In the Que

Netflix is a wonderful thing. Here are some suggestions of a couple of things for both queuing as DVD, downloading the Digital Version from Blockbuster or Amazon or even if they actually go to an outlet area. So many ways and so little time.

I would like to encourage everyone to watch a small little foreign film, High Tension (Trailer Below). The name is accurate as it portrays a friend who chases a psycho who kidnaps her best friend after slaughtering her best friend's family. It's both intense and fun to watch. I was drawn in pretty quick. So if you happened to be board please check it out. Avenues of play: Netflix DVD Que and both Amazon.com and Blockbuster offers rent/buy digitally. It's definitely a great movie to watch, but one of the only movies where you can't talk about the end. I'd compare it to other movies with such awesome ending but I fear comparing it might give the ending a way.

What I can’t wait to see tonight.

Welcome to Thursday. It's another day of hour after hour entertainment and fun. This is why I have 2 DVR's and Video On Demand.

Community/Perfect Couple, Vampire Diaries, The Big Bang Theory 8pm/7pm Central

Nikita, Bones, Greys Anatomy, Royal Pains 9pm/8pm Central

Archer, 30 Rock/Outsourced, Fairly Legal 10pm/9pm Central

Don't forget Archer shows and encore from last week and repeats both during the next hour. NBC has 30 Rock/Outsourced and Perfect Couple on Hulu. Damn you for not having Community. USA through many companies is on Demand but also through Hulu just not the TV Stream Version.

Sherlock Holmes 2011 - It's quite awesome.



What I loved:
John Watson, quite clever and funny and puts up with someone who is well Holmes.

Sara, I don't mind they brought in a flame for John. Its a dynamic you get to watch. I don't think for a second Holmes is gay but the fact that anyone might be more interesting them him boggles his unstoppable mind. She's funny and also has John's ability to ignore Homles when he's just the way he is. Not to mention there being a 2nd date shows this girls got something.

The twist with Moriarty was great. Enough said.

I like the introduction of his brother. Holmesx2 but with a concept of the world around him that helped him get office I'm sure.
That cases were intriguing and very much awesome.

The realization that Holmes is quite insensitive, considering how smart he's supposed to be. But it's him it's a quirk and flaw that makes him seem, slappable. Not seeing the big picture sigh, it's what makes him, him I guess.

This is what actually made me appreciate Sally Donovan (Sgt on the force). Her not liking him was extremely justified in her own way. There was loyalty to her "Boyfriend?". She even tried to be nice (offer friendly advise) to John. Even the one thing I didn't like about her (Making John walk to a main road to get a cab) ended up being story driven.

What I didn't like:

The Ending: you get a WTF moment and everything. Season 2 can't come fast enough.

The fact that there were only 3- Hour and a half movies. I need more then that.

All and all, I take the bitter with the sweet. This show was beyond the awesome. I would settle for weekly with to be continued. Alas I can find no info on when it shall return. I will keep an eye out for it though.

Amazon has it on DVD/Blu-ray and Digital On Demand. It can be rented from Blockbuster but you might need to call your location or wait for the online order. I did get it from Amazon but couldn't stand that it doesn't have CC on it. They talk fast and it's British so little things I missed. I will probably get the DVD-Blu-ray but I'll wait for it to be on sale. It will happen I'm sure. Best Buy does some awesome studio sales and BBC I'm sure will be one of them.

Something that has my interest:

So, I have a Roku, Hulu Plus and I love them both. I'm weaning myself off of the DVR dependency that I once had. Now though there are some shows that I'm missing either by accident or whatever that don't have the lovely Hulu Plus access to my Lovely HDTV. So I'm at a loss because streaming my computer through my TV seems like so much work or wires that go through walls or on the floor. Or is it?

I've been looking into this wonderful HDTV Wireless Router that just streams it to your tv. One version I found was Trulink the other is Asus Wi-Cast (both being sold by Amazon). I'm sure there are many others but I've only just begun thinking about this a major purchase. Yep everything over a $100.00 is a huge step for me. I penny pinch and splurge like a college binge drinker.

Trulink Video vs Asus WiCast Video

So I still have to check out specials and see what other products are out there, but it is a start.

My other problem. I only have 2 HDMI Inputs. Makes me a sad panda I tell you. Very Sad! I need one for my Blu-ray, the DVR, Ruko for those Amazon.com Rentals, and of course my upgrade to viewing my computer. Trulink has a few HDMI Switchers but I've also been looking at surround sound equipment as well. I've only seen one that has 3 HMDI and very few don't come with a Blu-ray play (don't need it). I'll keep sniffing around.

Scream 4 - Official Trailer 2 [HD]

I try to get out and they just keep dragging me back. It's disturbing how I can't wait to see something I've seen a 1000 times before. But alas with the orginal survivors including my new love for Courtney Cox -Watch Cougar Town it's on Hulu+ plus the appearance of Kristen Bell (love you), Anna Paquin, and my Lollita girl Alison Brie, I just can't wait for this movie.


But alas I will because I'm poor but Walmart price matches DVD-Blu-ray. I'll definatley have to get the combo pack.

~Hugs and puppies all around!!!~

Goal and Mission of this Thing

I like tv and I movies and I do like a specific PC video game.  This is my outlet for 2 out of three of those with a crossover every now and then into music.  I will be talking about TV shows I've watched, recorded, Passed up on, watch via online, HuluPlus, Netflixs ETC.  Movies I wish I had the money to go to the Theater for, DVD's I can't wait to get either by renting or buying. 

My opinions may not be the most profound but they are mind and I won't let anyone take them away.  So right now I'd like to open with a movie I will be watching when it comes out.  SuckerPunch.  For those who haven't seen it be prepared.  Very Prepared.
