are crazy with those prices). That's probably why. Those Jerks...
Keira Knigtley is another classic beauty.
The scenery from these films are amazing. They make me wanna get rich and buy an old mansion tucked away somewhere in Scotland. Can you imagine? "Hey, what are you doing this summer?" "Oh, probably just visiting my summer MANSION in Scotland. You?" That would be so epic. I think it's my new goal.
