Cin’s Movie Critiques

I LOVE Thursdays! Because Thursday is the day all my favorite shows come on TV. Used to be they were all spread out on different days of the week, but then the planets and networks aligned, and voila! all three in one night!

So on Thursday nights, I cuddle up in front of the tele in my jammies. I get my coke, get my blankie, turn the ringer off, and I settle in for an immensely enjoyable evening of staring at the tube. 7:00 Survivor. 8:00 Lost. 9:00 Eli Stone. Who could ask for more?

Eli Stone

Jonny Lee Miller, Victor Garber, Natasha Henstridge. Cin’s Critique:

Eli Stone is a newbie, and if you haven’t seen it, give it a try. It’s got all the key elements for a great series: humor, romance, mystery, drama, and a warm fuzzy at the end of every episode that lets you once again believe there is some good in the human race.

Eli Stone is a lawyer at the top of his game when he begins having hallucinations. These hallucinations are, in my opinion, what make the show worth watching! So many possibilities and bizarre events you can throw into an episode if none of it is real… The hallucination that got me hooked: George Michael singing “You Gotta Have Faith” in Eli’s living room.

Eli discovers the cause of these hallucinations is an inoperable brain aneurysm. He also discovers that if he finds the hidden messages in his hallucinations, he learns more about himself, and he helps other people through his work. Each episode has been fabulous, I highly recommend getting caught up on abc.com (only 5 episodes have been aired so far) and then spend your Thursday nights like I do!
