Oh, Great. If Anyone Attacks We Can Blink Em' To Death

Our movie streak continued, albeit cut short by a Netflix/AppleTV failure for some reason. We watched Conviction and the premiere of Falling Skies.

Liked the new series, probably best described as a mix of Terminator meets The Walking Dead. The first two hours did a good job of introducing the characters, plenty of things blowing up, and from the teaser scenes, the best is yet to come.

Bad Teacher is coming out this weekend. We're SO there!

The Path Of The Righteous Is Glorious, Unless They Are Wrong

by Rainier on June 19, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

This weekend has been filled with watching movies. Love it! So far, we've seen Skyline (yuck!), X-Men: First Class (really good),  Black Death (not bad), and Ip Man (movie based on the legendary story of Bruce Lee's grand master). We were supposed to be going hiking, but after we ate breakfast (at noon), we got a sudden case of the lazies and decided to stay home. Yeah, we're dedicated all right!

Tonight is the season finale of Game Of Thrones (oh, the suspense!) and the two-hour premiere of Falling Skies (this better not disappoint).

In between all the movie and TV watching, I've played some APB Reloaded (yesterday s**ked, got my ass handed to me all day long), and Duke Nukem Forever (hmm, not too thrilled with it, too much idling and vent crawling).
