Myssi's Movie Mondays

This weekend was about mindless TV (OK, when is it not?).

Dan’l (my TV partner) and I have avoided the TV room these past few days because it gets really hot. So we’ve been busy doing other things—such as crocheting, eating, thumb wrestling. When we finally got around to watching something on TV, we needed something that wasn’t too long or complicated and we settled on “Killer Hair” (recorded last week) and “Hostile Makeover” on Lifetime Movie Network.

Now before anyone tells me I’m one step from dressing Dan’l in a dress, he was interested in watching these two movies because the lead actress appears in “Psych,” one of D’s favorite shows. Also, he somehow happened to be touched with the Battlestar stick because he’s a fan of Mary McDonell, even though he says he’s never seen BSG or "Dances With Wolves" (but he did see her on “The Closer”).

OK, back to the movies. The two are based on the “Crimes of Fashion” book series. I’ve never read any of the books and probably won’t, but the stories and the movie were fun in a Scooby Doo way. A fashion columnist, who insists she has training as a serious journalist (don’t we all?), happens to stumble upon murders and cover-ups in the fashion world of Washington, D.C.

The killer in the first one was unexpected, and given that, we were able to figure out who the killer was in “Hostile Makeover.” As I said, pure mind candy.

My only regret was that we saw “Killer Hair” on Saturday and we missed “Doctor Who.”
