Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Episode 19)

Watched: 8/31/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: something to do before work
Opinion: Ah, yes, what NYC law show wouldn't be complete without a Russian episode? I'm just happy that Kathryn Erbe's character has been developing more and more. Vincent D'onofrio's character still needs some major therapy!

Tamilee Webb's Tighter Assets: Cardio Blast

Watched: 8/31/06
With: myself
Year: 2002
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: One of my better DVDs that I just don't do. I figured that I need to vary up my exercises and see if that, along with my watching what I eat, helps me lose weight. Another good exercise day-heart rate up with the cardio blasts that Tamilee adds to the routines.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 18)

Watched: 8/30/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix, something to watch before work
Opinion: This is one of the episodes that I have seen a few times, thanks to all of the syndication. Burning victims. Money is usually the root of all evil.

Walk Away the Pounds: Walk and Jog

Watched: 8/30/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001

Weight Watchers: Moderate Intensity

Watched: 8/28/06
With: Myself
Year: 2003
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: a good DVD that promotes circuit training led by Nancy Jo Papp with WW members. I figured that since I rejoined yesterday, I should at least do their exercise dvd. I sweated more than I usally did so I take that as a positive sign.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Silent Hill

Watched: 8/27/06
With: myself
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: on Scott's Netflix list-allows him to watch it whenever (usually after I go to bed)
Opinion: Suspenseful. Music certainly adds to the thriller. Interesting concept since many haunted places and ghosts hunting has been becoming popular.
Watch again?: maybe
Recommend?: maybe

The Descent

Watched: 8/26/06
With: Scott
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: This was a back-up movie in case we couldn't catch our first choice
Opinion: Great concept. Just the idea of going into an unknown cave system can be scary enough, let alone the extras that were in the movie. I can appreciate the relationship between 3 of the 6 women. The 3 were just there to be there. The special effects were okay.
Watch again?: probably not
Recommend?: maybe

Walk Away the Pounds: 1 Mile

Watched: 8/25/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: Even though I'm still not feeling 100%, I felt like I had to do something exercise-wise so this was a good choice-short and still a decent workout.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episodes 13-16)

Watched: 8/24/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix, home sick
Opinion: It started with the little rich girl and her father's death. Then a kidnapped family. Next up, the death of the judge's mistress. And finally, the murder of a Sing Sing prisoner who had just been released. Lots of crime. Lots of detective work.

9/11

Watched: 8/23/06
With: Myself
Year: 2002
Reason for watching: Netflix, lived through it
Opinion: Wow. Made me even more realize how lucky I was that someone/something was watching over me a couple of weeks before this happened and I had resigned from my job that was 3 blocks away from the World Trade Center. If I had been there on September 11, I don't know if I would be sitting here right now. An outstanding documentary.
Watch again?: I really don't know.
Recommend?: yes

The L Word: Season 1 (Episode 8)

Watched: 8/23/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: netflix, do something before heading into work
Opinion: Intervention time. Done in a very hilarious way for the couple expecting the baby-God forbid they settle down and become "bored." I'm finding that the more I watch, the more I'm enjoying it. Not as great as Sex and the City in my opinion but maybe that's because I'm an East Coaster.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: maybe

Walk Away the Pounds: Yoga Walk

Watched: 8/23/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: This tape is a combination of a very brisk 1 mile walk and about 15 minutes of simple yoga. I haven't done this one in a while and felt the need to stretch so that's why I chose it. It can be done in under a half hour unlike a lot of other yoga tapes/dvds and it has an aerobic component to it.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

The L Word: Season 1 (Episode 7)

Watched: 8/22/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: This episode seems like it was set in surreal mode. Especially with obnoxious girlfriend of the sperm donor. Lots of drug involvement also in this episode which adds to the surrealism.
Watch again?: not sure

Watched: 8/22/06

The L Word: Season 1 (Episodes 5 and 6)

Watched: 8/21/06
With: kinda with Scott
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: vacation, Netflix

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episodes 10-12)

Watched: 8/21/06
With: kinda with Scott
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: still on vacation, Netflix
Opinion: Vincent D'Onofrio's character wasn't as annoying in these episodes but he still had his moments. It was nice seeing different actors hopping in for guest spots (i.e. Michael Gross as the murdering psychiatrist).

