Enjoying a bit more than Eerie is Spaced, available on DVD and on Hulu. Certainly aimed at the younger crowd bit I'm enjoying it anyway.

Ah...British. Might be good.

Haven't watched very much British stuff since Benny Hill, may he RIP.

I LUV British stuff!  If you can interpret their language they have some (or used to have some) really funny comedians.  They do good dramas also IMO.

I do too. In addition to Spaced I'm also watching Black Books which is probably my favorite.

Wish I could find Rumpole of the Bailey online, haven't seen it since it was on PBS way back when and I really enjoyed it then, would like to see it again.

I'm watching a Netflix titled Stepmom.  Three good actors w/Ed Harris, Susan Sarandon, and Julia Roberts.  It was an impulse pick and it's kind of uncomfortable to watch.  I'll say one thing Sarandon can play a very good witch or one of those other kinds of _itch's.  If I had to guess I'd guess that it comes easy for her.

Robin Hood w/ Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/

I'd really like to say I liked it. There were lots of individual things about it I liked. But, it just didn't 'click' with me overall. For me...the movie ended where it should have started.

 Plus I sure wish they still had the option of playing in either widescreen or full screen.

I enjoyed it but I thought there was going to be a riot in our house when the other two inhabitants here found out the movie didn't follow the traditional Robin Hood plot.  That was almost as entertaining as any movie.

LOL  My sweetie didn't watch it...she's not a big fan of those type of movies. Our yougun started doing other things half-way through. She didn't know the Robin Hood story..."Was it originally a book?" 

That's what I kept waiting for....for it to follow the traditional plot.

Cool, I'd missed that guy. We like most of the Predator franchise.

As best I can remember, it doesn't have that high of a rating.  But....as long as it's got lots of high-tech stuff, violence and green blood....what the heck!! HeeHee

6.6 on IMDB and that ain't bad. Plus Adrien Brody is usually in pretty good stuff, was kind of surprised to see him in it. And I'm hoping that the kid from That Seventies Show might be squished/impaled.

Ah....I hadn't looked up the cast.  Very very slow death!  It would make Red happy. 

No...I take that back.  Kelso needs the slow death. The slowest most painful that's ever been. Can't stand that obnoxious twit.

Hehe, I could go along with that for the whole cast with the possible exception of Red. Anybody who wanted to kick so many butts I'd keep around.
