I have decided to cut down on daily blog entries. I want to make sure I got stuff to write about and some days it feels like a chore to do so. So let's get to it.
Royal Pains (USA) had a great season finale where we have an interesting medical mystery, Divya wimping out on canceling her engagement, Evan losing HankMed's money in a scam by his father, and Jill telling the Carver (role he played on Nip/Tuck) to take a hike as she chooses Hank. I think that this was a great series and look forward to seeing it return next summer. Rating is an A.
Inglourious Basterds, the new film by Quentin Tarantino, was very good and was a bit of a surprise. Brad Pitt, who is heavily featured in the trailers and commercials, did not have a big a role as you would think. Tarantino really invoked the feelings of a spaghetti Western with this movie as there were numerous references to classic films of that genre. Rope burns around Pitt's neck, the opening scene, and the revenge ending were some of these references. Christoph Waltz and Diane Kruger gave very strong performances that could net them some Oscar nominations. Very well done film and worth seeing. A is the rating.
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (SyFy) was on last night. A bit disappointing as I expected a better fight scene between the two creatures. Still a campy classic that did well enough to maybe get a sequel. I did like the shark jumping out of the water to grab a plane and bring it down. Deborah Gibson was the featured star along with Lorenzo Lamas (he was not very good and his character was boring). I give it a B for campy pleasure.
Oh well.
