Yesterday was quite the slow day, mainly because of Presidents' Day in the U.S., but it should pick up again today.

Unfortunately, I have to a quick visit at the dentist, but hopefully that won't take long. Every second spent in that cursed chair is a second too long.

We watched House, Fringe, The Good Wife, Comic Book Men (Kevin Smith series about his comic book store), Full Metal Jousting (damn, that looks like it hurts), and Two Broke Girls.

Going to give the PC version of Alan Wake a try later today and see what all the hubbub is all about. Maybe I'll even get around to finally checking out RAGE. I downloaded it but never fired it up.

Most importantly, though, tonight is the screening of Act of Valor. It had better not disappoint (*cough*Red Tails*cough*).

We watched the latest episodes of Fringe and The Walking Dead, both quite good. I'm especially happy that the latter show has stuff happening instead of running around in the woods for hours on end like it did earlier in the season. A close-up view of somebody getting his face eaten perks you right up.

We ended up watching Red Tails yesterday, and while I love war movies, this one is not among my favorites. On the contrary, it's probably going to rank somewhere among the worst. From the start, it was already a hit and miss, as the introduction credits were in red (most likely as a wink to the title), but they totally distracted from the action during the opening sequence. While I'll admit that is nitpicking, the rest of the movie did not fare any better. For its lineup of stars (Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., Gerald McRaney, and even Method Man), the acting was weak sauce. What frustrated most of all, however, was the sound quality. The dogfights had no punch, you weren't blown away by explosions, and everything sounded hollow and tinny. When you have some lame music to build up a major air combat scene, you really have to wonder what Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox were thinking.
