TBS Has Something Here

[7/10 · 5 January 2007]

For a TBS original series, I'd say its brilliant. Otherwise, I'd say its pretty damn good. The stories are well-thought out and executed, and already, having seen just a handful of episodes, I see some strong continuity.

I caught the first episode in its first run and have seen subsequent episodes "on demand", which is a powerful tool for a late-night TBS series. One complaint I have is that I always wanna slap or yell at Leslie (John Lehr), but at the same time it adds to the draw of the show. As for the characters, I find them interesting and funny in their own ways. All in all, well-worth seeing.

Underworld: Evolution (2006)

A Job Well Done

[8/10 · 21 January 2006]

I don't want to say too much in fear of saying...well...too much. I think overall they did a good job with this sequel. I was not completely thrilled and amazed, but the story stayed pretty strong throughout the movie. There were, however, some pivotal, high-adrenaline parts to it. The end left me speechless.

Once again, as in the first one, the characters were made up and designed amazingly. The chemistry was shaky between Michael and Selene, but under the circumstance of impending doom how much time should be wasted on their relationship? The sex scene that everyone else has mentioned was well-shot and a nice transition, although it was a little too in-depth for me, and yes of course I wanted to see Kate Beckinsale's ta-tas...o well.

The fight scenes were good, although not overly thrilling. The highly-anticipated truck scene was kinda a let down. It wasn't long at all. Although, like I said, I was not completely thrilled and amazed, they played out the story ever-so-perfectly and did not butcher this sequel. Go see it!

Oh and yes...how could I forget...the stupid questions that people will ask.

No, not better than the original, but not worse either. (haha...figure it out for yourself) Yes, Tanis' women have nice boobies.

And no, no concrete signs of a sequel and/or prequel.
