akaihyoAgain, falling behind on these . . .
Movies:
Ocean's Twelve, the gang's back together. Unlike Ocean's 11, which is a straight up caper movie, this one is . . . not. I am not, in fact, sure what it genre it was suppose to be. It has caper, suspense and crime drama elements but it is not really one or another. The acting and banter is amusing but the plot is confused and weak. Many fun cameos though. My Grade: C-
Series:
Psych, Season 2. The laughs keep on coming and the plots remain pretty good too. This season is full of guest stars with about one major guest every third episode including: Kevin Sorbo, Ernie Hudson and Tim Currey. My grade: B+
Started watching Fringe which is interesting, sort of X-Files meets Torchwood. Two episodes in and the plots desperately need to be improved and tightened, right now you can see all of the welds and it is not pretty. The characters have potential but apart from the mad scientist none of them are that engaging yet. Not overly hopeful but maybe it will get better. Tentative grade: C-/C
