Of this and that

I'm now the proud owner of Scarecrow and Mrs King S2 on DVD. Woohoo! Love the show.

Although Captain America did better in the US than X-Men First Class - $165 mil. to $145 mil. - worldwide it did worse. Overall, CA earned $316 mil. so far whereas XMFC $351 mil. If there is a CA sequel but not a XMFC one, I'll be pissed. Oh, don't get me wrong, I want both movies to have part 2, but I can see Marvel pushing CA more than XMFC, what with The Avengers etc.

Saw the trailer for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: link. The funny thing is, the music is from XMFC, the score is identical. But it'll be great to see Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy in a movie together again, they acted alongside in Stuart: A Life Backwards already.

Jason Momoa's Conan the Barbarian is a huge flop. Yeesh! It cost $90 mil. to make and over the first weekend it earned only $10 mil. *cringes* Lionsgate will be lucky if the film doesn't end in red numbers.

Touching Evil 101

I started watching the UK mystery series Touching Evil with Robson Green. Man, does the actor have beautiful blue eyes or what? Yes, yes, I'm and eye!girl :P

This is quite a dark series. I really felt for Creegan. He knew he had the right guy and his own colleagues refused to back him up even though everything he said panned out. And then the lawyers told them they didn't have enough evidence to convict the guy and didn't care one yota that he would do it again. I felt for him, I understood his frustration. I would've bitten someone's head off!

But I liked Creegan's relationship with his ex-wife and even with her new husband, they both liked him and he liked them, not something you usually see.

I'll definitely keep watching this series. The promo for 102 looked fantastic!
