Locke

A movie about a guy driving in a car and talking on the phone.  That's it for 84 minutes.  Tom Hardy is the only actor in the movie, and, boy is it and he good!

Television

Mad Men continues to be the most compelling series on tv, especially now that it appears Don is "coming back".
Bill Maher is at the top of his game with his weekly show, always interesting guests and issues to be wrestled with.  He also is executive producer of the show Vice, which probes matters of global and local concern to depths that bring them into view.  It's a provocative and informative show and is not to be missed.
Yes, Bill Maher, Robert Reich and Randi Rhodes.  Randi Rhodes is a radio talk show host, soon to go off the air, unfortunately.  Seek her out.  She's a straight-forward, no b.s. type.  In fact, these 3 all have these traits in common.  As far as I'm concerned I could listen and watch them and know I'm getting information I can trust.  Not always that easy to find.
