Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
I LOVE this show! Sarah Paulson was the only person nominated for a Golden Globe, which is a shame. The performances by Sarah Paulson, Matthew Perry and especially Amanda Peet are fabulous. I love the premise, and even though it's a "slice of life" about the "behind the scenes" of a Hollywood television show, it still has a great nostalgic and optimistic love for the magic of Tinsel Town. Keep this one on the air NBC! And give it a better time slot, why don't cha?

Few film-based works make me feel they should actually have been books, and this is one of them. That is the highest compliment I can give to any work of art. The story revolves around two gay friends, sex magnet Stuart and his self-effacing best friend Vince, who club their way around Manchester, with only their frequent party favours and thick Cockney accents to see them from one sexual encounter to the next. Then, 15-year old Nathan, Stuart's latest one-night stand, decides that Stuart is the love of his life, runs away from home and lands up at Vince's mother's. His aim? Reciprocity from Stuart, who is twice his age and only cares about bedding (or just folking?) every man in the UK (except Vince, who he is saving for old age). Along the way, we have a homophobic car dealer, Ottowan's "D.I.S.C.O" being recited at a funeral, innumerable Dr. Who references and some brilliantly written lines. Somewhere in all this is also the greatest love tale I have ever seen/heard/read. The series, by grace of its short tenure, is extremely taut, yet allows enough time for the excellent script and wonderful characters to take off. All of the cast is brilliant, but it is Aidan Gillen's selfish, fatally charming, actually-insecure Stuart who lodges the longest. Please watch this. Apparently it was considered "controversial" in the UK. So do an across-the-Atlantic translation as well.

Perhaps my FAVORITE show of them all. And that not just because Hugh Laurie is quite yummy... He's also a brilliant actor!

Angels in America is phenomenal! Set in the 80's the film (cable miniseries) is about the lives of several people living in New York who are affected, in various ways, by the AIDS epidemic. Funny, philosophical, tragic and at time... Angels in America is phenomenal! Set in the 80's the film (cable miniseries) is about the lives of several people living in New York who are affected, in various ways, by the AIDS epidemic. Funny, philosophical, tragic and at times, fantastical. Great performances from an ensemble cast including (Jeffrey Wright (Basquiat), Meryl Streep (A Cry in the Dark), Al Pacino (Scarface), Patrick Wilson (Little Children), Mary Louise Parker (Weeds) and Justin Kirk (Weeds).

Hilarious series from the UK about down and out, unfulfilled 20 somethings. From the creators of Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
