Stargate: Atlantis returns to the SciFi channel tonight. I must say that when the show first started up I wasn’t a big fan. Matter of fact, I expected it to fail by the 2nd season. Thankfully, it didn’t and now it’s back for it’s 5th season.

Burn Notice season two starts up tonight on USA Network. I can’t wait!

The wife and I just finished watching Whisper, which was aired on one of the Turner networks over the weekend. If I remember correctly, it was a direct to DVD film. I’d first heard about it a while back on a Lost fan site (probably Doc Arzt’s or The Tail Section) as it stars Josh Holloway (aka Sawyer).

A mysterious person hires 4 people to kidnap and ransom a kid from what appears to be a wealthy family. As you probably expect, the kid is not your normal 8 year old. Strange sounds in the middle of nowhere, and then people start dying.

By the end, you’ll have a couple of decent plot twists, and enough of the “jump out at you” type horror. Overall, I really enjoyed this film. It’s not the best movie you’ll see this year, but it was a good horror flick. It reminded me a lot of The Omen, so if you’re into movies like that (I am!) then you’ll probably enjoy this one as well.

A trailer for the move (which is now available on DVD) can be seen at the movie’s official website, whispermovie.com.

I just saw by way of Digg that Don S. Davis has passed away.

Stargate fans would know Don as Gen. George Hammond who was a co-star on the show for seven seasons, and returning guest for the remainder of the series. He’s had been acting since 1892 and was also a stunt double on the set of MacGyver.

He will be missed.

Last night was the premier of Spike TV’s first original comedy, The Factory. And boy does it suck.

I think I may have managed to make it through 15 minuites of this train wreck. For a comedy, there wasn’t a single thing that made me even crack a smile. The filming is done in such a way that made me think I was watching a mad homemovie. Aside from being dull, the characters are idiots.

Do you have one of those guys where you work that tells something that he thinks is funny, waits for you to laugh, and when you don’t he repeats himself? The experiance I get from that multiplied by four would sum up my experiance with The Factory.

Last week Disturbed’s latest album hit the stores. As with everything they’ve done so far, it’s great! I posted this on MySpace about a month ago, and have been meaning to do so here as well. Check out the video for Disturbed - Inside The Fire.

SciFi Wire is reporting that CBS has canceled the vampire drama Moonlight. I should have expected this, as it was another show I enjoyed, which is usually a good sign that a show will be canceled.

Other canceled shows that I enjoyed: Jericho, Bionic Woman, Journeyman, The Black Donnelly’s, The War At Home.

Yesterday I saw Iron Man at the Regal Pinnacle Stadium 18. The movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time, not only was it one of the best Superhero origin movies, it was probably one of Robert Downey Jr.’s best performances. While I was thrilled with the movie, I’ve also got to say that this also happened to be one of the worst movie experiances ever.

I saw the digital showing of Iron Man. Who would pass that up, right? Well, the theater experienced issues with their digital projector causing the movie to skip and studder every couple of minutes. It studdered more than Max Hedroom… though Max was cool. Thankfully, the theater did give everyone a free pass, so I’ll probably go back and see it again later.

For me, this ranked right up there with Batman Begins. RDJ was an awesome Tony Stark, and I’ll love to see Iron Man 2.

I wasn’t the only one there who loved the movie. Despite the studdering, there was a scene that actually caused people to clap while the movie was still playing. I’d wager that they would have clapped afterwards as well if we hadn’t been ready to mob the box office.

Go see it. It’s fracking awesome!

Aww nuts (saw that one coming, eh?). According to SciFi Wire, CBS has once again canceled Jericho. According to the post, Tuesday’s episode won’t entirely close the door for Jericho, but it also won’t be a real cliffhanger. It’s still possible that the show could get picked up by a cable network (SciFi please????).

I just finished watching Jericho (S2E6). Thanks to the awful time slot, I have to watch Jericho on TiVo the next day. I’d love to watch during the airing, but you try staying up late and then getting up for work by 4 am. Anyway, I may be reading too much into this, but at the end of the episode it stated next week was the “season finale”. Season, not series. With one episode left, they should have already made up their mind if they were going to keep the show around or not.

I’m hoping they keep it around for another season or two. Yes, that’s optimistic, but I like the characters and I think they could do enough for two more full seasons.

Perhaps the lack of any official word is so they can surprise us during the episode and say “You love the show, you fought for the show, and Jericho will return in the fall for a full season.” Or maybe they’ll pull a season one stunt again, and just end it without telling anyone. Ok… I’ll try not to get my hope up too much between now and Tuesday. :p
