Little Boxes

So Jen and I have been checking out the hit show, Weeds from Showtime on DVD. We finally finished season 4 and we loved the series up to this point.

Seasons 1-3 were great, especially with the theme song, Little Boxes. Just so quirky. Season 4 kind of threw us, but still kept up involved in the show.

Several characters disappeared in season 4 and we missed them, but understood why along with the original song being removed. We can't wait for Season 5 to release on DVD. Should be great.

Next series to watch is, In Treatment from HBO.

L.O.S.E.

So I have stumbled on a new show on Cartoon Network call League Of Super Evil (L.O.S.E). Very different from your standard superhero/supervillan show. Actually it focus on the day to day life of a group of evil doers led by Voltar, a short creature in a red suite who is fixed on being such an evil dude. The other members include Doktor Frogg, a mad scientist who is also commanded by Voltar to fix an issue. Red Menace is the muscle of the group where the only thing red on him is his hair. Finally there is Doomageddon, a vicious hell hound who actually makes thing more difficult for the league.

I'd say this show is worth a watch for a while. Other than the league being bent on being recognized as being the most evil beings on Earth, it is also funny that they live in suburbia, with their house looking much different than the others.

The shows airs on Mondays at 7e/6c on Cartoon Network with repeats on Fridays and Saturdays. Check it out.

Watchmen

So we went to see Watchmen in IMAX this past Sunday. The last time I want to see an IMAX film was in June '08, The Dark Knight. Well I have to say that Watchmen was a very good film, but definately was not worth the hype people made it out to be. This was a very complex film that seem to deal more about the heroes unstable emotions then their abilities or advnetures.

The big deal keep hearing about was Dr. Manhatten and how he loves to go in the buff a lot. It is true, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Lots of graphic fighting and an intense love scene. I do recommend this film to all who are interested. Probably don't need to see it in IMAX though.

I give it 3 out of 5.

Sacrifices

So my time and TiVo space are low and so I need to drop some shows. I watch too much anyways. So the following shows regretfully will have to be sacrificed:
Psych, USA
Smallville, CW
Knight Rider, NBC
Life On Mars, ABC
MadTV, FOX
Terminator (I know), FOX

A couple other shows that are on the bubble are:
Castle (I know it hasn't started yet), ABC
Dollhouse, FOX
Howie Do It, NBC
America's Best Dance Crew, MTV
Chuck, NBC

That still leave's me with a lot of shows, but it should help for now.

Let me know what you think.

Alias, Lost, Now Fringe

JJ Abrams had dropped another one. The man of the production company, Bad Robot, brings you Fringe where a group including an FBI agent played by Anna Torv (Secret Life Of Us), a nutty scientist played by John Noble (Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers and The Return Of The King), and his genius son Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek and The Skulls) battle against bizarre phenomenon.

It jumps you in crazy loops as only JJ brings. It is interesting, fascinating and funny. I highly recommend checking it out.

The Only Dude

Movie Review of THE WOMEN

1.5 Stars

I don't usually rate this low, it does deserve it.

This remake of the 1939 classic was a major disappointment with a few sparks of HaHa.

Out of the all star cast the only good performance was done by Cloris Lechman. Bette Midler work was dull and unoriginal.

The for mail women of the film (Ryan, Benning, Messing and Pinkett Smith), they were very disappointing. Geez Debra, need some sun?

Anyways, this show nearly knocked me out, but I can get.a shirt that says "I Survived The Women Movie"

I do not recommend this film.

SamCrow And Connor

So the fall premieres started and the first two I saw were FX's Sons Of Anarchy and FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

The second season of Terminator was great with the machine sent by John from the future going bad and hunting Connor herself. This shows a new side of John that gets him closer to his future persona. Great season premiere.

As for FX's new original series, the Sons Of Anarchy stars two of my favorites. Katie Segal (Married w/ Children and 8 Simple Rules) plays the widow and mother of members of SamCrow. SamCrow is a gang of motorcyclists who rival against other gangs like the Mayans and the Arian Brotherhood. This group is led by a character played by Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and he shows a lot of promise for the show. Overall I feel that this show will be a great show to stay with. Maybe the great replacement for The Shield. Check it out.

Later......

Becoming a Joke

Well this show was already a joke even though it became the world's biggest talent show.

Americas Got Talent is a bizarre show that is surpose to present the next big act of the year. The first two years were okay producing young singer Bianca Ryan and Ventrilloquist, Terry Fator. This third season made the show way worse and Jen and I decided to not watch this show next year.

Sometimes a show goes to far. America's Got Talent is definately one of them. I can see why Regis Philbin and Brandy left after the first season.

American Idol is another except for the auditions.

Power Ranger & The Photographer

Another new show that started this July called Flashpoint, Fridays on CBS.

Starring Enrico Colantoni (Just Shoot Me & Veronica Mars), Amy Jo Johnson (Mighty Morphing Power Rangers & Felicity ) and Hugh Dillon (Assault On Precinct 13).

Here is a discription:
When the Strategic Response Unit arrives, the rules change. The bad guy's caught - he just doesn't know it yet. The SRU, inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force, is a handpicked team of elite cops. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons - sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But they're different from other SWAT teams. Because their arsenal also includes a gift for words.

It is worth a peak.

It's Back

Alright my new favorite show is back, BURN NOTICE returns.

If you have not seen this show you must check it out.

Starring Jeffery Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell & Sharon Gless. A show about a CIA agent who gets a Burn Notice, which means he has been disavowed and black noticed.

Season One was his quest to find who burned him. Now in Season Two he has talked to the person who burned him (on the phone) and in order to met them he must do some jobs for them.

Check it out. Thursdays at 9pm on USA.
