This Week in TV/ Movies [0322-0328]

Okay! Finally I am able to fulfill my task of actually doing a TWIT/M post! :D This isn't really a movie review post but rather a suggestive one. I, being such a fan of the TV and the big screen, I think it's fun to share some of my fancies.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK: The Invention of Lying



A production of Ricky Gervais and of course, starring himself. Movie goes about the life of Mark Bellison, living in a world where no one lies. Until Mark discovered making up stories to comfort his mother from dying in vain. From there he constructed lies here and there and soon making up the story of the man in sky sky who is similar to God in our terms. The movie even had a Moses-like event, where he wrote into stone slabs pizza boxes his made-up commandments. The part where he consoled his mother, got the waterworks running. And it's a plus that's Tina Fey is on the movie, although a very minor role, but still -- because I just simply love her. :) There wasn't too much comedy and I think the latter part kind of become dragging at some point. Overall, it's still a good movie.

TV PICK OF THE WEEK: The Mentalist

Need I say more? This show is becoming a favorite! I'm almost done with the first season and I'm definitely proceeding to season two! I don't want to indulge more because I'd prefer that you go give this show a shot. It got me entertained really, but not enough to replace NCIS though. :P If you're into crime/ detective shows with a bit of psychic hint to it, then The Mentalist is a good addition to your list. It's like Psych, only on a more serious note. And I am sort of developing a mild crush over Patrick Jane, whose name I already find fancy. I'm also rooting for the Van Pelt-Rigsby, ♥ ♥ ♥!
