Here is an addition to my list of best family films that I just saw. I just got Nanny McPhee from Netflix and watched it, and went and got it from the video store. I know most movies I talk about are action, or violent, but this was an extrordinary movie, all that I watch family movies for. Predictable, but that isnt always bad- sometimes its a welcome change. You can just sit back and enjoy it, knowing they will all live happily ever after. This one was one of the best.

Ok, here is a kind of report card on summer shows- some I mentioned before and at least one i missed then.

The Closer- better than ever in season two. I loved the short arc with her Mom.

Hell's Kitchen- also better this time around. More conflict between the potential chefs to make it even more fun to watch.

Monk- just premiered, but the season premiere was great.

Saved- I didnt make it through the first episode. Not my bag.

ECW- some great matches, but how about some new storylines, guys!

TNA Wrestling- still better than WWE.

The one new show I missed before that had a great premiere. it was "Psyche". It is on after Monk on fridays, and is a perfect match. Picture House as a detective pretending to be a Psychic. I laughed and laughed.

Again, if I have missed something, let me know.

Ok, in the last two days, Ive seen both movies. I can say with no question, if youre gonna see one, see Pirates. Superman Returns at least wasnt as bad as 3 or 4, which were truly awful, but didnt match up to one or two. It had some great characters, and some interesting story lines, but in the end didnt live up to the potential. and, Kevin Spacey as a very cartoonish Lex Luther left me wishing for the Smallville version. But, on the other hand, Pirates was great from start to finish. it lived up to the hype, and left you gasping for more. it managed to be as good as the first one by keeping the same things that worked but with a lot of new twists, and a shock ending that will leave us all breathlessly awaiting pt.3 next Memorial Day. Be ready to deal with crowds, though- I was in a theatre that isnt usually packed, but it had sold out in advance due to Fandango (im glad i use it). Definitly a must see. I wont even try to pick a favorite between it and X-Men Last Stand.
