Modern Family - TV series

I'm really starting to believe that Fall of 2009 has nothing worthy to offer. This show sounded good when I read the synopsis, so I thought I should give it a shot. After watching the pilot I can say thats it not a bad show, its not a great show either. The idea is quiet alright. The acting is satisfactory. Its a shame that a show like this could've really been something if they only chose the right people to do the acting. 'Modern Family' simple put, is the best of the worst. I don't know whether or not a show like this would continue or not, but I know for sure that I'm not impressed and I won't be watching it. Lets see how things go over the next few months. Will be reading reviews on character development, and won't mind giving it a second shot if I think I've done a mistake in letting it go.

All in all I think this show is okay and I don't think I would immediately flip the channel if I saw it on TV. Lets hope it gets better or worth watching.

Duck Soup (1933)

What's so extraordinary about Duck Soup is that whether you speak english, french, cantonese or portuguese you will probably laugh just as hard when you see this 68 minute running film. Age also won't matter, as you can be be school, collage or even retired and you will find your self laughing like a five year old. I think the Marx brothers were the real deal and everything we see today is the influence and mark they left in comedy. This film might be short, but trust me, finding something today as original and as funny from start to finish is like finding Nemo in the Indian Ocean. What's so great about this movie is that when I was done watching it, I recommended it to my sister, my dad (who speaks only two words of English) and to my friends, knowing they will all find it hilarious!

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!

Chronological Order Syndrome

I've developed this disease and obsession to watch sitcoms and series since 2005. What happens is as follows... as soon as I find my self enjoying an episode of sitcom or series I HAVE to stop watching immediately and begin watching the show from the pilot episode. For the past 4 years i've done this for over 25 shows and today I have ran out of "good" shows to watch. So I decided to start with what? Movies! You might ask, "how will you implement your infamous syndrome for movies?" Well, some of you are already thinking it. Yes I start from movies that were released as far as a century ago. Today I've reached the 60's but had to cheat a little and put aside some movies in the 40's and 50's which I plan to watch later on the new Sony Bravia 52" LCD my folks decided to buy when they sent us off to uni. They also decided to upgrade the living room coaches to leather! Something they were against when me and my brother were infesting the house before we were sent off. Also a cute little bean bag sits in the middle of the living room. Yes, my parents who've been around for almost 7 decades have decided that the main room - a place where they socialise with friends who once borrowed a cup of sugar from Trex- needs a bean bag.

Anyway, back to topic. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed silent era movies. Specially some of Chaplins work. I never really knew how faboulous that man was until a few months ago. A few movies I would recommend for Charles Chaplin are:-

• Modern Times
• Gold Rush
• One AM
• City Lights
• A Dogs Life
• The Kid

Anywho, I will be posting another list of all the series, sitcoms, and movies (so far) that I would highly recommend anyone to watch.
