Sorry for the lack of posting.... always with the excuses huh? Yeah. School is almost over and then I can devote more time to this blog. :-)
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that Doctor Who has started back up and it is amazing. I have started a list of things the eye-patch woman has been saying and I invite you all to discus what's going on with her. Any theories and the like, leave them in the comments.

Movie Mania
I'm a day late, sorry. Anyway, there has been a lot of developments in moves and there are a lot out I'm dying to see. This is going to be a long post, So I'll give a brief synopsis on some movies currently in theaters.
In Theaters:
Hanna:
The movie is about a girl who was trained by a rouge CIA agent to be an assassin. She was trained to specificly kill Merissa Vegler. She was probably created and that's part of the reason they are after her. It looks interesting and the score sounds amazing. That's what you get when you get the Chemical Brothers to do your score. Here is the trailer:
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 71%.
Limitless:
A failed writer finds a way to increase his brain power by taking a risky drug. He quickly finishes his book, makes a lot of money in the stock market, and gets the attention of some dangerous people.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 69%.
Paul:
Two guys on a road trip trying to see all the alien hotspots don't plan on running across an actual alien. Except the alien is being hunted down by the government. This movie starts one of my favorite comedy duos: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It also has Seth Rogen as the voice of Paul and Jason Bateman as one of the men in black. It looks hilarious.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 72%.
Source Code:
Captain Colter Stevens wakes up on a train and finds out he's someone else, Sean. He's in the source code where he can jump into someone in the last 8 minutes of their life. His goal is to find out who bombed the train, but he falls for Christina and tries to save her. This was directed by Duncan Jones, the director of Moon.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 90%.
Coming Soon:
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
A living person is in charge of keeping the undead in check in Louisiana. It looks interesting. It stars Brendon Routh who I think will to a good job. Sam Huntington from Being Human is in this as well as a zombie. Anyway, here is the trailer:
Opens April 29th.
The Woman in Black
I just saw a trailer for The Woman in Black. It starts Daniel Radcliff and looks very scary. Here is the first trailer:
Just for awesome:
Correction: Portal 2 is coming out April 19th. Valve has released a short comic with a little back story. It's a very interesting read and includes a talking companion cube.
Movie Screenshots. Movies have been using computers for a long time. Here is an interesting site of screen captures of computers in movies. *note: when you role of the image, the title from the movie shows up to the left of the image*

OMG so much news!
I know its been forever... and I'm sorry, but here is so much to go over now!!
New Seasons of Eureka, Warehouse 13, White Collar, Burn Notice, Fringe and Covert Affairs are on the way so don't you worry. But first here is the scoop on a new show.
Breaking In:
The show is about a group of security experts who break into places to improve their security. That brief explanation doesn't do it justice. Here is a clip:
Quickly, Christian Slater looks perfect for the role; That's the kid from Reaper; Yes Lex Luthor from Smallville is in this; And yes, it's in a half-hour sitcom format. This sounds really interesting. The show airs this Wednesday, April 6th at 9:30 on Fox.
Warehouse 13:
After last season's cliff hanger lots of fans (and mainly me) are worried about what will happen with Myka. She was in the Christmas episode, but that episode happened before the season finale. What I do know is that she'll definitely be gone in the beginning and Aaron Ashmore will be playing Steve Jinks (really?), Pete's new partner.
Burn Notice:
There will be another season. Woo! I was worried at the beginning of this last season because I didn't like the fact that he kept lying to Jessie. He had to though, I get it. He accidentally got Jessie burned. But the writers wrapped everything up nicely by the end of the season. Now the news I really have is that there is a USA TV movie airing on USA on April 17th that goes into Sam's Backstory. More importantly, the Fall of Sam Axe. Here is a clip.
The Listener:
Yey, the show got a new season, boo the show chose to go in a completely different direction. Charlie was killed off, but I was okay with that so long as they didn't lose his psychologist friend, which they did. Grrr. the show doesn't have an overall story arc which is weird. Toby doesn't get those near preminitins any more and his gift doesn't seem to way him down anymore. He really should continue struggling with turning it off and such. I'm going to continue to watch the show to see it picks up, but so far I doubt the show will survive the season. Also it seems like this show is now making up for the fact that they had to hide their Canadian pride in season one. That being said, is her an IIB?
Portal 2:
I know I don't cover games much, but I hope to change that. I'm stoked for Portal 2 coming out April 18th. Here is a cool preview clip from PAX east with the games opening and some more clips about repulsion and propulsion gel. (the good stuff starts about 2 minutes in)
I'm also really excited for two player mode. :-)
I'll cover lots of movie news in my post this Friday. I just wanted to share the love and mention that I'm BACK!

