Re: Tonight's watch...

Since we're continuing...I'm hoping to watch the last episode of Def Poetry Season 6 tonight and then we're going to dive into the Blu Ray of Dreamgirls.

Jason, T-minus 2 days until we watch Planet Earth in high def

Tuesday night we watched "There Will Be Blood" and I have to agree with most critics as it turned out to be a pretty good film. I can certainly agree that Daniel deserved the Academy Award, but oddly enough he was not a character you could like or love. He was such a selfish, stuborn character, but then most the characters in the movie were not likable, either. Nevertheless, it turns out to be a very well crafted drama. 8/10

I should also mention that I've never seen a DVD case quite like the one for "There Will Be Blood". It's obviously one of those "going green", environmental friendly cases as it is thin in cardboard, recycled paper. As if we have a major epidemic of people throwing away all their plastic slip cases.


Last night the daughter and I watched "Across The Universe" and found it quite enjoyable. I usually don't care for musicals, but with all the music coming from The Beatles, it's a little hard to fail. Plus, with the music being so enjoyable it's a film with a lot of great repeat value -- I know I liked it so much that I'm looking forward to seeing it again very soon. It really had a good theme about it as everything in the film has some relation to Beatles songs -- such as the main characters having the names of Jude and Lucy. Or Jude's friend Max making use of a silver hammer. Either way it was an enjoyable film that I can easily recommend on any level. 8/10

I watched The Reaping last night on BD with the wife.

Survey says....

LAME!

Yeah really!

I enjoyed "Across the Universe" too, which I bought blind on one of my Amazon orders. I especially liked that part with whats-her-name singing "I wanna hold your hand". That was great. Glad I have it.

wolfen, agreed. "The Reaping" was very lame - not even worth a rental really. Glad I don't have it.

Well I just received yet another movie from zip.ca. I got Deer Hunter on HD DVD which I'll be watching tonight. I've been wanting to see this movie for months.

This zip.ca free 2 week trial period has been amazing. I've been sent 8 HD DVD's to watch for FREE and they ship FAST. This thing blows away Blockbuster and Rogers video plus it's a lot cheaper. I'm gonna keep using this online rental service and I hope the service stays the same after the trial period is over.

So ya Deer Hunter for me tonight and if there's time Wolf Creek also.

No DVD watching tonight, people. New Battlestar Galactica is on at 10 pm.

Tomorrow, though, we dive into Planet Earth with a brand new TV.

Jason, uber-nerd

I'll probably watch SUPERBAD tonight and fit the Miss USA swimsuit contest in, lol. It's legal in my house as I'm single, haha. My cat wont object (he likes the ladies too).

Watched 3:10 to Yuma tonight!
