The premise is an old WWII ship is recommissioned for use as a floating interrogation center by the US forces during modern day anti-terrorist campaigns. Suddenly it's discovered most everyone aboard was brutally slain and the black ops version of NCIS is sent in to investigate. One of the stars in this is Lance Henrikson who had a brief 3 season run in the FOX series Millennium and I like pretty well. In spite of the potentially interesting plot and Lance, this is not a great movie. It tries to be an X files like scary haunted movie but fails miserably. Nothing about it is stellar and I'd say it's an ok watch on a rainy Sunday on TV.

The premise: a young man inherits almost nothing from his father except for membership in a southern secret society founded during the Civil War. And it turns out to be more than meets the eye.

I am basically the king of cheap wine. No not Boones Farm, but wines that come in a bottle with a real cork in the end. While I don't have much money to spend on wine, I still like some body to it.

Last night PBS showed what is apparently an old documentary on Johnny Cash. I'm so not a country fan, but being a musician I've always appreciated him and his influence on music today. I really enjoyed seeing this inside perspective that followed he and wife June on what had to be a very early tour in his career which had him stopping at a childhood home, visiting his parents, and doing a show at a prison. If it plays again you might consider catching it.

A good friend sent this to me [thanks V] and there's just too many good points here to ignore it. The author, to my knowledge, is unknown.

They're all passing. The greats of my generation anyway. I always knew this day would come. This morning we wake up to the sad news that comedic legend George Carlin died yesterday. It really comes as no great surprise since we've all known he's had serious heart problems for years (decades?) now. But surprise or not, it's not something you're eager to see happen. George WAS the cutting edge of raunchy comedy that inspired a legion of followers. He always called it like he saw it, and the way he saw things was just so damned funny! Thanks George for all of those hard belly laughs. You made life a little more bearable.
