The summer season is moving into full swing. Let's jump into what I watched this past week.
Sunday 6/12.
- Ebert & Roeper. Fun show, a little more disagreement than before.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Two Thumbs Up
Howl's Moving Castle: Ebert- Thumbs down, Roeper- Thumbs up
The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D: Two Thumbs Down
High Tension: Two Thumbs Down
The Honeymooners: Ebert- Thumbs up, Roeper- Thumbs down
Thumbs Up Video:
Roeper- Jaws, Casino, The Harder They Fall, All the President's Men
Ebert- The Barbarian Invasions, Vertigo, Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train - Ultimate Super Vixens. I missed the beginning of this, but it was a fun look at the TV and movie heroines which have captured our imaginations. It was a top 20 list, not sure who compiled it, but it was narrated the way only Adam West can. For the sake of brevity, I will only give you the top five: 5. Xena, 4. Lara Croft, 3. Buffy, 2. The Bond Women, 1. Catwoman.
- Ultimate Super Heroes. Next up was the listing for the other side, also narrated by Adam West, and still very entertaining. The top 5 on the guys side are: 5. Indiana Jones, 4. James Bond, 3. Batman, 2. Superman, 1. Spider-Man.
- Family Guy. A fun episode with Peter helping Cleveland get back with his wife after she lets Quagmire in. ***
- American Dad. What would you do if your dad thought the neighbors were terrorists and out the community on lock down? This was an OK episode, still pales next to Family Guy. **.5
- The 4400. I liked this episode. It focused on a baseball player who is having problems reconciling with his mind reading ability. He is then used as a spy to infiltrate and get information on Collier. ***
- Dead Zone. The fourth season premiere has Johnny being hunted as a murder suspect. He with the help of the sheriff find out who was behind it, and in turn find out it was not Stillson. ***

I'm getting a little bored with The Dead Zone. Seems like the concept is getting a little stale. Maybe this new evil dude (the guy that bailed the preacher out of jail and talked Stillson through his father's "accident") will eventually shake things up.
Really enjoying The Inside thus far -- I think it has a lot of potential.

Inside is good, I hope they keep it up.
I missed the second ep of Dead Zone, I'll try to catch it on Friday. I still think they have some steam, but I forgot what happened last season!
