… because that's when "CSI" will be back on the air with the first of six new (!) episodes. Sister shows "CSI: Miami" returns March 24 with eight shows and "CSI: NY" starts its seven-episode run April 2.

Writer's strike comes to a close, more 'quick hit' film reviews

Sorry I didn't get to blog last week, but I was up to my elbows with traveling for interviews followed by the necessary writing Thursday and Friday.

BLOG EXCLUSIVE: 'Curse of the Flesh' interview extras!

The DVD age has spoiled us by letting audiences see extras AFTER a film is released, but how about getting the extras from a newspaper story that hasn't been published yet?

A quick, not so 'flesh'-ed out review from our local theater critic

Reporter Aaron Krause, who has the desk directly to my right, kept saying last week he might actually go see "Curse of the Flesh" this past weekend.

 

During a break in the rush of getting today's paper out, Aaron said: "I saw you on-screen this weekend."

Heath Ledger's life, legacy were too short

Death always manages to grab us by the short hairs. Being someone who loves movies, I'm repeatedly saddened when the Hollywood community loses another star.

Are you watching more DVDs now?

I know I am because of the writer's strike. (Of course, I find it relaxing to catch a flick while playing the couch potato.)

 

I've been catching up on several movies and here are my three- to four-sentence reviews:

'CSI' will be back (and the quick hits keep coming)!!!

Good news for Grissom geeks (aren't we all?)! The Hollywood Reporter is, uh, reporting "CSI" is one of 11 CBS shows that will return for the 2008-2009 season.

Sara's departure inspires grassroots petition

The person behind the online grassroots campaign to keep Sara Sidle on "CSI" must have it bad for Jorja Fox — or must actually enjoy the painfully non-romantic, chemistry-less so-called romance between Sara and Grissom. (I still can't believe they're engaged! Ugh.)

Who would have believed THAT swap was true?

I really thought "CSI" producer Naren Shenkar was kidding with Entertainment Weekly in September about swapping creative teams with "Two and a Half Men."

 

Apparently not.

Michael Vick dog-fighting — CSI style

To quote Michael Jordan: I'm back.

 

OK, my return to the Reflector blogs might not be as anticipated as the iconic MJ's return to "da Bulls," but I can at least hope I was missed.

The reruns keep running

Another week, another repeat.

 

That should be our mantra in the midst of the writer's strike. It's a sad state of affairs when I have a better chance of watching an episode I've never seen on Spike TV than I do on CBS.

Just a few things I noticed about last night's episode:

These could put a smile on your face

Could some new "CSI" episodes be in the distant future?

Ooops

Life is full of ironies

 

. As an English major and a fiction lover, I dig ironies. You're reading one now.

Ooops — I did it AGAIN?!?

I must have been channeling Britney Spears. Actually, that would be the slacker part because she obviously has been choosing the night life over her family.

The Barry Manilow song gave it away

Who knew that Nick's impromptu rendition of "Mandy" would help me confirm I had seen (the last quarter of) Thursday's episode? And who knew George Eads has such a nice singing voice?
