yeah, i didn't care for him much at first, but now he is decent on Haven. still haven't made up my mind on that series...but could be worse.

Haven kind of reminds me of the first season of Star Trek TNG. The acting is a little awkward at first but got much better as it went on. I read the show has been picked up for a second season. I like the show but I wish they didn't try to relate it to Steven King's The Colorado Kid. Other than the murder and a few characters, it has nothing at all to do with the novella. Still, I'm looking forward to another season.

anyone see this yet? i haven't, but still want to, regardless of the horrible ratings. hot chicks + scifi + aliens...that overrides most rating systems.

Gonna wait for Netflix. The reviews (both professional and from friends) weren't good.

Ditto what FP said. The wife and I saw it 2 weeks ago. It was done with a budget of $10m. I like the story, but the plot had lots of holes, and poor acting. The ending was...well...sucked. Watch it on TV instead.

roger that...i'll wait for home viewing and save the $10.

Damn, too bad. I was hoping it'd be better as I haven't been to a theater in a while now.

Tron will be out soon, so at least there is that...

ok...i saw skyline yesterday. make fun of me all you want, but i actually liked it. definitely not going to win any awards for acting or water-tight plots, but the special effects and story were entertaining. yeah, the ending was...different...cheesy...but i thought it was cool. i won't put any spoilers in here...it reminded me a bit of one of the robocop movies though.

I second that. It was a mediocre movie, but I liked it.
