Tonight is the season finale of True Blood, the hit series based on the novels by Charlaine Harris. But don’t despair! SCIFI/Fantasy lovers have a plethora of entertainment awaiting them….
On the Fantasy front, there is a wonderful new series airing on broadcast television based on Terry Goodkind’s ‘Sword of Truth’ novels, Legend of the Seeker. Follow Richard and Kahlan as they fight against the corrupt empire of Darken Rahl…I have caught three episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them, the characters are true to the novels. (No surprise that friend to fantasy lovers everywhere Sam Raimi is behind this production.) Find it on your local channel at the website above and DVR this baby!

Film Noir Friday : Howard Hawks’ To Have and Have Not (1944)

Film Noir : crime, dames, men who seem to really enjoy hard-living, drinking, swearing, smoking and driving (and everyone has great clothes and wears hats!); this genre has it all, including ‘hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate’, but that’s another film and I digress…
Merriam Webster says it this way: a type of crime film featuring cynical malevolent characters in a sleazy setting and an ominous atmosphere that is conveyed by shadowy photography and foreboding background music
M-W doesn’t give you the truth of it, after all this is the genre where we find, surely one of the most romantic couples of all time…hey don’t call me Shirley
