A good night of TV

Had a pretty good night of television last night. Actually the goodness started yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work. I turned on the TV and low and behold the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers movie was on HBO Family, and it was right at the part with the chick in the green bikini, you can read more about her here. So my morning got off to a good start.

But most of my quality watching came in the evening. I started off by catching some of the middle of The Phantom of the Opera (HBO), Emmy Rossum is great in this, even if she wasn't constantly wet as she was in Poseidon. Ciarán Hinds, Julies Caesar from HBO's Rome, plays one of the theater owners in this movie, who knew that Caesar could sing. Minnie Driver was also in the movie although according to IMDb, she didn't do her own singing which really didn't matter because there was cleavage for as far as the eyes could see in the movie.

The real gem of the evening was The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Showtime, I tuned in and caught the last half hour. Besides being a funny movie, General Zod (aka Terence Stamp) and Agent Smith (aka Hugo Weaving) star in this film. That is quite a range of characters for both of them. Check out the pictures below.

Another film I was able to catch the end of was Doom on HBO Zone. When this film first came out I thought The Rock was supposed to be the good guy, boy was I surprised when I finally saw it. Of course the ending was the best part when they started showing from the first person shooter perspective, it would not have been Doom if they didn't have that in there. Karl Urban plays very good tough guys in film, in addition to Reaper in Doom , he was also Vaako in The Chronicles of Riddick, and Eomer in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

I ended the evening buy watching Futurama (Love and Rocket). Great quote from this episode, Fry, Leela, and Bender are hiding in the shower so the Planet Express Ship cannot hear them:
Leela: "Everyone just pretend to shower."
Fry: "Just like everyday."

Well that was my night I hope you enjoyed it, I know I did.
