Love TV, movies, and books--mostly mysteries, with a good love story thrown in every now and then. I have four adopted dogs who I adore. I love trying new recipes, and enjoy eating what I make. English language perfectionist. Reading in bed, Italian food, warm weather, the beach, all types of games = favs!

While being a long-time fan of “White Collar” and its interesting and fascinating weekly escapades, I have to say I was a bit let down by the Season 2 finale, “Under the Radar.” I was expecting more excitement, more intrigue, more something—but it didn’t happen.

Actress Jane Russell Dies at Age 89 15

I may be giving away my age by saying I am so sad to learn that Jane Russell has passed away. I can remember watching her movies as a young child and I was always fascinated by her. First, I thought my mom looked like her; second, she totally mesmerized me whenever she was on screen. She was so beautiful and just exotic to look at.

Review/Recap - "Royal Pains" - Season 2, Episode 18 - Season Finale 18

I am a loyal fan of “Royal Pains” and truly enjoy watching the show each week. So you can imagine how sad I am that this season has come to a close. True, we got answers to mostly all of the burning questions we had about the season as a whole, but to me, “Listen to the Music” was more like a series finale rather than a season finale. Given that the first season finale was so exciting, to say I was disappointed in this second season finale is putting it mildly.
