gonna grub

Then watch "Underworld-Evolution" and "Underworld-Rise Of The Lycans"

If I can stay awake long enough, the last one they did.

I think it's a great concept but I found the execution lacking.

Yeppers it could of been done different and better. Big time drop-of-ball was with 'Rise of The Lycans'. In the first flic they showed Sonja getting roasted and she was blonde-ish. Then they have Kate play her in "Lycans" and she has dark hair. They could of at least died her hair. sheesh

Slight correction, Kate Beckinsale doesn't star in Underworld 3, the character of Sonja is played by actress Rhona Mitra.

The Bourne Legacy (2012)



Good action film, nicely paced and the editing wasn't hyperspeed (like the last Bourne film) so it made it much more watchable.

Extra props for the amazing cast including Stacy Keach and Albert Finney who I hadn't seen in a long time. Rachel Weisz adds class to any production she's in.

Imagine that It looked like her at times but it did seem that the the lower facial features were different. Anywhose, they could of did the dye job and matched the previous characterization a lil better.

Gonna finish the series sometime today with "Underworld:Awakening"

I never saw the Kate-less one... is it worth watching?

Not really. Most of the film had already been covered by flashbacks in the earlier movies, to me the whole thing seemed rather pointless.

Awakening wasn't that hot either, but at least Kate was in it.

Like Shawn said, redundant to a fault but lots of werewolve slice n dice action. The biggest headscratcher is why do the "spawn of William" full time werewolves obey the "Lycan" Lucian and seem so much easier to kill. Lucian get hammered but seems to pull through, yet the others are toast with one blow. The funniest thing on the whole DVD was it had a preview for a female martial arts vampire flic.

Thx - I will probably add it to my netflix queue one of these days!

Now Watching: Iron Maiden - En Vivo on Axstv

100 Inventions That Changed The World: Naturally the wheel was #1. Also when they got to space rockets, they interviewed an astronaut (at :36):



Apparently he was not an actor but a real astronaut.

Right now:

Hoarders: Buried Alive

This Is 40 (2012, Judd Apatow)



Typically long, yet funny and honest film from Judd Apatow about the perils of turning the big 4-0. The film stars his real life family (Leslie Mann and his 2 daughters) with Paul Rudd sitting in for Apatow (this is the same family that were supporting characters in Knocked Up). Numerous familiar faces in small roles including Megan Fox, Jason Segal, Charlene Yi, Melissa McCarthy and others add to the fun.

Like most of Apatow's films This Is 40 walks a tightrope between drama and comedy, one that he gets more deft at maneuvering with each film.

Robotech - The Masters

Pawn Stars
Hoarders
Neat Freaks

Don't know which is worse. The ones who refuse to clean (Hoarders) or those that do nothing but clean (Neat Freaks). I couldn't visit the homes of the former (the smell would kill me and I wouln't dare use the bathrooms) and I couldn't stand the company of the latter (I'd end up killing them).

Now that December to Dismember is over I'm pack to making my way through all of Star Trek Next Generation. Up to disc 3 now. Only about 45 more to go...

Tonight: Chik-Filet-Bowl

Eat More Chikin

The Drew Carey Show
Monday Night Raw

Just got "The Boondock Saints:All Saints Day" and will watch it later

I really wanted to hate this series because I'm such a fan of the original. But I caught episodes of TNG here and there and realized it was actually a pretty good (and respectful of the original) show.

So I'm really diggin' diving into the entire series.

Doctor Who: The Snowmen

Skyfall (2012, Sam Mendes)



Excellent James Bond film! Easily on par with Casino Royale (and a big improvement over the disappointing Quantum of Solace). Everything about Skyfall is first rate, the script, acting, cinematography, set design, direction, etc. I loved all the nods to the earlier films.
