You bastards!

The fifth season of Boston Legal was apparently the last. You bastards! I’ve always enjoyed watching that show. Alan Shore was just magnificent in it, always bashing away in a classic David vs. Goliath fashin — the little man against the big mofos. And seriously, Denny Crane… Denny Crane… Denny Crane… the name doesn’t grow old. Gun crazed and suffering from mad cow he never ceased to amaze.

In all, Boston Legal has just been an awesome journey, and it just sucks that it’s over. Bastards!

Yawn…

Tired. Headache. And nothing good to watch :p

Watched Far Cry a few days ago, yet another one of Uwe Boll’s masterpieces. Although I would never ever pay to watch it, it still wasn’t as horrible as expected. Sure, it was mostly a catastrophy, but as with all Uwe’s works there was something slightly amusing about it. On the topic of brainless zombies, Resident Evil: Degeneration was well produced, but slightly boring.  Hm.

I want more classic zombie action. Oh, and while I’m at it, more classic zombie humor! Like Shaun Of The Dead – that movie is a pleasure to watch in every way.

About the movies…

For those of you who are interested, here comes the movie reviews for you.

First of all, stay away from Ghost Town. This movie was literally so boring that I was tempted to smother myself with a pillow just to get away from it. The horror. Boring and dull story that probably has a really nice and shiny message hidden somewhere in there. Unfortunately, it must have got lost somewhere between the 138 shades of gray that makes up this movie.

Role Models got a thumb up at least. The idea was good, but it didn’t quite go all the way. Two friends get sentenced to community service and get to be a “big” for a crazy black kid, and a roleplaying fanatic.

On a more positive note, Sex Drive was not too bad. I watched the unrated version (which apparently differs from the original version in more than the fact that there’s an excess of … well, pretty much everything), and this movie is what you get out of putting Road Trip in the blender together with American Pie. Worth watching.

Dead Like Me was quite the disappointment tho. Can’t really say anything much really happened in the movie. The series was great, but this movie had less spark than the series did.

More of the TV!

Watched Stardust earlier. Pretty good movie, gotta give it both thumbs up. Right now I’m just waiting for the next episode of 24. The new season, although still not as good as the first few, is not all that bad. Plenty of awesomeness.

Right now I’m off to watch Role Models. Have no idea what the heck it is, but we will se. And no Ciara, it’s not porn. There’s too many movies on my to-watch list, as well as on my to-watch-again list. Gotta start picking them off soon :p

CSI without Grissom? Seriously…

So, Gilbert Grissom has now walked out on CSI. That’s typical. The fact that Lawrence Fishbourne took over his role as the knowallabouteverythingrandomdude makes things a little better, but still. The earlier episodes were still the best, let’s see how this season turns out.

Don’t know if I really like the way the shows have branched out lately. CSI is all about dark bizarre cases that never really makes sense. CSI:New York is brighter, but just as bizarre. A bit more random. The villain is normally some prick who couldn’t resist or did it by accident. And CSI:Miami, well, every mob in Florida seems to want a piece out of Horatio Caine.

Lost has gone nutty lately as well. Don’t really get anything of what’s going on, yet they embed giant cliffhangers in there, something that I like to refer as the “Cellblock H Method”. Everybody who has ever watched the show know what I’m talking about. It wasn’t good. At all. But you had those huge cliffhangers in the end of each episode that you just couldn’t ditch. Lost is doing the same thing now, just spinning in place. Damn those cliffhangers!

On a positive note, Heroes is just getting better and better. The plot is still thickening, and it leaves you thinking a lot about who really is the good guy and the bad guy in the long run. Ace show!

Well, time to get back to Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
