Slow and Go that is the tempo
This new take on the Michael Crichton novel rings the HBO show to a better futuristic reality that the old movie. There's drama and romance and all the stuff you would expect in a western themes virtual world to go out and play in. Some twists and turns along the way. I enjoyed watching the first season but it had some slow spots.

Upon my first introduction to the show, I was not impressed. The story in the first two episodes moved rather slow for my taste. Fast forward a couple months and I'm home sick for two days when HBO was gearing up for season four. I gave it another chance and never looked back! This show will thrill, chill, and, sometimes, kill you! It provides more action than many blockbuster movies and has a terrific storyline that will leave you anxious for Sundays and dreading the long break between seasons.

A very good cast star in this Hbo look at porn and prostitution in 70's New York. There are many aspects this covers from characters involved in organised crime, law enforcement, film, and the area of New York it's set in. In a way this is good and bad. There are too many characters and by the end of the series it's hard to see what the overall aim was. Other than a little snippet of the lives of the characters at that time. Overall though it was a decent series.

To watch or not to watch
If you currently have an HBO subscription then you need to add this to your watch list right away. It's not one of Mel Brooks bigger title films, but it should be as it's just as witty and funny. A remake of a 1940s film, it stays true to the classic with a touch of Brooks. A polish theater troupe in Warsaw use their love of the stage to fool the nazis and escape the ghetto. It's a farce in the truest form, and when this movie makes you laugh, you will be rolling.

HBO unlocked some content during this whole, dramatic time. I was glad they unlocked some documentaries. I've been wanting to watch this documentary, because I haven't gotten to see much on this case.
I liked that they showed the whole relationship, and not just the texts that hit the prosecution's theory of the crime. I think both of these people equally needed help, and were equal to blame. They both needed to be locked up in psych wards. She definitely failed to call 911, but the dude had jerked her around so much, how was she supposed to know that the threat was legit?
Anyway, I'm glad I got to see it.... for free.

Game of Thrones Series - Song of Ice and Fire
Great series! I read them all and want more!! Even with the TV show by HBO surpassing the whole series of novels, the books are great! I love the series and this is by far my second try at Fantasy. After Lord of the Rings series I wanted to try these since the Show was so awesome. The books help with the storylines especially knowing who's who in the game of thrones that they play. With the books you are able to understand the characters background and their back stories. I highly recommend the Game of Thrones for more "meat" on thee bones!
