TODAY I WATCHED (TV-series, Movies, Cinema Playlists) 2012

Married...With Children and Happy Days

I loved Married With Children. At least until it jumped the shark when Bud started trying to be a rapper.

Daddy Day Care

WWE Raw (last night and tonight)

"Bandidas" (2006)


Western action-comedy starring Salma Hayek (yum) and Penelope Cruz (yum) as a pair of Mexican gals who take up bank robbing to get back at a crooked gang who are stealing land to clear the way for a new railroad. Steve Zahn is a hoot as a dorky Federal investigator who gets shanghaiied into helping aid their cause, and outlaw country singer Dwight Yoakam is suitably bad-ass as the villain.

Highly predictable, instantly forgettable but still a fun watch due to the fast pace and the high level of cleavage/eye candy courtesy of the leading ladies...

Blood Monkey

Fact Or Faked:Paranormal Files

The 2011 version of The Thing.

Some nice little homages to John Carpenter's version so far. Like the opening music and the animation of the title card.

Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the slasher film. Pretty good documentary, though they did leave out important parts of the genre (like the "video nasty" controversy in England).

NCIS
Big Bang Theory

"The Incredible Hulk" (2008)


"Rebooted" version of the Big Mean Green saga replaces Eric Bana with Ed Norton as Bruce Banner, who's hiding out in South America trying to find a cure for his Gamma inflicted split personality problem. Unfortunately, a U.S. Government task force led by General "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt) is in constant pursuit. When Ross jacks up one of his men with Banner's formula and transforms him into The Abomination, mayhem ensues.

A vast improvement over Ang Lee's morose, depressing 2003 "Hulk" flick, this is what Hulk fans wanna see, i.e. total popcorn action & carnage.

The CGI Hulk still looked like Shrek on meth, but other than that, good show.

I liked it a lot. Of course, the Hulk in The Avengers managed to make this movie look like the Ang Lee version of The Hulk (believe it or not!). most realistic looking hulk yet

Yeah, several reviews I've read of "Avengers" said they finally got the Hulk "right."

I'm dyin' to see Avengers by the way!! My brother saw it opening weekend and sez if he goes again, he wants me to come with him...

if you can, go see it on the big screen. It's worth the price of admission!

I'll be seeing it next weekend. I heard it's great!

I'm going to see The Avengers again this weekend, I saw it in 3D the first time, but since it was another film that was shot flat and then converted, I'd like to see the 2D version since that was what the director originally intended.

*trivia note. The blu-ray/DVD release will contain an additional 25 minutes of footage not in the theatrical release. Joss did both cuts, one intended for the theater, the other longer cut for home viewing.

Burn Notice

"The Woman in Black" (2012)


Old-fashioned ghost story set in Victorian England, starring Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe as a recently widowed lawyer assigned to arrange the selling of a secluded, creepy old estate ... naturally, he soon learns that the house, and the surrounding village, both harbor a dark secret that involves the local children.

Slow-burning flick that takes a while to get goin' but the last half is excellent. Moody, dark and creepy stuff with lots of atmosphere.
