Rutger Hauer scared the crap out of me in that movie. I saw it many years ago, and it gave me nightmares for months. C. Thomas Howell, as the kid who picks up Hauer, did a very nice turn as a serial killer himself in "Criminal Minds".

Two of my favorite TV shows return this week. "In Plain Sight" has its season premiere on USA. Marshall Mary Shannon is one of my favorite female characters of all time. The show is written very well, and I'm happy to see it back.

Friday night, "Flashpoint" returns to CBS. The show is about the Canadian "SWAT" equivalent. My brother hates it, and finds it formulaic, but I enjoy the show.
