It's about that time for me to determine what shows I want to hold on to in my DVR and which ones have got to go. There will be a few on the bubble, but I don't forsee a lot there.
With schooling demanding more of my wime and of course housework requiring more attention, I need to see which shows I can use to sacrifice. I just have too much and won't be able to watch it all. So here it goes:
Dropped Shows:
30 Rock, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, How I Met Your Mother, Kekkaishi, Minute To Win It, Portlandia, Rizzoli & Isles, Running Wilde, Stargate Universe, and The Cape
Bubble Shows:
Bob's Burgers, Chuck, Community, Human Target, Law & Order: UK, No Ordinary Family, Parks And Recreation, Sanctuary, Tosh.0 and Traffic Light
Kepper shows:
American Dad, AFV, Archer, Being Human, Bleach, Burn Notice, Castle, Comedy Central Presents, Family Guy, Fringe, Hawaii 5-0, Jeopardy, Law & Order: LA, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Naruto: Shippuden, NCIS, NCIS: LA, Ninja Warrior, NOVA, ONN, Onion SportsDome, Robot Chicken, SNL, South Park, Star Wars: Clone Wars, The Cleveland Show, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Transformers Prime, White Collar, Wipeout and Young Justice.
I know I still have a lot of shows, and I will eliminate more, but that all for now.
Until next time.

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.

Pandora's Box
Avatar
4 Stars
So I went to see why everyone was on Cameron's jock. This film is pretty well done. The new technology was very impressive and the story line does get you deep.
Well done James. Not sure if you'll get Titanic numbers, but you will definitely make some sweet cash off of this one.

Powerful in a Dark Way
Seven Pounds - 4 Stars
Starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson.
Every time we thought about this film we wonder how it would be. It's one of those films where you must stay engaged throughout.
You don't figure it all out until it's almost over. Very powerful film. Everyone did a great job in it.
Might be an owner. Check it out!
Morgans In Protection
Did You Hear About The Morgans?
3 Stars
Starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. This film was very entertaining and Grant was hilarious as usual.
It was great to see Sam Elliott again. I love all of his work and Wilford Brimley did very well.
Not much of an owner, but a nice movie to see. Especially if you want to see the smart assness of Grant.
