Mud: 9/10

Taylor, how is the other version? I loved the first season of the American version.

 

I'm actually liking the European version a lot more. Feels more realistic.

[Rico]

Just finished Orange is the New Black.  Also mid-way through season 2 of Luther.

National Geographic The 90's Part 1. So far so good. I'm looking forward to the next two episodes.

Has anyone watched Tyrant?

Watched the first two episodes. I'm intrigued, and I think it could be good. Some acting/parts are a little corny, but I can see that they could go places with the storyline.

 

For FX, it was pretty graphic in parts. Like the scene between Jamal and his son's fiance. Won't say more, but for cable, that was pretty nuts.

I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes of Tyrant.  It has the feel of an HBO/Showtime series which I like but definitely too graphic for children.  Watched the first 2 episodes of The Last Ship...  I thought the plot for the show sounded really good but the acting and dialogue is almost unwatchable.  Won't be watching the 3rd episode.

Neighbors 7/10

 

Funny movie. Typical Seth Rogan humor. Zac Efron and Dave Franco are surprisingly funny and Rose Byrne is really good too. She's also really hot, which obviously doesn't hurt. Check it out if only for her gratuitous lesbian shower scene.

Season 2 of The Bridge starts tonight on FX.

Yay!

[HaloCory22]

I rolled through the 3 seasons of Sherlock over the weekend. Its pretty damn good. The chemistry between Cumberbatch and Freeman is awesome. Really keeps you guessing too.

I missed season one, can I just jump into the second without catching up on the first? Or will I be totally lost?

Not sure ADB, whether the storyline will change that much or not.

Probably best to watch season 1 first though.

FX tends to replay episodes for a few weeks, so you could power through season 1 on HULU in a week or so, and be caught up.

Worth the effort imo.

My favorite show on TV

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes- 9/10

 

This movie was unbelievable. I really liked the first one and this one didn't disappoint. Never thought I'd be so connected with apes in a movie but damn, they did a hell of a job with the character development and showing the aspects of both the human and ape sides. Highly recommend going to see this.

[Sam Sanchez]

I might go see Dawn this weekend. Had hoped to see Richard Linklater's Boyhood as I've been waiting for that come out, but doesn't seem to be playing close.

 

So Dawn it is. I've been trying to catch up on all the PotA movies recently. Re-watched the original which is still amazing, and saw Beneath the Planet of the Apes for the first time, which is nowhere near as good. Will try and push through the other original 3, plus the Burton remake which I've managed to avoid so far.

I second this.  It was a really well done movie.  Lot's of social commentaries.

I have a box set of PofA and if you have only seen the first two you aren't missing anything. They get progressively bad from there.

[Sam Sanchez]

Just saw the 3rd and 4th and I gotta say I disagree. They are nowhere near the original, but I thought part 3 was very fun in a Star Trek IV: Voyage Home, fish-outta-water- kind of way. Then part 4 was way more serious, but the way revolution was handled was interesting to watch. So far, I'd say the Beneath the Planet of the Apes is by far the worst.

Delivery Man - C

 

Mindlessly humorous enough

[katrinab]

Anyone watch Extant with Halle Berry? 

to me it was a bit hard to follow and sorta weird, but i will stick with it for a few more episodes to see how it develops

[RawDogginit]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes-  Really good!  Best one so far I think though I haven't seen all of the older ones.  Don't see it in 3D though.  Really didn't add to the quality of the movie and cost me 6 bucks more a ticket.

[Taylor]

Just saw Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Fantastic. Best movie of 2014 so far.

[RallyMo]

Apes: 9.5/10 machine gun toting chimps.

Koba has to be one of my most hated characters ever. Serkis is amazing (again) as Caesar.

I'll say the same thing I said about "Rise..." of "Dawn..." : it has absolutely no business being as good a film as it is. They have overachieved in almost every respect with both of these films.

Bravo.

Watched the first episode of The Strain on FX. This series follows a 3 book series written by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.  I am almost done with the second book now so I had high expectations for the show because the books are great.  The first episode was good but they already started making changes from the book so I'm curious to see how it plays out.
