Things to watch

A real good movie was "Songcatcher". If you havent seen it, go right now and rent it. Thanks in whole to the writer's strike, I've discovered lots of new movies and tv shows. My new favorite tv show is McLeod's Daughters. It's an Austrailian show available on dvd here in the states. Why Hallmark showed it in other countries and not the USA is beyond me. But by the amount of myspace pages devoted to it, it's becoming very popular.

"Sisters of the outback are doing it for themselves when half-siblings Tess (Bridie Carter) and Claire (Lisa Chappell) hire an all-female staff to run their expansive ranch in Season 1 of this Australian drama. Separated as children, Tess and Claire are reunited when their father dies and they inherit Drover's Run. Between shearing sheep and chasing down vagabond bulls, the sisters and their female cowpokes take on life's biggest challenges"

And it's got some nice looking male characters too. BTW Bridie won Austrailia's version of Dancing with the Stars. Lisa has gone on to others things in life namely singing. And such a beautiful voice too. You can do a google search for Lisa and find her music and myspace pages, etc. It was because of Netflix that I learned of it and now have seen 4 seasons. It's at 8 right now and rumored to be the last. I hope they (Hallmark) decided to start showing it here.
