Touch

Created by Tim Kring (creator of Heroes)

Obviously had to watch this show because Tim Kring foo !

at first I really hated Kiefer Sutherland in the show, every episode he asks the stupidest questions non-stop.. you will want to reach into the TV and punch him in the face after a while. The show gets better as it goes - and I really like the kid's VO stuff (interesting theories and shit)

check it out

Grimm

Creators: Stephen Carpenter, David Greenwalt, Jim Kouf

Been watching this show a lot - its fucking awesome (i like it anyways)

The first few episodes, I was not much impressed actually because the CGI graphics were lame and I hate CGI to begin with. I kept watching the show though because it takes place in Portland Oregon (gotta show support to hometown mofos yedig)

By about episode 5, the CGI got better and it seemed like the budget was growing. I love the story lines that are going on now and the action is getting better and better.

Watch this show, you can see it on Hulu - haldukken

HERSCHEL

Directed by Rory Karpf

Herschel is a documentary I saw on ESPN about a running back.

The movie was pretty awesome. That guy Herschel is inspiring, and it was interesting to learn what helped motivated someone who could have been one of the best running backs of all time.

I don't know how you could watch it any other way than catching it on ESPN, but if it's on netflix or hulu or something I would suggest watching this movie.  I can't recall how long it was... just man up and watch it.

Waking Life

Directed by Richard Linklater

 pretty cool movie, its like a more fun way of reading a philosophy text book.

cool art and cool ideas, not much else to say - check it out

Captain America : The First Avenger

Directed by Joe Johnston

MAN am I GLAD I did NOT waste my money seeing this in theaters!

This guy has the most random movies under his belt in my opinion -

He directed 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' 'October Sky' 'Jurassic Park 3' and some other recognizable stuff.. They are all kid type movies, but they are still pretty different if you ask me.

anyways - that might have been the biggest problem for me in this movie - it might have been too directed to a young audience for my taste. I never read the Captain America comics, but damn was he really that tiny? I would have thought he could be small but still have a little muscle - this guy was skin and bones... but that was not the worst of it. it was the CGI that blew it for me. Hands down, there was nothing else that irked me more than how stupid 'skinny' captain america looked - it ruined it for me.

Mr Anderson was good when he was Red Skull, but he still was too much like Mr Anderson for the rest of the movie to me. Either way, he does make a good super villan.

If you are not bothered by CGI - you might enjoy this movie more than me - either way, still excited to see The Avengers !

The Hunger Games

Directed by Gary Ross

novel made movie - saw it in theaters foo

I liked it, but it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. It was probably because I was expecting to see much more action. I thought the majority of the movie was going to be about the kids battling each other in the arena, but that part was more like the final act of the film. However, I did like the theories and ideas that come to mind watching the movie - like the way media portrays hi profile events, and the idea/portrayal of a rich community ruling everyone else.

My favorite part was probably the amount of silence in the film. There were many parts that I noticed had no dialogue, and the characters would just sort of zone out in their own world. I liked that a lot because it reminded me of a book. Sometimes in books, the character is not talking, but there are words to tell you what the character is thinking. I think it would be an interesting switch to a film, if that information was not included and the viewer can use their imagination to think about how the character feels.

I HATED the editing in the beginning. There were so many quick cuts and it became deceiving because that also lead me to believe the film was going to be action packed, but it was not, which made me hate that fast paced cutting in the beginning even more. what the fuck was the point of it?

anyways - it was nice to see it in theaters, but it will probably be just as cool on DVD
