Kings (2009)
Thanks HBO and more
The quality of this show is something I have come to associate with HBO. Sopranos, Big Love, Generation Kill, and Trueblood to name a few.
Kings is the first network show in years that I cannot wait for the next episode. NBC has a series that, if the bean counter's don't get involved, could be the renaissance of network TV. The acting, writing and production is excellent and a joy to watch. Qualities that network TV has not had in recent years.
Hopefully NBC will also take HBO's lead and end it when the story has been told.
The more is questions I have about locations. Are the interior locations real, if so where? The cabinet room with the glass wall, the palace entry with the chandelier, and other rooms look to good to be sets. Is the exterior shots of the palace the Dakota building?

Taking Chance (2009)
This is America
This film will be one I will never watch without tears. Ditto to previous comments on the acting, writing and overall production.
This film is portrait of not only Chance and Strobel, but of the people who call the US home. The respect that we as nation hold for our men and women in uniform is reflected in every scene except one, when Chance's dad places his medals on the coffin, this serves as a reminder of how the Vietnam vets were treated and to say "never again".
Whatever stance individuals take on Iraq, the respect this nation holds for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines is one that comes from the heart.
