This week is the official launch to the TV season where most new shows will start. I have a seen a few pilots and I saw a good crop this year plus the returning shows.

Here are a few new shows that I looked forward: Chuck, Jouneyman, Reaper, Bionic Woman, Life, Moonlight

A note about Moonlight: Yes, it’s an Angel-clone but I will still give it a chance to show me it’s own style. Remember that vampires work at night and action series are either private eye or law enforcement thus crime related. I could say that Angel was a semi-clone of Forever Night(1989) where the main character was a cop.

A drama would have more jobs opportunities. Examples of tag lines per job:

IT: “It will suck the bugs out of your computer before sunrise”
Baker: “The bread will be fresh every morning or it will die trying”
Overseas Stock trader: “It will double your money or it will see the light of day”

Also, Bionic Woman is a remake, of course, and Reaper looked like Brimstone(1998, it took time to find the title) with both bounty hunters for the devil but Reaper is funnier.

Like I mentioned in early post, it may be my last year watching new shows on TV. The only thing is that many are from NBC which is in the HD-DVD camp. Hopefully by this time next year or sooner, it will be a non issue for most HD fans.

The only thing is when I like a new show, they are quick to cancel it.

Sorry that I could not update the blog sooner. All of my energy was on 1 Cool File.

Also, I should note that they were not many English movies that I wanted to see. Plus, they are mostly shown in an older theater in downtown(cheaper tickets) that was not upgraded, I heard,  in many years.  A part of the weekend, it’s only open after 6pm thus limiting me when I can see them. Btw, It’s been at least 20 years that I went there and won’t any time soon. I don’t like a big head in front of me. It’s an old style theater where the seats are not in angle. When you have tasted the new theater, it’s harder to downgrade by that much. I decided to go by bus(been 12 years) so not to mess with the paid parking there. I waited for THE movie that will force me to go there an found it.

I liked Resident Evil: Extinction because it’s an action pack movie and besides, who don’t like zombies being killed again anyway :)  I also liked the story and how Alice is now changing and where it could go for a possible Resident Evil 4(?).  The Umbrella angle is also interesting. The movie is not too long(1h34) and it’s ok like that.  I guest we will have a unrated and a little longer(fight scenes) version on DVD and Blu-Ray(Sony pictures).  If you like that kind of movie, I suggest to go see it.

It’s more a summer movie in my opinion and should had been launched sooner. I know it’s another sequel and may contradict myself being a lack of imagination in hollywood but did liked the first 2 movies. They added a little more to the  whole story line.

Looking at upcoming movies, I have a few possibilities and that will depend if they are available in English here.
