Basically, just soaps:
soaps: DOOL - Mon's ep. EVOL! Schanke/Constantine accidentally discovers plutonium! in the form of John Black!! There's no telling what EVOL!
Schanke will do now!... Meanwhile, Tripp and Wendy catch Stefan and Ava
after the fact, and Tripp laughably threatens Stefan (with *what*?!!). Nothing else important happened (and Stephanie and Everett doin' it was pukeworthy! [rolf!!] ).
  GH - Tues' ep. Nothing much happened here, either. Sonny suspects he has an inside mole, and Brick thinks it's Dex and Sonny has him
investigate that angle. Meanwhile, Michael wants Dex to figure out who
the mole is on his end. Anna decides to accept the police commissioner
job so she can keep investigating Curtis shooting, despite FBI Agent
Jagger wanting Anna off the case. Tracy comes clean to Martin, who
catches Lucy in flagrante with Scotty anyway; then Tracy whines to
Gregory that his influence has made her "soft"!
Didn't do much else yesterday...

I can't bring myself to watch HALO. Too many bad comments about it,
plus the way they changed things from the games. One thing I see
consistently brought up is how they made the show about the actor they
chose to play the lead role while in the games it's all about the
character of Master Chief and not so much the person inside the suit.

I've been speed watching some old movies that I've seen before as I
try to sort through my collection of what I have watched and what I
have, but haven't yet watched. That's been EVAN ALMIGHTY where God
chooses a US congressman to save a number of people and animals by
building an A.R.K. (acts of random kindness.)
I also watched ASSAULT ON WALL STREET where in a man gets creamed by
the illegal actions of a Wall Street firm and decides to take revenge
on them after their efforts end up costing him his wife. So he plans
and then proceeds to take the lives of all that he holds responsible.
Then there was BRIGHT. The story an alien baby that crash lands on the
planet and is raised by a couple of good people. Only to find that
their foundling isn't such a good boy. Especially after he starts to
develop super powers.
Then there was CONSTATINE - THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY, an animated movie
that I've seen a few times that delves into the origin of CONSTATINE
and his focus on magic.
Also rewatched a bit of DIVERGENT, a movie where a lot happens that
makes little sense. The idea is that society has collapsed but there
is this one area that has stayed protected behind a wall. They've
divided into separate groups divided upon their focus and test people
on their 18th year to place them among a group. So there's a group
called Erudite that is focused on science, another called Dauntless
that is supposed to be the group that defends the city and other
groups.
The Erudite think they should be in control instead of the Abnegation,
a group that lives a simple life and grows all the food the other
groups depend upon. The Erudite are shown to have advanced science and
yet it appears that the Abnegation group uses none of it to help grow
more food. Also the Erudite use their tech to take control of the
Dauntless group to take out the Abnegation group, but seem to believe
none of the other groups will care.
DODGEBALL - A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY - a tale of a group of nobodies who
come together to challenge the top dodge ball group. "If you can dodge
a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
GHOST RIDER - SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE
the second movie in the Ghost Rider story that doesn't have the same
feeling as the first movie. It's not horrible but while I would be
willing to rewatch the first movie I don't care about this.
RED NOTICE - This movie had a great set of actors that are let down by
a poor script. I did watch this to the end (partially for Gal Godot)
but it's not a movie I ever care to watch again. The story is based
around thieves attempting to steal three eggs made for Cleopatra.
THE NUMBERS STATION - a slow moving movie about a station located in
Ireland (I think) dedicated to reading out the numbers that go out to
radios in the area that provide a secure means of sending messages to
spies in the area. Not a bad movie but definitely not one if you are expecting an action flick.

Oh yeah, I kept trying to watch BEEKEEPER starring THE TRANSPORTER, but it won’t play. It just spins for a while, and it goes back to the main menu.

chooses a US congressman to save a number of people and animals by
building an A.R.K. (acts of random kindness.)
Bruce Almighty is on my watch list. I didn't care all that much for it
when it first came out, but I want to pair it with the Man Who Could
Work Miracles since it's essentially a remake. Just from memory I
caught some direct references. I'm curious how much I'll catch if I can >watch them back to back. But I saw Evan Almighty once and once was enough.
I also watched ASSAULT ON WALL STREET where in a man gets creamed by
the illegal actions of a Wall Street firm and decides to take revenge

I think you mean "Brightburn." "Bright" is a Will Smith movie. But
also good and worth checking out if you haven't watched it.
Then there was CONSTATINE - THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY, an animated movie
that I've seen a few times that delves into the origin of CONSTATINE
and his focus on magic.

This is on my watchlist for soon.
GHOST RIDER - SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

Yeah, it was like they were going to do a complete reboot with an all
new cast then somehow Cage came back and that plan was only partially
thrown out. It's one of those rare sequels that brings back the same
lead but ignores the first movie.
RED NOTICE - This movie had a great set of actors that are let down by
a poor script. I did watch this to the end (partially for Gal Godot)
but it's not a movie I ever care to watch again. The story is based

What did you watch?
Quantum Leap - "Off the Cuff" - Episode from last week. Ben leaps into
the body of a bounty hunter and has to transport an annoying criminal
with a heart of gold to prison while avoiding other criminals after the
two Defiant Ones.
Then there was BRIGHT. The story an alien baby that crash lands on the
planet and is raised by a couple of good people. Only to find that
their foundling isn't such a good boy. Especially after he starts to

It was one of the points I saw against the show as that was a major
point about the character. Apparently Disparu felt the producers were
making it more about the actor by showing his face all the time
instead of making it about the character. No idea how accurate that
take is as I haven't even sampled the show.

It was okay. Typical "I've got a particular set of skills" action flick.
