Fall 2007 is upon us and that means film and television studios are rolling out their best new line-ups and Oscar hopeful films. If you're looking for something with more depth and a little bit of magic, check out our recommendations for the open minded below:
Rescue Mediums
Jackie Dennison & Christine Hamlett are two quirky psychics with a talent for clearing homes and businesses from spirit presences. The show focuses on the two sisters-in-law as they travel to ghostly houses and establishments and interact with the spirits in residence. Whether it's a hopping nightclub or a run-down church, the Rescue Mediums encounter scores of spirits, often with frightening consequences.
Saving Grace
Ever had a the biggest wake-up call of your life only to find that being awake is a lot harder than you thought? Then start watching Saving Grace. Holly Hunter plays a heavy-drinking, tough-living police detective in this passion play. After hitting a man with her car, Grace finally reaches out for help, and gets it, but she's going to have to change her life. When the universe gives you the supreme gift of glimpsing how desperate your life has become in the very midst of your chaos, it means only one thing. You are either standing at the edge of the cliff of self-annihilation or about to grow wings to fly over the canyon. The choice is yours.
Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead
Young and stylish, Lisa Williams is a new breed of psychic. Whether stopping on the street to connect the spirit of a murdered friend, or helping a historian figure out a mystery at an old Hollywood mansion, Lisa uses her clairvoyant powers to serve as a medium between the living and the dead. With her edgy, British attitude she shares her insights about the afterlife like a girlfriend with a secret.
Pushing Daisies
Have you ever wished for just a little more time with someone who has passed on? If you have a hard time accepting the death of a loved one, Pushing Daisies may be just what you are looking for. In one of the most complex set ups of any television show in history, the hero of this fantasy tale has life on a two-way switch: touch a dead body once, they come back to life. Touch it twice, and the dead are once again, dead. This is handy for solving crimes and for keeping your beloved girlfriend alive even if you can never hold her hand. If dying leads you to a place suspended between human contact and the unknown, how long can you last? What is love without touch and what is life without death? The flesh is temporary, the spirit is eternal and this show asks what would it be like to have one toe in each bewildering pond.
Medium
Did you ever think that seeing the future would make your life easier? You may want to re-think that one when Medium returns for another season. Allison Dubois uses her gifts for hearing the dead and seeing visions to bring the guilty to justice. Being able to sense what others can't can be lonely and confusing as Allison struggles to balance her marriage, children and her own desire to find violent criminals. The universe manifests great gifts for those who can receive them in this fall's Medium.
Psychic Detectives
For those who enjoy CSI but want a psychic twist, look no further than Psychic Detectives. CourtTV's landmark show depicts real cases in which the gifts of psychics were called by police as a means to augment particularly vexing investigations. Cases ranging from the disappearance of Laci Peterson to the mysterious death of a state senator's daughter are showcased.
Films with depth...
And now for the movies! Grab the friend you have that loves to dissect a good film and get ready for some great debates this Oscar season. Here are some picks that will keep you talking long into the night. When faced with losing your mind or compromising everything you stand for, what terrible door do you chose? Find out by watching Michael Clayton. George Clooney must bring in a defecting lawyer who has either lost his mind or found it. The weight of the world looks great on Clooney's well-fitting suits and the madness of forgetting that everything in this world is temporary is seen in stark relief. Your life is so much more than your life circumstance, but it is in the trappings of earthly concerns that we are brought to our knees to find our truth. And when it's Clooney who's kneeling down for redemption, it's a beautiful sight.
Have you ever suspected that love is an illusion of the mind? Put aside everything you know about romance tales and watch Lars and the Real Girl. Ryan Gosling falls in love with a plastic sex doll - deeply, completely, and soulfully, in love. For it is in the act of loving that we become love. And Lars knows something most of us who love real people miss all the time. It doesn't matter what you love, it matters that you do love.
When marching through modern life's prescribed menu of expectations and accomplishments, have you ever wanted to simply walk away? Don't miss Into the Wild. It's the story of a young man who leaves his last name, wealthy family and all that comes with it to live life as life comes. His two years of living outside of everything he knows leads to extinction in the Alaskan wilderness. Is short, is a vivid life better than a drawn out predictable one? Are we what society makes of us or what we make of ourselves? These are not questions for those that want to swim in the shallow end, but when we engage with the things that scare us, we find there is nothing to fear but fear itself.
Step out, start again, love deeply and fully. And practice some self-care by giving yourself the gift of great stories this fall!
