What are you watching?

While we're all in breathless anticipation waiting for the next episode of Doctor Who, there are actually (and surprisingly) several really cool shows that are on right now that can help us to deal with the anguish.

Tuesday night on SyFy, we have Face Off and Heroes of Cosplay. As a relatively new cosplayer, these shows are awesome tools and give great ideas for new ways to approach things. Graphics Girl and I have gotten some new and wonderful ideas about casting molds for things. I'm super excited. The only thing I'm not digging about the shows is the amount of drama...especially on Heroes of Cosplay. I'm looking for more costume and make up assembly, not for the drama.

Wednesday night has Broadchurch on BBC America. I'm LOVING this series so far. One can't help but love David Tennant, AND they have Arthur Darvill, so that certainly doesn't hurt things. I love crime dramas, and this one doesn't just resolve at the end of the episode, so that's pretty nifty. I can't wait to see what happens!

The Big Bang Theory is on TBS five days a week, I believe. That's all kinds of geek right there. TNT has reruns of all kinds of great shows like Castle, Buffy, Angel, Supernatural, Charmed, Bones, Smallville, etc.

Sunday night is new episodes of Copper on BBC. I haven't really been watching this one, but I added it because I want to get into it. I'll probably be catching up with the older ones on Netflix. So, we want to know, what shows are you watching? Comment and let us know!

The World's End Review

Graphics Girl and I went to the movies a few days ago. I was feeling awful physically, so she decided that we needed a comedy and I didn't protest since it was written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. The gang's back together in The World's End. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan are five guys who, with the encouragement of their once fearless leader, Gary King, (Pegg) have decided to go back to their hometown and do the pub crawl that they had tried back in 1990. Gary hasn't grown up at all over the years, but when things get hairy and the boys have a run in with some robots, they decide to follow his lead anyway and attempt to finish the crawl which culminates at The World's End. This movie is brilliantly done. The story plays like a comedy, but has elements of action, sci-fi, and thriller films. Once you start to realize how much your stomach hurts from laughter, they throw in a touching moment or a well choreographed fi...

Heroes in a Half Shell

A couple weeks ago, before stuff started showing up on the internet about the new Michael Bay movie, I decided to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with my boys. So, here's the jist of the story. Four tiny turtles begin a huge transformation after coming in contact with a mysterious green ooze. A rat who was once the pet of a great ninja master "adopts" them and teaches them the way of the ninja. While the turtles are studying in the sewers, there is a crime wave blanketing the city above. Robberies are on the rise and TV reporter April O'Neil finds herself a one of the latest victims. Unexpectedly, the streetlamp goes out....and when it goes back on, she's sitting next to a tied up pile of her attackers! Leave it to a reporter to get to the bottom of the story! April finds that behind this crime ring is the Foot Clan, led by the evil Shredder and he's not happy that she's onto him and he sends his henchmen to take care of ...

I'm Gonna Hack You In Two With A Hatchet

No, this week's TBT is not a horror flick. This just happens to be one of the most hilarious lines from a little known made for tv movie called Camp Cucamonga. For some reason, it's always been a family favorite. We were all able to get together this past weekend to celebrate my mother's birthday and there were several references, including part of the rap from the movie. Yup...that's just the kind of family we are. The movie was released for television in September of 1990 basically just to display a plethora of popular television actors of the time, but ended up being a quality product despite some of the cheese. The title was briefly changed to How I Spent My Summer, but now can be found again under the original title. The all-star cast included Candace Cameron (Full House) and Jaleel White (Family Matters), which covered our TGIF days. Then we have Josh Saviano and Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years. We also get to see heartthrob Chad Allen from My Two Da...
