What we watched live - The Town (movie)
Really good movie. The thick Boston accent made it tough at times, but it was well done, and of course, Ben Affleck gets away at the end. 4/5 stars.

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue X 2
RB1 - Dove steps on a trap in a drug house that they were led to by a guy they captured in a car dealership sting. The classic call up the cons and tell them they have won a car routine. It actually worked. Of course, there is also the side story of the older lady living in her car because the bank took here house away and she has to ask her daughter for 3 grand to stay out of jail. As well, Luke cheats! Bastard.
RB2 - The snitch from the first episode ends up dead and Lauren Holly is on the scene as Peck's Mom and police superintendent. Wow, HD is not kind to Holly. We follow a pimp and an underage girl and the girl is given protective custody, but escapes and contacts the pimp who nearly shoots her, but the force stops him just in time. Andy confronts Luke and moves out. Dove and Chris look after a non-speaking boy with rope marks, but it ends up not being abuse?

What we watched live - Big Brother.
I knew Dom would be the one going home, but the attacks on Dani were a little hard to take. Brachel need to be divided and conquered. Rachel is a small, small person. The cliff-hanger of the HoH competition always gets to me.

What we watched live - Big Brother, Love Bites
BB - Veto night, and Adam and Dom are in it to win it. But, not really, as Dom is asked to throw the comp. Brendon wins and leaves the b'ys on the block, mainly because they hope to do damage to Dani's game. I think Dom will be going home for sure.
Love Bites - I know this show is not renewed, but it comes on after BB and when we left it on last week, everyone liked it. Bed bugs was funny, the Choke and the Park Singing Proposal weren't as funny.

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue
Yeah, so we are two weeks behind on RB, so this is the one where Andy gets in trouble and Sam saves her...oh, wait, that the plot for almost all the episodes. This time though it's in a burned out laundromat. 10 grand for arson? Alright. We also learn Chris is nice because his Mom was looney. That's not usually how that works, but whatever.

Watched nothing on TV tonight as I was grocery shopping until 10:30, and then went to bed early. PVR night tomorrow though!
Sunday, July 24th
Back from holidays, so will likely be catching up on PVR and BB of course.
Watched live - BB, True Blood
BB - Adam and Dom nominated, I bet Adam does not go home. Knowing they will likely all be broken up next show, Dom is too strong a player to stick around. Really liking Dani this time around.
True Blood - Jason having Jessica fantasies, like it. Sam parents are now dead, that easily? Not likely. The witch has no idea how to reverse the spells she cast, not good for Rotting Flesh Pam, but good for Sookie as she smooches Amnesiac Eric.

What we watched on TV - Hoarders.
Can't look away, and it's not great TV. The guy with the 70 vehicles on his property they never discredited that he was indeed a brilliant inventor. Maybe he is? How else could he afford all those cars?

What we watched live - Big Brother, True Blood, 2/3 of Piranha (movie)
BB: Nominations, and of course at this point we know because of spoilers that Dick is gone, but it is not addressed on this show. This show is all about forming alliances and getting one new team to join up with the older teams. In the end Porsche and Keith get nominated. Not sure how the Dick situation will impact that.
True Blood: Insomnia Eric is hilarious, if you drank every time he said sorry, you wouldn't have made it very far. Jess glamored Hoyt, which I think will come back to bite her. Alcide is back with the psycho, dumb. Bill is hoking up with the new girl, and Jason is on the edge of death, yet enjoying a lot of female attention...if you know what I mean.
Piranha: Fun campy movie, Dreyfus was not in it for long, which was perfect. Elizabeth Shue is still hot. The shots of the Piranhas swimming solo don't make much sense as they are pack hunters...will give the stars after I finish it.

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue
Finally an episode where Andy isn't the victim, but it's her man, fiancee, I should say. Then we find out the ring he gave her was bought for the other girl. Andy doesn't know this yet. Dove and White-hair start off fighting and end up best buds by the end of the show. Awww.

What we PVR'd for later - Rookie Blue
What we watched "live" - Big Brother
Thank jeebus BB is back, and they have brought back Dick and Daniele, Brendon and Rachel (gag), and Jeff and Jordan (swoon). I think the new players will be picked off one by one, with the Golden Key saving the best 4 to play against the six returnees in the top 10. Very little chance of new hook-ups amongst the group though. I could be wrong.

What we watched "live" - Score, A hockey musical
Umm, not bad, I guess. Not what I expected. The main kid can sing, and when I looked him up I found out he was the voice of Franklin Turtle on the kids show Franklin. Blew my mind. 3/5.

What we watched "live" - Last third of Robin Hood, Hoarders
Robin Hood, what can I say...it wasn't as good as it could have been, and for a long movie it didn't have the depth it could have had. I would say 3/5. I own it on Blu-ray, so I'm stuck with it for now.
Hoarders - honest to God, it's like a train wreck, how do people live in their own shit, and by shit, I mean shit. These folk are never good looking either, is something I've noticed. They are always...let's just say...not winners?

What we watched "live" - True Blood
Another great show. Jason gets fed on by the panthers, so now he will be one too? I spose, b'y! Jessica when she turns into sexy hungry vamp is awesome. Eric tries to break up the necromancer witch coven and gets his memory erased? Is that what happened, or is this the live version of Eric before he became dead? Either way, he thinks Sookie smells good.

What we watched live - Robin Hood (2/3 of it)
So far, it's different that other Robin Hood movies. It's a pretty good r-imagining of it, and Alan Doyle has a lot of screen time. More of my review when I finish it.

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue
Andy and Whitey go undercover at a bar that sells drugs to it's patrons and it's run by an ex-cop. Tangly. Dove tries to help out a battered girlfriend and gets the short end of it, but ends up right in the end.
