Born into Blood

Dexter concluded its season last night and I had to note that I called the ending about a month ago. I told my wife that the “cycle always repeats. Rita is history. Dexter’s son got a dark passenger.”

I don’t think Trinity killed Rita though. He didn’t gloat about it on the table, did he? Time will tell.

This is such a great series, my favorite on television. I was glued to the set watching this series unfold all season.

My childhood friend, James Manos Jr., created this series for TV. I guess Brooklyn drives imagination in many different ways.

John Lithgow was wonderful. What a creepy and perfect serial killer. My bet is that he will win an Emmy for this set of performances. Watch the series online or buy the DVD set when it is available. Dexter is worthwhile television.

As another aside, we went to see Invictus this weekend as well. I give it 3 stars. It is a worthwhile film with very restrained performances by Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. You could tell it was a Clint Eastwood film, very efficient and very tight. I wanted more but we enjoyed the film and I would recommend it to my friends.

I had an amazing reawakening experience yesterday; hear me out — so CAA represents me on some film producing activities; and has been very helpful to me on my film, Nanking.

The individual’s name is James Manos, Jr.. Click here for the Wikipedia entry on him and his career.

James Manos — holy cow — Continue reading
