TV Show: Life On Mars

NOTE: This review is for the BBC show; there was an American version, which flopped after 1 season and is supposed to be fookin' terrible.

Quotes from show:
"You have amnesia, Sam."
"I'm in a coma, Frank."

Recommend?
Yes, I do! Unless I'm in a coma, in which case, my future sensibilities my not recommend this. Unless I'm not in a coma, and it really is 1973...in which case, maybe I recommend it. Unless I have amnesia. But what if I'm a time traveler?

Book: "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

Ok, when someone describes this book to you, you think, "That's totally a rip-off of Battle Royale with a dash of The Long Walk thrown in." And then you read the book, and it kind of is like Battle Royale with a dash of The Long Walk. But it's totally exciting, is well-written, and has good characters.

Recommend? I just read the sequel and am now eagerly awaiting the final book!

80's flash backs!

well as much as id like to not admit it our generation is now the target demographic for trendy retro pop culture. i found out a few days ago they are remaking the old excalibur(same director, WTF) movie along with red sonjia(rose mcgowen will be sonjia, sexy machine gun leg and all), nightmare on elmstreet( with the actor who played  Rorschach and stared in the bad news bears movie), and i know there's something else that is in the remake but totally forgot. My feelings are not so hot on these, i kinda feel why remake a great or b- movie. if it was a classic don't mess it up and if it was crap the first time just leave it buried. anywho that's my two cents leave a post and let me know your thoughts or if you know of any remakes. throw them out there.
Clash of the titans is the one remake that i know is soon to be released. im a fan of the classic, but i gotta say the monsters i hope they are tied in kinda better to the story cause i watched it recently and they just felt like a final fantasy encounter. like whoa there's a monster lets fight! sorry to ramble.
