The Week in Entertainment

DVD: The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming - I love this movie. I had forgotten the little things - like the Saint Bernard in the VW - which makes it even funnier than I remembered. Cellular - how did I never hear about this movie before? Got tipped to it by my friend who knows how much I like Chris Evans, and it's a rush.

TV: House - Taub certainly got a great line off at Hadley ("On the other hand, you are fairly screwed up" - ha! Snap - and so true). The Mentalist remains engaging. And Pushing Daisies (thank you, DVR - no choice to be made between my favorite show and Obama): so funny. "Aha. You think just because you dead, you ain't gonna tell us what you were up to. You are sooo wrong." Eleventh Hour - this was a very affecting episode, I thought.

Read: Remembering Hypatia (see here). The Black Path - Larsson is such a good writer that I had to devour this one as soon as it arrived.
