'The Borgia Apocalypse'

for those who like me were, still are, disappointed that strarz cancelled 'the borgias' before it concluded you now have the opportunity to read neil jordan's two hour series conclusion via ebook. it's better than the nothing that starz offered us. it is a screenplay not a play and reads as such. though most of us are not used to reading screenplays it does give us a satisfying conclusion to the damned good series. and speaking of damned....starz be damned. this is not the first time that pay network has kept us hanging. remember 'camelot' anyone? and now 'magic city' joins the list of their premature cancellations. it is proving to be an untrustful network that does not give a damn about their subscribers. c'mon they could not give us the two hour 'borgias' movie? no they could not. time to unsubscribe. hit them where it hurts. their bottom line. money!

so if you want to see, well read, the end try neil jordan's ebook available at amazon and i'm sure other ebook sources.

and oh yeah...cancel starz!!!

'The Borgia's' Season 3 Tonight

this series on showtime is underrated. it does not get the attention that most hbo series seem to get. and it's a shame. this series is well written and acted. the first two seasons are available on disc. if you haven't been watching it you are missing something above the rest.
and i really have it bad for francois arnaud.

'The Borgias' Tonight on Showtime

i'm really looking forward to this

Wed, Bed, Behead: A Fond Farewell to 'The Tudors'

wed, bed, behead...well not all of them...but there was a lot of beheading and more...there was drama, love, romance, blood and guts and conniving and intrique. oh those tudors...tonight we say fare thee well to one of tv's best limited series and certainly showtimes best ever.
a great cast headed by jonathan rhys meyers brought history to life. he excelled as henry VIII king of england from 6/24/1509 to his death on 1/28/1547.

special kudos to maria doyle kennedy (katherine of aragon), natalie dormer (anne boleyn), joely richardson (catherine parr), jeremy northam (sir thomas moore), sarah bolger (princess mary tudor), james frain (thomas cromwell), anthony brophy (ambassador eustace chapuys) and last but never least henry cavill (charles brandon 1st duke of suffolk).















showtime will next visit 'the borgias' in 2011 starring jeremey irons as the cunning rodrigo borgia.
i can't wait for lucretia's antics and ring of poison.
