sarahmichiganIt's been a long time since I did a "What I've been watching" post, and I thought it'd be fun to look back at what I loved and hated on video in 2009. This is going to get long, so I'll break it up into a few different posts.
January
TV shows:
LOVED "Frisky Dingo" Season 1. This show is so wrong and so fun.
HATED Mutant X Season 1. Worst sci-fi show I've seen in a long time. We compare everything else to this now, as in, "Well, it wasn't as bad as Mutant X."
Enjoyable: BSG Season 4, Numb3rs Season 2, Monk Season 3, Doctor Who Season 2, Little Britain Series 1, Jeremiah Season 2.
Movies:
LOVED "Futurama: Bender's Dream." Actually, we've been loving all the stand-alone feature Futurama movies.
HATED: Nothing, really, though several movies were kind of "meh."
Enjoyable: King Solomon's Mines (1950), Repo! The Genetic Opera, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Legends of the Fall (a guilty pleasure rather than an outstanding movie).
February
TV Shows
LOVED Kids in the Hall Season 4. The kids were really on this season.
HATED Earth 2. Man this was a piece of crap! Runner-up is Galactica 1980. Also a piece of crap.
Enjoyable: South Park Season 9, Smallville Season 7, The Monkees Season 1, Frisky Dingo Season 2, Doctor Who Season 3, Heroes Season 3.
Movies
LOVED Juno. It got a lot of press and awards, so this is a pretty obvious choice, but I really did like it. Runner-up, the film "Birdy" which I reviewed here.
HATED Event Horizon. J. made me watch this again, even though it sucked the first time I saw it.
Enjoyable: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), The Brother from Another Planet, Velvet Goldmine, Fierce Creatures, Dangerous Liaisons (1988), Domino.
March
TV Shows
LOVED Numb3rs Season 3. I love both the science and the relationships. Runner-up: X-Men Evolution Season 3. This is the best of the cartoon X-men interpretations, in my opinion.
HATED none, but Ren & Stimpy: The Lost Episodes was disappointing. It's mostly an excuse to inject more boobs and booze into the Ren & Stimpy universe.
Enjoyable: The Kids in the Hall Season 5.
Movies
LOVED The Bucket List. Another obvious choice, but I never claimed I wasn't sentimental!
HATED the Woody Allen movie Celebrity. I hated every character introduced in the first 10 minutes, so I never finished it.
Enjoyable: Return to Oz, Scotland PA, Sherlock: Case of Evil, True Believer, A Passage to India.
