Synopsis: Dexter has to deal with Rita’s death and his guilty conscience while some in the police department suspect him as the killer.

TV: Week of September 21

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 5:10 pm

Fall TV Season is upon us. Even though quite a few shows got an early start this month, this week is the official season premiere week. Beware, this post will be huge!

Season Finales: Top Gear, Warehouse 13

Pick of the Week

Dexter
Channel: SHO
Time: 9/8c
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Velez, David Zayas, James Remar
Premieres: Sunday, September 27
Trailer

Synopsis: Dexter got married and found out he had a kid on the way. Can a serial killer really have the perfect life? This season also stars a very successful serial killer for Dexter to admire, played by John Lithgow.

My Take: I keep wondering how long the show can last before it’ll burn itself out since he can’t keep killing forever, can he? But I’ll continue to watch it as it continues to be so very excellent.

Movies Opening March 6

Category: 2009 Movies,Movies,Openingvelveetahead @ 7:08 pm

No one wanted to compete with Watchmen this weekend so it is the only major release. None of the limited releases are very buzz worthy, even though a few of them look good.

Nationwide Releases

9x9_fresh Watchmen

watchmen

Watchmen
Directed: Zack Snyder
Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley
Trailer

Synopsis: Set in an alternate 1985 where Nixon is still president and masked superheroes are seen as vigilantes, someone has killed one of them, but no one knows why.

My Take: The comic book is awesome and I’m curious to see how it has been translated to screen since it has been said to be “unfilmable.”

9x9_fresh RT Score: 65%
RT Consensus: Gritty and visually striking, Watchmen is a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, but its complex narrative structure may make it difficult for it to appeal to viewers not already familiar with the source material.

TV: Week of September 28

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 6:12 pm

Wow. It is hard to find trailers for show debuting this week. Where is the promotional push from the networks? It is a very sad state of affairs.

Update: I did only have Sunday up earlier, but now I have the entire week done.

Pick of the Week

The Amazing Race
Channel: CBS
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Sunday, September 28
Starring: Phil Keoghan
Trailer

Synopsis: They will travel to new locations this 13th season, such as Cambodia and Kazakhstan. Also, one team will make a huge mistake that will keep them for making it to the finish line.

My Take: This is my favorite reality show. I love to see the destinations and the challenges are usually related to something specific about that culture. Also, the people that know each other already have the built-in mechanisms for arguing, which is fun to see heightened with lack of sleep.
