death tribble Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Dr Who: Claws of Axos. The spaghetti monsters, Pertwee as the Doctor, Delgado as the Master and Jo Grant. Who could ask for anything more ? Season 5 of The Wire. Brilliant.

Blue Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just finished season 1 of Starz' Camelot series on Netflix. Problem is it's the end of that series; there won't be a season 2. Liked it though. Sex and medieval violence. (Was just looking for filler until the next Starz Spartacus comes out and appears on netflix.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. MID-Nite Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Hangover-Some funny moments, but not nearly the laugh riot it was made out to be. Cowboys and Aliens-Not a bad watch, but about as generic a film as the title suggests. Elm Street Legacy-A documentary on the entire Nightmare on Elm Street movie series. Fascinating to watch if you are a movie buff or just like to see how movies get made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jim Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Season 1 of Rizzoli & Isles. Liked it. Thundercats (new series). Never saw the original, like it so far. White Collar. A few random episodes. Liked it enough I'm gonna buy the first 2 seasons. Continuing to watch: Falling Skies True Blood The Protector Eureka Warehouse 13 Alphas Rizzoli & Isles Covert Affairs Through the Wormhole Sons of Guns Torchwood: Miracle Day Haven Outcasts And I'm probably forgetting a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Baloo Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? last night I watched an old episode of ST:TNG. Tonight, I'm Tivo-ing Through the Wormhole, a TV series that is full of cool science that could be rubberized for a science-fiction or superhero setting.

Blue Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I'm netflixing the BBC series from a few years ago called Jeckyl. James Nesbit is awesome. It's about the modern day games played between the descendant of the original Henry Jeckly and his alter ego. They do a great job of screwing each other over. And the British chick (brunette) from Leverage is his wife. Fun so far. At lunch time I'm watching last season's episodes of DEXTER. Thought I'd hate the introduction of Julia styles to the cast, but she's doing just fine so far. Odds are she didn't last the season though, if the history of guest stars keeps up.

Ternaugh Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? What piut you off? It was years before I finally figured out he wasn't a cinematic genius myself. I think it's all the "see how witty I am" dialogue moments coupled with some truly substandard animation. I think that the topper for me was the "Kosher pig" and his police partner in the synagogue chasing after Fritz. Just got back from "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and I think that it's probably the best movie that the franchise has produced.
