Reviews of some of the things I watched in March:

Over the Hedge

A cute little animated movie. I don’t really have much to say other than that I hadn’t heard to many positive things about this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. As long as these movies make me laugh, I’m pretty satisfied, and this one got more than a few giggles out of me. And you gotta love any movie that pairs William Shatner and Avril Lavigne as father and daughter.

Jeremiah

I’m about halfway through the first season, and it’s going slow. It’s just now starting to get interesting for me. I initially started watching because Sean Astin shows up in season 2, and I figured I wanted the whole story, not just his scenes.

I don’t think Luke Perry is the most versatile actor ever, so giving him the lead in a two-man-show kind of puzzles me to be honest. Other than that it is an enjoyable show, and it’s started coming into it’s own, so I’ll definitely keep watching till the end.

As post-apocalyptic future TV-series go I enjoyed Dark Angel a whole lot more. It’s weird that Jeremiah that is a newer show feels rather dated compared to Dark Angel.

Entourage ses 2

I wasn’t a big fan of season 1, but figured I’d give season 2 a shot since I liked two of the characters. I still think Vince is a little wuss, and Drama annoys the hell out of me.

Eric ends up like kind of a father for the whole group making sure they don’t do anything stupid, and half the time I want him to just let Vince and the boys crash and burn, so they’ll learn something.

To me the fun part of the show is Ari, he is the main reason I keep watching, even though he’s a dick.

Having said that I felt season 2 as a major improvement to season 1, which is why I continued on to…

Entourage ses 3

Apparently they’ve only aired half of this season, but thus far I am pleased about Vince taking a little more control, even if he’s shot himself in the leg this time. I feel they’re laying to much of the blame on Ari for the route his career has taken so far this season.

I still think Drama is a douche, but props have to go to Kevin Dillon for playing that part so well!

I haven’t decided if I’ll keep watching. On one hand it’s kind of fun to have a show that just lasts 30 minutes, and deals with the crap that goes on in Hollywood, on the other I have very little sympathy for these people, and I’m not exactly rooting for the main character to have a blossoming career. We’ll see.

A Walk to Remember

I’ve had this film stored for a while, but put of seeing it, as I’m not a big fan of chick flicks, and for some reason I thought it was a film about teen-pregnancy.

I finally decided to sit down and watch it and was actually very pleasantly surprised. It’s not a very original story, and I guessed what the twist would be a while before it was revealed.

But the story told in a very sweet and honest way, and the actors do a very good job with their roles. I didn’t feel like the movie took itself to seriously, like most movies like this tend to do. The moviemakers just wanted to tell this story, and let the viewers take what they wanted form it.

Actually happy I finally found the time to watch it.

X-Files

I’ve only seen the first three episodes of season 1 this far. I’ve never been a big fan before, but it keeps coming up so I’ve borrowed the first season form isil80 and am giving it a go to see how I feel about it now.

It’s funnier than I remember, which is a plus. Will continue watching.

Flushed Away

I got this on DVD for my birthday, and of course the main reason I wanted it was because Hugh Jackman had the main role. And it was a big plus for me that Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Shane Richie had parts as well.

It’s a very simple film, but also highly enjoyable. I laughed a lot. It’s very sweet, and the slugs are really funny.
