American Horror Story: Asylum!!

Did you watch last night, did ya? did ya? American Horror Story on FX is back!!! 


I loved  the first season of this show, it was creepy, scary, eerie and  sexy. Season two starts with a whole new plot line so if you didn't watch last year it doesn't matter. This year the show is taking place at  Briarcliff Manor, a state asylum in Boston.   As a Bostonian it is always interesting to see how the actors portray a Boston accent, and so far, I like it! The show has a few different plots lines that all intersect together mainly revolving around the new villain BLOODY FACE!! The cast includes: Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Zachary Quinto, Joseph Fiennes, Adam Levine, and Evan Peters.  


Kudos to Jessica Lange, she ROCKS on this show!! Srsly, look at her! 
Would you mess with her?? I don't think so!!


She plays Sister Jude, the administrator and disciplinarian head nun of the Asylum. She is mean and sadistic,  but has a softer side that includes caning the words of God into you. Yes, you heard me right, she has a CABINET of canes, all various shapes and sizes. You better behave if you are admitted to Briarcliff... or you have to deal with her!! -LD

Son-day!!! Sons of Anarchy tonight on FX!


Son-day, or, as the un-indoctrinated know it, Tuesday, is my favorite day of the week.  Sons of Anarchy is now into it's 5th season and so far has been incredibly intense and violent.  I'm not really a tattoos and leather kind of gal (not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that)..........


See?  Uh huh.

Now then, as I was saying, I'm not really a tattoos and leather kind of gal, but this show is so fabulous.  The cast is amazing (see previous picture), the writing is phenomenal and the story lines are so gripping (really!).  Kurt Sutter is the writer and has me hooked each week.  This season - and there have only been 5 episodes so far! - I have sobbed, been shocked, and have laughed so hard at some scenes.  It's great entertainment.  I make myself stay awake long enough to watch the entire thing and the previews for the next week, and I'm usually so wired from the intensity of it that I start to watch the second run that begins at 11.  Not an easy feat with a toddler running my world!

Also, there's these two ladies:



Maggie Siff and Katey Sagal. Amazing actresses.  The focus is not entirely on the MC (motorcycle club to you newbies).  These two have major story lines each week and give some of the most convincing and sincere performances I've ever seen.  Shame on whoever for not giving these two Emmy's this past year.  Love them.  Tune in tonight!

The Vampire Diaries Premiers Tonight!!!


The Vampire Diaries begins tonight!!!!!

I can't believe this day is finally here!  After a hasty and frantic few weeks to watch ALL 22 episodes of all three seasons - let's do some quick math, shall we? 22 x 3 = 66 - yes, we watched 66 episodes this summer in order to get caught up before tonight's premier.  You see, we were a little late to the game on the CW's fabulous guilty pleasure TVD so we made a mad dash to watch it all in one summer!  We did it with about a month to spare, and have been counting the days until it started back up.

Tonight we finally get to see Elena wake up and (or maybe not?) transition into Mystic Falls newest immortal!  As we've all seen from the previews, Elena needs to decide to complete the transition into a vampire by feeding, or she will die.  Oh what will she decide....death or eternity with Stefan and Damon fighting over her. Hmm. Tough call.  Tune in tonight at 8!


Yep....tough call.   Sure wouldn't want to be Elena.
