Wasn't I Am Legend called Omega Man with HEston the first time around?

Well, I Am Legend is ok. I don't know what people want from a mass consumption movie - but this certainly was better than anything he's done since 6 Degrees of Separation.
No great, but what are all the critics whining about?

Of course seeing it on the IMAX doesn't hurt.

And The Dark Knight trailer- yeah Heat definitely inspired that heist - but the movie is actually as good as Dog Day Afternoon. Are you ready for this? The trailer was totally plausible. Well, the first 5 of 6 minutes. And Heath Ledger has made the Joker new.

Yes - great movie, I remember it giving me the creeps when I was a kid.

Way to go with the negative reinforcement withahip.

And he couldn't even spell American properly.

Fine work withahip. You've just set back US/UK relations twenty years.

American TV is a mixed bag - some is awful, then there is The Wire, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Oz, Flight Of The Conchords, Heroes etc etc

That could not be said 15 years ago. It was all downright awfule.

HBO is to the US what BBC is to the UK - quality, big budget drama.

Ive pretty much given up on Lost and my mate is downloading Heroes season 2 and says its lost its momentum. I never got into 24 but people say thats not as good as it used to be. Yet HBO dramas mature like a vintage wine.

HBO seems to have stumbled a bit dropping shows like Carnivale and Lucky Louie and keeping some stinkers (not Flight of the Conchords, I love that show). Showtime has really stepped up with The Tudors, Weeds, Californication and my favorite show Dexter. When it's all said and done I believe Dexter will be mentioned along other shows like the Sopranos and Six Feet Under.

Heroes was getting better- but with the writers' strike don't expect much of anything for a while.

We have Dexter on FX over here...I watched season 1 but dont really rate it. I thought Journeyman was good though...

Plus why was Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip canned after one season? I think its fantastic...

Depends on who you ask. Jack has a few ideas on the subject if one is inclined to peruse his Amazon reviews (and give his review a helpful vote of course). I've never seen it myself as I pretty much avoid network TV.

Dexter season two has been a pretty intense ride with (Possible Season Two Spoilers) Doakes snooping about and the discovery of Dexter's dumping grounds in the ocean. I was getting chest pains just watching the previews.