Rumors and News, oh my!
Second Post this week, as promised. I also have started another blog on Wordpress that I'll be updating at the same time soon (within a couple of posts). I'm still figuring out how to change stuff, it doesn't look to be as customizable as blogspot, but some people may find it more convenient.
Correction:
Correction to the date of the premiere of Human Target: the date is Wedneseday 11/17 at 8/7c. That's all the way in November. Grr. I guess Human Target will come on after some crappy reality tv show when it finally ends. Until then, the first season is out on DVD.
Rumors Galore:
-Keep in mind this is rumor: Emma Stone from Zombieland may play Mary Jane Watson in the new Spiderman reboot.
News:
- Warner Brothers announced a new Wonder Woman TV show remake. Awesome. I just hope her costume gets a little update so it's not as skimpy. I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't agree, but the feminist in me is yelling, put some pants on. They can be skin-tight, but she needs pants or maybe a short skirt. Anyway, io9.com posted an article about 5 lesser-knon Wonder Woman powers that need to make a comeback.
- Pushing Daisies' Bryan Fuller has been hired to polish up the new Munsters pilot for NBC. This sounds interesting. I felt this show was one of the few shows that have aged well. Maybe it's because there aren't that many current events, the whole family is stuck in gothic era, except for the daughter. I used to watch this show on Nick-at-Night. I'll be interested in seeing what the reboot will be like.
I Am Number Four:
I saw this trailer on Yahoo! and like it. I soon discoverd it's based off a book of the same title. I'm in the middle of it right now and its pretty good. It's kinda like superman in nine of the last fighting class of their race get sent to earth, only they are being hunted down by the destroyers of their world. Here is a trailer that better describes their situation.
The main character is played by Alex Pettyfer who was in Alex Rider and the soon to be released Beastly. He is quite pretty, but a bit old for the role. Whatever, it'll still be awesome. The movie is slated to come out February 18, 2011. That is an unfortunate time. Movies released in February don't do that well.

Thursday night is not Saturday, but it's still awesome
OMG... I know this post is early, but that just means you'll get multiple posts this week. I promise.
News:
Okies, so first bit of news. Human Target will NOT be airing tomorrow. It will air Wednesday nights now at 8/7C starting October 15th. I don't know why they changed it... wait. It's fox. That's why. Although, I think Wednesday nights are better and at least the season hasn't started yet. If the season changes days during the season, kiss goodbye to human target.
Fringe is on tonight. I haven't watched the first episode, mainly because I didn't see the episodes leading up to the season finale. Also it's one of those shows I have to be in the mood for and I haven't of late. But for those of you still interested or just want to get interested, io9.com has come of with a guide entitled: Want to get into "Fringe"? These are the Episodes you need to watch. They include the episodes you need to see to really know what's going on, especially in tonights episode.
A trailer was released about the fall/winter lineup on BBC. You'll see all three (recent) doctors, but Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant are obviously not the doctor. The doctor who christmas special is featured in the trailer.
Rumors Galore:
-Christopher Nolan will be directing Batman 3 for sure (yey!). Whether or not the movie will be in 3D is still in discussion. The Director doesn't like 3d, but WB studios may force his hand. There is also some talk as to converting Inception into 3D.
-One of my favorite Webcomics: Multiplex (#516), has a bunch of rumors in it. The juiciest is the Star Wars Trilogy will also be converted into 3D. I really don't understand the obsession with 3D especially with the fact that the 3D only really looks good when shot in 3D. Whatever.
That's it for now, I still want to have stuff to say on Saturday.

Finally Fall TV - UPDATED
Sorry for the half post yesterday. I had a brain storming post that got posted. So I'm Updating it and completing some thoughts. Yes!!
This week had a lot of TV premiers and a few season finalies. Now that the summer shows are ending or over, the fall line up is taking it's place. Some shows will air this week too.
This week had a lot of TV premiers and a few season finalies. Now that the summer shows are ending or over, the fall line up is taking it's place. Some shows will air this week too.
This Past Week:
Monday night we had the season premiers of Chuck, The Event, Hawaii 5-0, and Castle. Now Hawaii 5-0 and Castle are on at the same time. Thank you Hulu!
Tuesday night the season finally of Warehouse 13 and the premiers of NCIS and NCIA:LA.
Wednesday night Undercovers premiered.
Thursday night the season premier of Bones and Supernatural
Friday night I don't think anything has started on Fridays yet, or at least nothing I care about.

