Nashville

TV show This show has had the run around! I think it started on ABC then they cancelled it, then CMT picked it up. I also feel like it had random runs, like they would play 10 episodes then it would be off for months then they would play 10 more randomly. But that could be just because they didn't follow the typical fall/spring season. Not only did this show probably make careers, it helped Connie Britton, Hayden Panettierre, and Oliver Hudson's careers. Connie and Oliver got staring roles pretty quickly after leaving the show but Hayden outlasted them both so we don't know what will happen with her. Maddie and Daphne were found on Youtube too. That's cool and they really are sisters and they really sing good too. I loved this show mostly because of the original music. They had to have real Nashville songwriters helping with the show and the music. It seemed like all the stories that I've heard from real musicians. I would suggest that everyone who likes music

Dexter

TV show Showtime is very creative. I have wanted to watch this show for a long time but never got around to it. I finally did and was hooked from the 2nd episode ( I know better than to go by the pilot.) The characters work so good together and Dexter is relatable and insane at the same time. It is a cop show and a murder mystery all in one and I loved it. It is one of those shows that can be watched episodic or at random and it works either way. There are a lot of people from other shows but no real big names. Angel was on the Following with Sam Underworld and Quinn was on Gossip Girl. Deb is a pretty big name but I can't think of what else she's been on right now. I've never seen Dexter before but now he is on a Netflix show that we'll get around to watching. The show was on Showtime so it swears a lot and shows naked people. So if you are opposed to that then don't watch Dexter. If you don't care about that then watch and love.

Murder on the Orient Express

Movie Cast of characters! but pretty slow moving. It should have been really good but I lost interest half way through, and when he actually solved the case I didn't understand it. I don't do good with movies that involve too much thinking. I hated Inception because it was hard to follow the story and I got confused. I love Agatha Christie though, I think I read books to think but watch movies to forget. I never read this case and I was more in to Miss Marple anyway. This movie has Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Daisy Ridley, Leslie Odom Jr, Josh Gad, Michelle Pfeiffer,  and Johnny Depp. So many fantastic actors and they did fantastic. But I still wasn't interested and I didn't know who Hercule was played by so I was a little annoyed by that... This was a big deal movie and I have a lot of friends who loved it but I didn't. But like I said I don't like movies like this because it moves too slow for my taste. But if you like thought provoking movi

Hobbies- Fitness

I'm trying something new because we should always be growing an learning. So I decided I'm going to try to do something like this once a month about. This month is fitness because it just kind of happened. So I decided that I was going to do a 2 week challenge that I found on pinterest. It was 5 moves to reduce inner thigh fat. They were pretty easy moves but I needed something that I knew I could do every day. The day I started my friend Steph, also challenged me to a 10 day pilates challenge. Pilates didn't start until Monday though and I started the leg challenge on Friday. But I decided I could do both. So Friday morning and evening I did the leg thing. Then again Saturday and Sunday mornings and after that I did pilates in the morning and leg challenge at night every day. Ok I missed one morning but so I was 1 day behind the last 3 days. But I finished Pilates on Thursday and finished legs on Friday. I would like to say that it made my day go better, but I didn&#

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Movie Chris Pratt is one of my favorite actors right now. But I wasn't a fan of the last Jurassic World because it had already been done. Although Jimmy Fallon and Jake Johnson were fun cameos. And Jeff Goldblum gave it some credibility. But this is about the sequel. Bryce Dallas Howard made a come back in the sequel. In the first one she was so uptight and boring but this one she was more real. It made me think that maybe in the next one her and Chris Pratt will still be together. Sorry, that was kind of a spoiler and I try to avoid those but this one is okay I think. The dinosaurs are beautiful and magnificent! In my opinion, that is a good enough reason to watch the movie. I think Dax Shepard said on his podcast that he would like to just watch a movie with only the dinosaurs and no humans. I agree with that. The human storylines are what ruins the movies. All of them really. There was a weird twist to do with humans that I didn't see coming but in reality it didn't

Scandal

TV show I started watching Scandal when it first started. It's another Shonda Rhimes show. Olivia Pope was the ultimate boss lady who controlled everything. Plus DC shows are really popular these days and its hard to believe that anyone can really be like that. Scandal was the first show that I watched that was about government in that aspect too. There are 7 seasons and I surprisingly forgot to watch the 7th season. I quickly realized it when the final season started getting announced on Netflix. I added it to my list and finally watched it in 2 days. I was obsessed. There were a lot of less popular/ no name actors on the show but I'm sure they will all be very popular now. Tony Goldwyn and Scott Foley are the biggest names and I still only think of them as President Fitz and Jake Ballard. Kerry Washington and Jeff Foley have had a lot of medium roles on TV shows but this was obviously their breakout. Everyone else did such a fantastic job too. I would fully recommend wa
