MONDAY

There’s something comforting about the predictability of House (Fox, 9 p.m.), which returns tonight. Sometimes it’s nice to have a show where you can set your watch by its familiar plot points, like the show’s every climax where Dr. House has reluctantly ordered some incredibly invasive procedure to cure a patient, only to have it interrupted at the last moment by a new symptom or a phrase that triggers one of Dr. House’s Eureka moments.

So, just in time for Thanksgiving, which seems to attract movies about the kinds of New Yorkers who don't gather 'round the table at Grandma's for turkey and stuffing, comes the movie August Rush. Robin Williams and Keri Russell are there, and so is Jonathan Rhys Myers. And he sings.

Reuters sums up the New York-centric plot of August Rush thusly:  read more »

Upper West Side Councilwoman Gale Brewer tells us Robin Williams just finished a month of filming in her West 95th Street home.

Brewer tells us Williams's forthcoming film, The Night Listener, "has something to do with libraries."

The Booklist review of the Armistead Maupin novel it's based on begins, "Gay novelist Gabriel Noone is blue since his spouse, Jess, decamped to pursue his bliss among San Francisco's leather men."

OK.

"They were very nice and gave a contribution to the block association," Brewer said.
