What are you watching?

Best new TV show this season - Castle.  The writers are just wonderful on this show.

 

I'm loving Castle.  Originally I had planned to watch it because I love Nathan Fillion, but I didn't really have high hopes for it.  But both the murder mysteries and the witty dialogue are way better than I expected.

 

I thought Changeling was great, too, though I don't know if I could ever watch it again.  But yes, it was a nice change to see Angelina Jolie doing something other than playing a super spy/assassin/gun-toting fighter.

 

Right now (instead of writing my lit paper ;) ) I'm watching an old favorite - The Three Musketeers..  I haven't seen in it years.  I forgot how funny it is.

Caprica:

 

BSG fans you will not recognize this straight to DVD movie as part of the BSG universe except for a robot that has a few scenes and that you are in Caprica City.  I found the movie entertaining and somewhat interesting to see how the Cylons came to be, but other than that the movie fell a little flat.  This is no BSG mini series which blew me away.  However I am still interested to see how the Caprica show moves on from this movie which will be basically replace my need for Terminator which Fox is sure to cancel.

 

I give this a hesitant 3 out of 5.

Ikiru, film by Akira Kurosawa about a man who learns how to live only once he knows he's going to die. Very touching film, good stuff. 8/10

Me getting beaten up by Geonitz and Mr karate in SNK vs Capcom. Thourougly annoying

[Corki]

1) The last 3 episodes of Heroes Season 2. Now I am fully up to date!

 

2) Episode 2 of Ashes to Ashes.

[Dunbar]

Also

 

Death at a funeral

 

Very witty British comedy about a funeral gone horribly awry. Features a gay blackmailing dwarf, the word "gay" several times and Alan Tudyk's naked arse. Good times! 7,5/10

[mnwhiterose]

Watched Oklahoma! for the first time.  Decent movie, if you like musicals.

 

And for some reason, my mom got hooked on Dollhouse when she visited my brother.  So, now I have another show to watch with my mummy.  Do I not get any shows by myself?

 

And I haven't seen a single episode of Smallville since Christmas.  So far behind, but what do you do when you only have 2 recording spots on the TiVo and 3 shows at the same time?

[bad company]

Can't you tape two and watch the other?

[Majsju]

what do you do when you only have 2 recording spots on the TiVo and 3 shows at the same time?

 

You download. ;D

Something that I would do if I really wanted to

[Dunbar]

Mad Max, was pretty awesome yeah, last scene was harrowing. Gooo Mel Gibson!

7,5/10

 

The Great Buck Howard. This was a weird movie. I liked it though. Malkovich brings the goods and he loves this town. Funky seeing Tom Hanks play the dad to his son's character. Such meta. 8/10

[SinisterDeath]

Saw time crimes last night. It was alright. The dubs sucked, the subs were even worse. The plot was fairly predictable however. Not in a bad way though.

Have I Got More News For You on BBC iPlayer

[Alanna]

I saw Wolverine last night, so I spent today watching the X-MEN trilogy.  I hadn't seen the first one in a really long time.  I have to say, the second one is really the only good one.

[Dunbar]

Saw Boogie Nights again last night

 

And it's still pretty awesome, yeah. Marky mark delivers, as he's very convincing as a stupid porn star. I guess. Otherwise, excellent film, 9/10

[bad company]

I really want to rewatch dark city

[mnwhiterose]

re-watched The Notebook and Under the Tuscan Sun yesterday while working on, well, work.  Brought home a box of files this weekend and just needed something in the background that I didn't have to concentrate on.

[Dunbar]

Saw Human Nature, which I found to be excellent, as I think anything touched by Charlie Kaufman is (the writer! HE'S A SHINY GOLDEN GOD!). Anyhoo, interesting themes, lovely direction, quirky humor that hit my funny spot, nice acting AND a man who thinks he's an ape. 9/10!

[bad company]

Indeed you have

[Corki]

I've Never Seen Star Wars on BBC iPlayer. This started off as a radio show, but has moved to TV. The host Marcus Brigstocke invites people to try new things they have never experienced before and get their reaction to their experience. A thoroughly enjoyable programme.

[Alanna]

Watching Firefly.  For about the millionth time.  It never gets old :D

[Dunbar]

Saw the first four episodes of Dollhouse last night

 

I'm intrigued

 

Going to watch a few more today to see if it's worthy of my viewership : p

[mcs0083]

[Dunbar]
