Two new things to watch that start with D.

Dexter - If you haven't heard of it, it's a show on Showtime about a serial killer. If I tell you any more about it then I'd be ruining things. It's clever. One of those shows that you watch and think, "who comes up with this stuff?". It could probably be funnier. It has its humerous moments but oftentimes it seems to miss the "dark humor" it could be embracing. That aside, it's a great show and one that should not be missed. Bonus: it has Julie Benz (Darla) in it from Joss Whedon's Buffy and Angel series.

Death At A Funeral - This is a film that was released a few weeks ago and hardly made a blemish on the sales chart. The sad thing is that it should have. It's an hysterical British comedy about a group of people who attend a funeral where things (naturally!) start going wrong. It's farce with some dark humor. I've noticed, however, that many people did NOT like this film. It seems to be an "either you hate it or love it" sort of movie. I loved it! Bonus: it has Alan Tudyk (Wash) in it from Joss Whedon's Firefly series.
