Prime Returns

So with my TV service being completed, I stumbled on to a new network with a new show. Transformers Prime showing on the HUB Network.

It looks pretty cool and i was very excited when I saw Peter Cullen and Frank Welker together again as Optimus Prime and Megatron. Another familiar name/voice, Jeffrey Combs as Ratchet. Combs played multiple roles on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. One of my favorite guest stars of the show.

At first I thought this was only going to be a 5 part series, but they announced that an actually series will begin in February 2011.

Sweetness!

3.5 stars.

Football '10

I don't know what it is, but I am very stoked about this Football season. I'm not sure if I share thoughts with the commentators when they say that Green Bay is a strong prediction for the Super Bowl. I would loose it if they do make it and come down here to DFW. I say DFW because the Cowboys do not play football in Dallas. They play in a suburb call ARLINGTON!!!! About 20 miles west of Dallas near Rangers Stadium and Six Flags Over Texas. Anyways, If I had the money and Green Bay made the Super Bowl I would definately go, but watching the game from home is just as good and more comfortable.

I am very excited about this season. It feel like a good one where a lot of teams will be close to each other in the standings. I'm also looking forward to Fantasy Football (as I am every year). I think I will perform even better than last year, where I finished 5th. I know that's not saying much, but usually I finish 9th out of 10 or 12 teams so last year was quite a move forward. I looking for 2nd or 3rd, but it will be rough. I finished 1st in 2 other leagues and I hope to repeat those.

I have no prediction for this years Super Bowl, but I will place the Packers as strong possibility.

Enjoy the season, folks..............

Beauty Without Equal

Prince Of Persia - B+

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

This film was very intreging with great cinematography and non-stop action. This is on of the few films that did the video game justice if not better. Gyllenhaal played a very convincing action character mixed with his standard dry humor.

I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy this film, but was glad I was proven wrong. Gemma was pretty bland, but her beauty definately made up for it. Molina was pretty funny and help keep the movie alive.

I do recommend folks see this movie, but no preasure.

Later........

Sad Time L&O

So I got word that my favorite crime drama, Law & Order, is leaving the air after 20 years. It seems that the big move from Friday to Monday nights had a drastic effect on it's ratings. I suppose so given that it would be up against CSI: Miami, the master of Monday nights along with CBS great comedy line up.

Law & Order wasn't the only Monday show to fall. Truama and Heroes also have been axed by NBC. Chuck was able to stay on the roster and make it to the 2010-2011 season.

It shows that NBC is having it rough, but they did announce a new Law and Order will emerge, but this time it's based in Los Angeles. What night is still unknown.

Of course, I will check this out, but nothing will match the NYC L&O's.

We will miss you Law & Order.

Cya in the fall.

Typical Scorcese

Shutter Island - 3 Stars

So we went to see Shutter Island this past Sunday and I'll have to say that it was not that different from any other Martin film. He and Leonardo work very well. Definitely, a strong actor pet of Scorcese.

It was great to Max Von Sydow and Mark Ruffalo because it has been a long while. Plus, Kingsley did great in his role.

Nice film to see. Check it out if you like.

Redbox Night I

So while I am recovering from my doctor and dentist apointments, we decided to make Saturday night a RedBox night. The three films are Sorority Night, Good Hair and The Invention of Lying.



Sorority Night (2.5 of 5) was the first film because Jen only wants to see scary films during the day. Yup. This film was you typical teen/college type slasher film like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine, etc. It was an okay film. It was tough to figure out who was the killer and til this time I can not figure out why the killer became the killer.



Definately a rental if you are interesting in this type a film. Not a first choice for me, but it was an okay film. Check it out if ya want.



Film #2 was Good Hair by Chris Rock, where he goes to different people and ask them questions about their hair experience. People including Nia Long, Ice T, Mya Angelou, Raven-Simone, etc. He also talked to various famous hairdressers and average folks. It's a fascinating documentary where you are reminded of some things if you are part of this world and you learn something new. Very funny and informative film. Check it out.
