Harper's Island Delivers On All Fronts!

It’s easy to think of a television show that ends with far fewer cast members than it begins with as having a self-fulfilling prophecy and perhaps that is what makes Harper’s Island so refreshing. Is there an element of a slasher movie? Sure. Are there a lot of over-attractive socialites partying like there’s no tomorrow? Correct on that one, too, but lo and behold; there’s more!

With two of the main characters coming home to the island after a horrific history, the plot is far-more complex than a who-done-it scenario. Visually stunning, the cinematography is fabulous, the setting for the story is perfect, and there is a great mix of vibrant, corrupt, and yes, likable characters that you’ll hate to see killed off, but this is the premise of the show. And if that weren’t enough, there will be no cliffhanger season finale or long dragged out storyline. Harper’s Island has its’ conclusion in pone season and while two episodes are already in the books, this may turn out to be one of the better mystery shows since Twin Peaks!

A dedication of sorts

I had the idea that creating a blog which has most of its' content devoted to movies and television and alas, here it is. While I had said I wouldn't use Blogger, well... What can I say, it's easy and free. Nonetheless, the title of the blog is a dedication to David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Any fan of the show will see that I added "still" and an "s" so that I wouldn't be stomping into copyright territory, but something tells me that Mr. Lynch wouldn't minds. So anyway, it's clear that I am a big fan of the show and many others. I hope that through this blog I will be able to share my thoughts on movies - new and old, as well as television shows, also new and old. I'd love to share ideas, picture, guest writers, you name it. And if you have a movie or show you are curious about or wanted reviewed, send a note via the comment section and I will surely hook you up. Thanks for reading and enjoy! ~Jerry
