A Long Look at What's to Come.

Lots of stuff to update. I really do need to set up an update day, Any suggestions?

Anyway, Last weekend I saw two movies: Killers and Prince of Persia.
Movie Review: Killers
Killers was great. It was a nice twist of Romantic comedy and Spy Thriller. Pretty much Jen goes to Nice, France with her family and meets Spencer. He's a spy/assassin, but he wants out, especially after meeting Jen. They get married and three years later, Spencer's past catches up with him. It was great, lots of comedy interspersed through out. The story was a bit predictable, I figured out who was behind the hit, it wasn't too obvious, but still, not a surprise. Things got more complicated when Jen found out she was pregnant. Very good addition to the story. There was just one thing that was bothering me. It was probably addressed in a deleted scene, so I look forward to the DVD. Jen leaves before the hit order to go to a conference in San Fransisco. The thing that bothered me for most of the movie is why did she come back? Did she forget something? Was it part of his "surprise" birthday thingy? Other than that, the movie was great. Lots of shirtless Ashton Kutcher. Very nice. I'd rate it a solid 4 assassins out of 5

Movie Review: Price of Persia (Spoilers)
The movie was great. I played Price of Persia Sands of Time and this movie definitely gave a lot of nods to the game. The story line wasn't the same as the game, but it was pretty close. Dastan is an adopted price, he single handedly conquers the neighboring kingdom ruled by princess and guardian Tamina. Dastan takes the dagger as a spoil of war and then gets set up for killing his father. There is a lot of bickering between Tamina and him until Dastan learns who is really behind the king's killing, his uncle. Saw that coming a mile away... just saying. Then Dastan agrees to take the dagger back to where it came from, sending it "back to the gods". Once Dastan and Tamina are on the same page, they make a good team. Two dead brothers later, they get the job done. Good news, everyone, Dastan gets sent back in time and stops the unwarranted invasion. He even gets the girl. It was sweet, my recap isn't doing it justice, I was a little peeved at how nice the ending was, but it fit. I loved how much "game play" was added into the movie. The running on the walls, the jumping, and even a zoom-in on the goal gate to open. The invasion sequence was right out of the game. It was brilliant. The movie should have casted some more middle eastern/non-white actors, but it was well acted. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5.

Burn Notice (Spoilers):
It's started back up! w00t! We find out that Mike is being coerced into helping the company that burned him. The guy who played Uriel in Supernatural, is playing Vahughn, Mike's handler convinces Mike that he needs to help them find out who helped Simon escape. Mike gets shipped back to Miami. He helps Fi and Sam help a lawyer in trouble with a biker gang. Business as usual for them. *happy face* And then Mike breaks into a government building and downloads some files. Only there is a price: he burns a spy, Jesse. He helps Jesse in the second episode of the season. He convinces Management that Jesse can be worth more alive (with his intel), but Jesse wants to find and kill the person who burned him. Brilliant! Awesome. I applaud you writers of Burn Notice. The guilt is a very interesting addition to the story, just don't pile it on too high.

Nerdgasm:
Summer is just around the corner and with it a lot of summer shows are about to kick in. Here is a look at some shows to premier soon.
Warehouse 13:

July 6, 2010 @ 9PM. Now, I'm not seeing Artie. I hope he isn't dead, they could just want to leave the suspense there. Anyway, you can watch older episodes online at Hulu or Syfy's rewind. There are awesome commentaries available for some episodes on Hulu, be sure to watch.


Eureka:

Friday July 9, 2010 @ 9PM
It looks like the writers will be playing with the format. That sounds fun. I'm a little apprehensive because so many characters left after last season. We shall see soon. And I can't wait for the Warehouse 13 - Eureka
crossover shows.

Doctor Who: (spoilers)
Almost two weeks ago we saw the conclusion to Hungry Earth, Cold Blooded, which was very sad. The person with the most to lose gets goaded into killing the lizard woman and her "sister" wants revenge when only a minute ago she didn't care. Anyway, the Doctor convinces the leader that the human race isn't ready yet for the change and the race go back into hibernation, except for the sister and her troops. They get killed off by a poison. The guy who got stung stays behind because the only cure is down there. His coworker stays behind with him. As the rest run to the Tardis, Rory gets shot and killed. Then the crack swallows him up. I yelled at my computer after that. It would have lasted longer if my friend hadn't convinced me that he can't be gone. That would just suck. I looked it up on IMDb. Rory will be back in episode 14. Have no fear!

Last week's episode dealt with Van Gogh. I've never heard that pronunciation of his name before. Sounds pretentious, but whatever. It was an interesting episode, especially when the doctor slips and calls Van Gogh Rory.

Here is a look at this week's episode:

I love how he greets people. :-) I wonder were Amy is though.

Other shows to look out for this summer: 
-Leverage season 3 on TNT: June 20th at 9
-Covert Affairs on USA: July 13th at 10
-White Collar on USA: July 13th at 9
-Psych on USA: July 14th at 10
-Haven on Syfy: July 9th at 10

Phantom:
The originally movie, staring Billy Zane and Catherine Zeta-Jones was really campy and corny. Syfy has made a movie that is an update to the comic. Here is the trailer:

This is supposed to become a TV show if the movie does well enough. I'm just hoping it's much better than Waterworld. Hey Phantom: Waterworld lowered the bar, don't disappoint! Anyway June 20th at 7, be sure to MST-- I mean watch Phantom.
