Nightmare Again

This should be interesting. It was the Scream Franchise of its time. It is hard to believe that 24 years after the original came out that they are going to pick the series up again. I do not find that to be a bad thing as I enjoyed the movie however, I did not follow the franchise through all 8 films. I think a good twist on the film would be to bring back a character from the Original Film to play Freddy. How about Johnny Depp as Freddy?

New Episode of House

Last night I was looking forward to one of the three new episodes of House left this season. My husband and I sat down to watch while the replay started to record it. Not 5 minutes into the episode we lost power at our house due to high winds. I was not a happy camper and now I have to wait till next week for it to rerun on the USA network. I guess that is how it goes when there is a writers strike going on.

Writers Strike Rumors

I just read over at TVgasm that the strike is rumored to be over by this Friday. Since I have not been reading anything other than local news today.  I do not know this first hand but, read it over at TVgasm. I am hoping that it is true and not someone jumping the gun and just speculating. I know I will be happy if it is true.

Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles

A friend of ours had recommended that we watch this show. Well lucky for us it was on last night and it was a repeat of the pilot episode. My husband and i actually liked the show.  Now most of the time I am very unsure of shows based on friends recommendations. I was not this time.   Most of the time their idea of a good show is far different from mine and the hubby's It was a good recommendation from our friends.

Kiefer out of Jail

Well, it looks like Kiefer is out of Jail today. Now if only we could settle the writers strike and get Season 7 of 24 sometime in the near future. I look forward to my Monday Night Kiefer fix.

Blockbuster Movies

Last summer my husband and I signed up for blockbuster total access. After using it for a while now I still have mixed reviews about them. First of all I like the fact that there are different levels of membership. However, I do not like the wait time for some movies that we want to see. On more than one ocassion I have had to rearrange my movie que to get a specific movie that I want to see. I have also had to send movies back that would not play in my dvd player for one reason or another. I have also had to send movies back where the DVD was not playable because of cracks or scratches on it. I do like that if you get a bad DVD that you can login to your blockbuster account and report the dvd issue and have them immediately send you the dvd again before you return the damaged one. In short I still think that there are more things that I like about them than I dislike. You can also return DVD's to local blockbuster if you choose that membership level.

Directors Strike Deal

The directors of studios have struck a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television. Now if only the writers and studios can strike a deal. I for one am tired of watching reruns when the season has barely started.

Rent

Well, it looks like the 7th longest running Broadway musical will be ending it's 12 year run soon. I have not seen the Broadway musical version but, I have seen the movie and really liked it. It was only after I saw the movie that I learned that it was a rock version of La Boheme. It would be nice to see the Broadway version before it ends its 12 year run.

Writers Strike

Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come. I really do not remember the previous writers strike in the late 80's taking this long to resolve. I personally hope that the writers and studios can come to an agreement soon. There is only so long I can watch reruns of shows and not get tired of them.

Lost Boys 2

So I was surfing the message boards for my favorite Kiefer Sutherland show and I find out that they are filming a sequel to my Favorite Kiefer movie. Anyway, the more I read the more intrigued I am that we get a sequel to Lost Boys. Even though this movie is without Kiefer it is not without a Sutherland. Apparrently Kiefer has a half brother that is in the movie. All I have to say if he got his looks from daddy Donald we are in for another hottie from the family. Just wish that there was a photo of him on his imdb autobiography.