With: myself
Year: 202
Reason for watching: Netflix

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episodes 7 & 8)

Watched: 8/13/06

Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: 2 more good episodes-Kathryn Erbe's character seems to be little more than a sidekick more and more as the series progresses.

The L Word: Season 1 (Episode 3 and 4)

Watched: 8/12/06

Year: 2004

Othello

Watched: 8/11/06
With: Scott
Year: 1995
Reason for watching: on Scott's Netflix list and we both like Shakespeare
Opinion: This is the version with Lawrence Fishburn as Othello. A compelling acting job by all of the main actors-especially by Kenneth Branagh. One of the better versions of a Shakespeare play/movie that I have seen.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: yes

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 6)

Watched: 8/11/06
With: Myself

Walk Away the Pounds: 1 Mile

Watched: 8/10/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: Since I'm still tired from the concert the other night and still wanting to get some sort of exercise in, I decided to do this shorter workout (20 minutes). As with most of Sansone's other videos, I just enjoy it.

Recommend?: yes

The L Word: Season 1 (Pilot)

Watched: 8/9/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: I have heard lots of good things about this Showtime series so I thought that I would get it through Netflix.
Opinion: Well, lots of sex. Sex, sex, sex. Lesbian and straight sex. Have I mentioned sex. I had heard that it was supposed to be similar to Sex and The City but I see it only as remotely similar-solid female friendships but other than that...this one has a lot more sex. Sex. Sex. And more sex.
Watch again?: too early to tell
Recommend?: maybe

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 5)

Watched: 8/8/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix and needing to do something before work
Opinion: Sex and murder sometimes goes hand in hand. This episode is called Jones and it's another good episode despite Det. Goran's knowing of everything can really grate on my nerves.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: yes

Walk Away the Pounds for Abs: 3 Mile

Watched: 8/8/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: I did about 1.5 miles of this tape until the tape decided that it didn't want to work anymore so I guess it really is time for me to get the dvds of my exercise tapes. What I enjoy about Sansone's tapes is that that you can do whatever miles you want to do. She updates how far along with you so it's easy to fast forward to a different mile if needed.
Watch againg?: yes

Robot Chicken: Season 1

Watched: 8/6/06
With: Scott
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: Scott put it in the DVD player and I didn't feel like leaving the room
Opinion: Some very funny cartoons/animation with toys and clay. It's a collection of cartoons from Adult Swim series of Robot Chicken. I laughed inside mostly as Scott laughed outside.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: maybe

11:14

Watched: 8/6/06
With: Scott
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: on Scott's Netflix list
Opinion: Somewhat interesting movie about how a whole bunch of stuff happens at exactly 11:14pm and how those things interact with each other. Hilary Swank is in the movie along with being an executive producer which I think is kinda strange. I would think that she wouldn't put up money for a movie that was not that great.
Watch again?: probably not
Recomment?: only for true Hilary Swank fans

The Monkees: Season 1

Watched: 8/6/06
With: Myself
Year: 1967
Reason for watching: Always been a big Monkees fan.
Opinion: I decided to watch the 2 special feature commentaries that were done by Davy Jones and Peter Tork on the first DVD for the first 6 episodes of the first season. I find it always interesting to hear the actually actors comments about the scenes. Davy and Peter did not prove me wrong with their commentaries.

Blow

Watched: 8/5/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 3)

Watched: 8/3/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix, love Law & Order
Opinion: Great way of capturing the viewer. Something that the 2 previous had not done. "Smothered" was based on an actual case. I kind of remember seeing this one before but don't remember the whodunit.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 2)

Watched: 8/2/06

Watched: 8/1/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix, love the Law & Order shows
Opinion: Considering I really don't like Vincent D'Onofrio's character style in this series of Law & Order. I still find them fascinating to watch. This episode, appropriately named, "One," is a good debut episode. It shows how it's different than the other Law & Order shows.

Walk Away the Pounds Express: 2 Mile

Watched: 8/1/06
With: myself
Year: 2003
