9


9 is an animated movie based on an award winning short. John C. Reilly and Elijah Wood do voices. It's a postapocalyptic world and 9 hols the key. The ending is wierd and random. It's only an hour and 15 minutes. All in all, I say WAIT TILL IT'S ON TV.

Survivors


On BBC America - Survivors - are that, survivors. An illness has spread and killed almost everyone. This group bands together to survive. An interesting groups of actors - that if you watch British TV as much as I do - you will recognize as TV veterns. Pilot was excellent - background on each character mainly - can't wait to see more. It is on Saturdays here in the US. All in all, I say: SEE IT.

Legion


Paul Bettany (so cute) is angel Michael who refuses to follow God's orders to kill all humans. Ok - so by now you have figured out that the screenplay sucks. Some awesome actors wasted on a bad script with tons of boring scenes. The action scenes are chessy, bad, and poorly lit. All in all, I say: BURN IT.

Valentine's Day


It's the American version of Love Actually. A typical Gary Marshall movie - fun, loving, and predictable. There are some cute parts, some funny parts, and at the end (OMG) an unexpected part. It was good for an easy going Valentine's Day movie. All in all, I say: RENT IT.

Human Target


Ok - the remake of Human Target is ok. I only like Mark Valley (who plays Chistopher Chance) the others aren't working for me - so I tune them out. I miss seeing Valley in comedy. I was devastated when Keen Eddie on BBC was cancelled (the one Sienna Miller was in before every fell in love with her - except me I don't think she has any talent). He was NOT funny in Fringe or Boston Legal. Here he is & despite the bad blue screen the action scenes are cool. In the last episode I watched the fight scene in the car three times. All in all, I say: CHECK IT OUT on Fox.

Past Life


The show has only been on twice. I like the woman's southern accent. I like the idea of a show that is part supernatural & part solving crimes - the best part - it's not another Medium. People are really saying horrible things about it, but I though the second show proved it might get better. I am going to hang in longer. All in all, I say: CHECK IT OUT on Fox.

Fox


My favorite male Bollywood star has a new movie - at last! He stars in Indian films that aren't true traditional Bollywood. The music only appears in party scenes or if the characters go into a club - it isn't like most where all of a sudden the characters break out into song & then they are magically transported into the mountains. Arjun Rampal plays a lawyer that is being set up & he has to find out who is behind it or go to jail himself. He is soooo cute - he is married to a model in real life and has 2 kids, but a girl can dream. Movie was ok - ending was not expected. All in all, I say: RENT IT on Netflix.
