Paperclips

Watched: 9/30/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: Netflix-recommended by a Netflix friend
Opinion: What a way to get middle schoolers involved in learning. Imagine 6 million paperclips-one to represent one person that was affected by the Holocaust.

With: myself
Year: 2003
Reason for watching: exercise

Band of Brothers: Episode 6

Watched: 9/28/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Another great episode. Makes me feel like I'm actually there with the men as they try to survive. This episode is based in winter and the scenary-despite it being during a war-is stunning. Lots of graphic details-none of which probably come close to the real thing.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

House of Wax

Watched: 9/27/06
With: myself
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Well, I'm actually surprised that I enjoyed watching this. Luckily, Paris Hilton isn't the main character. It did take a while for the actually House of Wax to appear but once it did, the horror was on.
Watch again?: probably not
Recommend?: would depend

Band of Brothers: Episode 5

Watched: 9/27/06

Watched: 9/27/06

Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Lost: Season 2 (Episodes 9 and 10)

Watched: 9/26/06
With: Scott
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Scott's Netflix
Opinion: As Scott kept saying-This show is weird. I'm really enjoying how things are slowly being connected with each other and then leading to more questions. Takes a good set of writers to be able to accomplish that. So kudos to the writing staff.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Band of Brothers (Episode 4)

Leslie Sansone: The Walk Diet: 2 Miles

Watched: 9/25/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: Glad to see different people. Had forgotten that I had this DVD. I really think that Leslie does a much better job when she has others with her in her dvds-the cueing is better.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Watched: 9/24/06

Band of Brothers: Episode 3

Watched: 9/24/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix

Watch again?; yes

Lost: Season 2 (Episode 5)

Watched: 9/23/06
With: Scott
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Scott's Netflix
Opinion: Seemed to be some strange editing or something during this episode. Suddenly someone is willing to help out the outcasts even after yelling at one of them to move on. Just didn't make sense to me-maybe that was the point.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Band of Brothers: Episode 2

Watched: 9/22/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Boys have landed in Germany and are lost due to Germany attempting to take out their planes on the way in. Another round of great acting and just overall great cinematography.

Walk Away the Pounds Express: 2 Mile

Watched: 9/22/06
With: myself
Year: 2003
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: Not as great as a workout as some of her others ones but still fairly decent. I didn't work up a sweat-maybe because I'm outgrowing her tapes and need a little more challenge.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: maybe

Band of Brothers: Episode 1

Watched: 9/21/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Wow is David Schimmer an asshole in this role! But great acting! This is about a paratrooper regime during WW II. This episode focuses on these privates in basic camp. Some of the actors I recognize but can't remember their names. But, of course, I do recognize Donnie Wahlberg!
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: definitely

A&E's Serial Killers: Profiling the Criminal Mind: Volume 2: Jeffrey Dahmer

Watched: 9/20/06
With: myself
Year: 1993
Reason for watching: something to do before work
Opinion: I've always been a fan of forensic psychology and forensic profiling. Several times I can be found watching any of the A&E shows that focus on forensics. This is the first of any series that A&E produced that I bought. It contains 4 volumes-I watched the first volume several years ago and it's a general overview of forensic profiling. This volume focuses on Jeffrey Dahmer, his crimes, his conviction, etc.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Kathy Smith's Timesaver Cardio Fat Burner

Watched: 9/20/06
With: myself
Year: 1998
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: Just too perky for me this morning. Some good workouts that can have complicated footwork for beginners. Kathy Smith does some real good cueing and adds additional steps slowly to the workout and then goes over everything a few times in order to make sure that people get it.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: maybe

Garfield: The Movie

Watched: 9/19/06
With: Myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: something to do before I go to training
Opinion: I really enjoy this cute movie-of course being a Garfield fan helps. Garfield is set aside when Jon brings Odie home. A lot of the little quirks that are done throughout the comic strip come alive in the film.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Walk Away the Pounds for the Abs: 3 Mile Walk

Watched: 9/19/06

Lost: Season 2 (Episodes 1 & 2)

Watched: 9/16/06
With: Scott
Year: 2005
Reason for watching: Netflix, just love the series
Opinion: (I forgot to post this over the weekend) Well, season 2 picked up exactly where season 1 left off-which a lot of dramas are not able to do. I'm very curious to see where this ends up going and hopefully it will end up somewhere good and interesting.

Gilad's Quick Fit System: Shoulders and Arms

Watched: 9/18/06
With: Myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: I've decided to add some weight training/toning to my workout. This tape is very easy to follow and Gilad gives good pointers throughout reminding you of your position during the exercises. I'm sure that I'll be feeling the pain later on today and into tomorrow.
Watch again?: yes

Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Episode 22 and Bonus material)

Watched: 9/15/06

Invincible

Watched: 9/15/06
With: Scott
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: date night
Opinion: A great biography about a special teams player on Philadelphia Eagles. It was obvious that Mark Wahlberg did a lot of training for this film-he was in great shape. His protrayal of the simple South Philly Eagles fan (Papale) who went to the open tryouts of the Eagles was outstanding. This movie was different than your normal football movie-it focused more where the player was coming from instead of his interaction with the team. A great film.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: yes

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The First Year (Episode 21)

Watched: 9/15/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: It's starts off with a burning body and ends with a religious figment of people's imagination. Overall, an interesting storyline which is based on something that actually happened.

Weight Watchers: Walk at Home DVD: 30 minute Walk

Watched: 9/15/06
With: myself
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: I worked up a sweat and my heart rate was raised but I can see this DVD getting very boring, very quickly. Routines are repeated and it's extremely basic-which is great for people new to exercise-but for me, who I think is on an intermediate or advance level (especially when it comes to walking), it's going to get boring.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: yes-to people new to exercise or have a lot of weight to lose.

The L Word: Season 1 (Episode 14)

Watched: 9/14/06
With: myself
Year: 2004
Reason for watching: finish the disk, Netflix
Opinion: SLUTville. I think that one word sums up this episode-too many people sleeping with too many others. The aquarium was a nice backdrop however.
Watch again?: probably not

Gilad's Quick Fit System: Cardio Blast

Watched: 9/11/06
With: myself
Year: 2001
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: I had done Gilad when I still lived at my parents and watched him on ESPN. This is one of the Quick Fit System. It has 6 days of workouts (rest on Sunday). I haven't done this one in a while since I'm usually trying to get to work but it's a good workout. It incorporates aerobics and kickboxing. He builds up series slowly and combines them all together.
Watch again?: yes

Advanced 1-Mile Jog: Walk at Home with Leslie Sansone

Watched: 9/8/06
With: Myself
Year: 2006
Reason for watching: exercise
Opinion: One of her worst instructional tapes/dvds ever. It's just you and Leslie. When she is by herself, she doesn't do a great job of cueing the viewer. Also there was no real cooldown or stretch at the end. I was very disappointed in this.
Watch again?: knowing me, probably
Recommend?: no

The L Word: Season 1 (Episode 9)

Watched: 9/6/06
With: myself
