		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/dvr_8.jpg?w=192&h=300" /><strong>Monday:</strong> <em><strong>Chuck</strong></em><br /> Now that Hugh Laurie and his dreamy blue eyes (<a href="/2009/o2/what-high-definition-blue-eyes-you-have">so much brighter in HD</a>!) have moved to Mondays at 8, we're pretty much resigned to the fact that <em>Chuck</em> won't be around for a third season. But! Rather than get down in the dumps about its inevitable ouster, we'll enjoy the show while we can. The push for <em>Chuck</em>'s first new episode of 2009 has been relentless, most likely because it's airing in &hellip; 3-D! (Cue: thunderclaps!) We couldn't care less about all that third dimension hooey; instead, we're amped to see <em>Lost</em>'s Dominic Monaghan playing a flashy British rocker who is most certainly <em>not</em> Charlie Pace (or so say the NBC lawyers).</p>
<p><strong>Monday: </strong><em><strong>Chuck</strong></em><br /> Now that Hugh Laurie and his dreamy blue eyes (<a href="/2009/o2/what-high-definition-blue-eyes-you-have">so much brighter in HD</a>!) have moved to Mondays at 8, we're pretty much resigned to the fact that <em>Chuck</em> won't be around for a third season.

The push for <em>Chuck</em>'s first new episode of 2009 has been relentless, most likely because it's airing in &hellip; 3-D! (Cue: thunderclaps!) We couldn't care less about all that third dimension hooey; instead, we're amped to see <em>Lost</em>'s Dominic Monaghan playing a flashy British rocker who is most certainly <em>not</em> Charlie Pace (or so say the NBC lawyers). Here's hoping this is a prologue to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuQba4inleQ">Drive Shaft</a> reunion we never got to see. [NBC, 8 p.m.]</p>
<p><strong>Tuesday: </strong><em><strong>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind</strong></em> <br /> After a brilliant first hour that features some virtuoso camera trickery and a young Michael Cera asking a girl if she wants to "lick it," George Clooney's directorial debut stumbles a bit. But chances are that has more to do with <em>Gong Show </em>creator Chuck Barris' batshit memoirs&mdash;which describe his alleged escapades as a C.I.A. assassin&mdash;than anything Mr. Clooney had control over. As it stands, <em>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind</em> is notable because it seems to be the only movie this side of <em>Choke</em> that ably taps into Sam Rockwell's manic intensity. This performance is his Mona Lisa. [HDNet, 10 p.m.]</p>
<p><strong>Wednesday: </strong><em><strong>Hannah and her Sisters</strong></em><br /> When talking about <em>Hannah and her Sisters</em>, you can table the flowery hyperbole. Put simply, it's a great movie propelled by a tight screenplay and performed by a troupe of actors and actresses at the height of their powers. There's a good chance Mr. Allen has never been more likable on-screen, and huzzah to Diane Wiest, as the youngest of the sisters. She's the perfect foil for Mr. Allen's bitter hypochondriac. [TCM, 2:30 a.m.]</p>
<p><strong>Thursday: </strong><em><strong>30 Rock</strong></em><br /> It's a bad time to be one of our favorite shows. <em>Lost</em> is only three episodes into season five and its already clear we're in for a bumpy ride. Meanwhile, <em>30 Rock</em> hasn't been consistently funny for months. Granted there are splashes of hilarity, but most of the time the third season has felt too disjointed and haphazard. Maybe the arrival of <em>Mad Men</em>'s Jon Hamm will stabilize things. Don Draper himself shows up for a highly anticipated arc as a potential boyfriend for Tina Fey's Liz Lemon. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KmUwVA3BqI">We've seen the clips</a> (memo to Jon: we prefer the <a href="http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/look-the-part-getting-mad-men-hair/">Don Draper hair</a>) as well as Mr. Hamm's brilliant hosting turn on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>, so we know he's more than ready to shine as <em>30 Rock</em>'s latest guest star. At the very least, he's gotta be better than Salma Hayek. [NBC, 9:30 p.m.]</p>
<p><strong>Friday: </strong><em><strong>Goldfinger</strong></em><br /> We've always thought the entire collection of James Bond films are slightly overrated. Still, <em>Goldfinger</em> stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's the archetype of the Bond formula: Mr. Connery is dapper, hilarious and misogynistic as 007; the script is filled with endlessly quotable one-liners ("No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die"); <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MagCoUYvIXE">Shirley Bassey</a> breaks glass with the bombastic theme song; and <em>Goldfinger</em> gives us not one but <em>two</em> memorable villains, in Auric Goldfinger and his henchman, Odd Job. Plus, let's not forget the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_DB5">Aston Martin</a>. Daniel Craig only wishes he could have this much fun. [Encore, 10:50 p.m.]</p>