Friday night I don't think anything has started on Fridays yet, or at least nothing I care about.
Predictions!!
This is now where I get to comment on shows and weather or not I'll think the show will make the cut. First up:
Chuck: I love the show and was so happy it was saved in season 3. Anyway, I like the new episode, I love how the bad guys thought Chuck and Morgan were awesomesauce spies when really they were only trying to find someone, Chuck's mom (who will be back in episode 6 I believe). Anyway, I don't know why he didn't share his searching with his mom with Sarah, that was a little annoying and so were some awkward moments. Overall, the episode was good, Chuck will be going back to the spy business, even though he promised Ellie he wouldn't. This show already has a good formula/system/whatever to be successful. The writers just need to keep producing good scripts and this show should make it.
The Event. This new show was kinda confusing. I wasn't paying full attention, but the amount of jumping to the present and back to the past was very confusing, and it happened to multiple characters from multiple perspective. Imagine a jumpier Vantage Point. This show was really trying to play up the mystery of "the Event", but failed, the mystery was too over the top. It seems like NBC is trying to create a show as successful as Lost and Heroes was (back when it was good).
Hawaii 5-0: This show is a remake. I never saw the original, but I liked the first episode so far. The pilot was all about forming the team, that's basically it. I thought that the bad guy in this episode would escape and then there would be a whole season arc about finding Steve's father's killer, but I guess the season story arc will be about police corruption and finding out who the leaks are. The episode was good, but I felt I had seen it all through the previews. The pilot was good, but the show needs to kinda find itself.
Castle: Oh, Castle. This show is awesome. The theme of the episode was about guys calling and blah blah blah. Castle comes back from the Hampton's and Beckett and the team are a bit peeved he doesn't call up. They end up running into Castle at a murder scene when an artist friend of Castle's gets murdered. Beckett and Castle then have a bet, if Castle solves the case first, he gets to stay and keep working with Beckett, if Beckett wins he goes away and leaves her alone. They end up solving it at the same time and there is some speculation as to weather Beckett let Castle win. But awesome!! If the writers keep up the good work, this show can make another season.
Undercovers: The show is about a couple who where in the spy business and end up getting dragged back into the game. They go to Europe to track down someone and find that the thing they were missing in their marriage was action so they stay in the game with their catering business as a cover. The episode was pretty good, it was directed by JJ Abrams if i'm not mistaken. But it really is hard to judge a show by one episode. This one is good, but it was just setting up the series. Luckily it didn't spend much time setting up, because they were retired spies, not need for them to train. The show can definately make it, but the only problem it has to face is that people may be getting too tired of spy dramas. There's Chuck, Covert Affairs, and Burn Notice.

That's it for now. In theme with the shows ending and new beginnings, here is a link to some shows that had incredible cliffhangers that sadly went no where: http://io9.com/5642207/most-frustrating-tv-shows-canceled-on-a-cliffhanger

Fall Awesomeness
Yey, I'm posting on time!! I've got a bunch of new news and gossip about shows returning and starting soon as the Fall line-up fast approaches!!! Dun, Dun, Dun...
New Series: Hawaii Five-0
Yeah the reboot looks really good. I'm definitely going to watch. Especially because of Alex O'Loughlin Here is a preview.
Here's Another Preview:
Premiers Monday September 20th at 10/9c.
New Series: Being Human
I recently saw all of season one of Being Human on BBC America, season 2 just premiered, but sadly I don't have BBC America anymore. I'll eventually get around to watching it. There is an american version in the works however, to air on Syfy. The trailer was taken down, but the show is indeed about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living together.
Returning: Sanctuary
Sanctuary miraculously got a third season, I don't know how, but it did. I'm sorry Ashlee's death and a seemingly sloppy reordering of the show really threw me. I haven't seen much of season 2 and I was surprised it even got a season 2. Doesn't matter, for fans out there, there will be more adventures with abnormals. Here is a quick look at season 3:
The show returns Friday October 15th at 10/11c on Syfy.
Returning: Fringe
Yey, fringe is back. I like this show because it's really dark, but not overly gory. It's graphic, but not too gory. They show has evolved past the Ex-files rip-off stage, especially with the alternate universe. Here is a quick glimpse, please note Spoilers if you haven't seen through season 2:
I totally didn't know she was Australian. Awesome. Show returns Thursday September 23rd 9/8c on Fox.
