Been Watchin Stuff

I have been playing some catch up on a few television series.  Over the holidays I caught up on Raising Hope.  One of the funniest shows I had heard about but never watched.  Its from the same people who brought us the wonderfully brilliant My Name is Earl.  Same humor different story.  I also caught up on one of my favorite shows of all time.  Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.   This show reminds me of a live action South Park where the kids are grown up.  And just yesterday I had totally caught up on The Walking Dead.  I lost complete faith in this show a few episodes into season 2.  However I stomached through it on Netflix and am I ever happy I did.  I am looking forward to it returning this Sunday.   The last 3 SNL's of the year were really good.  Paul Rudd, John Goodman, and the double whammy of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon was simply splendid.   Beckie and I watched the first two seasons of Sherlock.  Its excellent.  Can't wait for season 3 which is airing in the UK now.  I read a couple of days ago that season 4 and 5 have already been planned out.  If you have Netflix watch it.  Another really good show from England is The Inbetweeners.  One of the funniest shows I have ever watched.  After the show stopped airing they made a movie, and I hear that a sequal is on the way.  So funny.  And also on Netflix.

I watched a few movies.  Machete Kills.  It was good, had the same humor and violence of the first one, even dipping into the absurd like Desperado.  Which I watched the day after Machete.  I peeped an older move.  Suburbia.  Terrible acting and random tragedies really dated this movie.  Worth a watch but go in not expecting an Oscar worthy movie.  I watched a bizarrely entertaining movie named Movie 43.  Its basically a bunch of skits mashed together.  I laughed outloud a few times.  Its full of stars too.  Olympus has Fallen dragged on to long.  I wasn't a huge fan of it.  Lots of action though.  Wyatt and I have been watching the two Smurf movies almost everyday for more than a month.  I have to admit they are pretty good.  However I think I have seem them enough.
