"Political Animals"

I am Love-Love-LOVING

the new Sunday night Limited Series Event on

the USA Network, "Political Animals."

It boasts a sickeningly superb cast,

headlining Sigourney Weaver, Ellen Burstyn,

Ciaran Hinds, Carla Gugino, and more. 

There's also an obnoxiously high 'Hot Man'

ratio (all brilliant actors, as well, I might add)

including Adrian Pasdar, Roger Bart,

Sebastian Stan,  Dan Futterman,

and the oh-so-dreamy

James Wolk.

It's got the drama/soap opera bit down,

the political snip-fest (a la West Wing)

down, there are some funny parts, and it is

a Very robustly raucous, rude, risque, over-the-top

show filled with sensationalism and brass tax.

(Did I mention how much I love it!?)

Enjoy the avalanche of 'similarities' between the

Clintons and the fictional Barrishes!

Sassy done right, every Sunday at 10 p.m.,

Lie Down With Dogs (1995)

"Lie Down With Dogs" is a sweet, quirky, smaller film about a
rather 'plain' (i.e. identifiable) gay man's quest for love and hook-ups
in the Nineties. It's cute, charming, fun, and compelling in its
earnestness and explorations. The main character is pretty obviously
damaged goods, despite his semi-good-natured attitude.


Good cast, not too heavy, some excellent dialogue and unique
situations. Good for a break from the dire and the overly profound.
