TeeVee

Still be a slacker and not updating as often as I'd like. Here's a quick tv realted post to tide everyone over.

The new Fall season is about to start but I wanted to mention a few off-season shows, most of which air on cable.

BURN NOTICE and PSYCH are both on my must-see list. BURN NOTICE is kind of the Equalizer meet Miami Vice with a dash of Bruce Campbell. It's a fun action/adventure show. PSYCH is a detective show with a heavy dose of snark. The main character is a pretend psychic who works freelance for the police dept.

I also like EUREKA on the Sci Fi Channel. If I had to come up with a comparison, I'll say this one is Northern Exposure meets Real Genius, but the main character is a sheriff not a doctor. :)

Last but not least, there's THE MIDDLEMAN. It's sort of a superhero/X-Files type thing but funny. Or it's funny to me. Lots of pop culture references and funny, cheesy plots. Not everyone's cup of tea but I like it.

Slacker

I haven't posted in a while because I've been a slacker. :) I meant to write a review of THE DARK KNIGHT but couldn't quite put it together, so I'll just say I liked it.

I did get SPACED on DVD for my birthday, so I'll post on that once I start watching it.

More soon.

Hellboy

I saw HELLBOY 2: THE GOLDEN ARMY and I liked it okay. It didn't knock my socks off but I was entertained. Parts of it didn't quite click with me or grab my interest, but it had some neat monsters and it looked pretty. :)

Weird Movie Alert!

Turner Classic Movies is showing the movie SKIDOO this weekend (late Friday night/early Sat morning). What kinda movie is SKIDOO? Well, the cast includes Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon, Cesar Romero, Frank Gorshin, Mickey Rooney and Groucho Marx, and it's directed by Otto Preminger. It's gotta be a winner, right?

Wait, there's more. It's a 1960's comedy about mobsters, hippies, and LSD. With a score by Harry Nilsson! How awesome is it?! Well, it's just plain awful... but it might be worth watching a little bit of just for the experience. :)

Delightful...

Hello, Mr. Bond

The first trailer for the latest James Bond movie, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, is out.

Check it out. www.moviefone.com/movie/quantum-of-solace/26922/main

Looks pretty darn good!

WALL*E = AWE*SOME

I saw WALL*E earlier today and really enjoyed it. It's one of the best of Pixar's movies, in my opinion. And "Presto", the short film before WALL*E, is awesome too. :)
