What to Watch Tonight- Kick-Ass DVR
I am straining to pick stuff to watch tonight. I think I will be going to my DVR tonight and catch up on some shows. There is football on tonight, but it is preseason and exciting for about the first ten minutes.
Millionaire Matchmaker (Bravo)- Season premiere. I have been caught watching this with the wife. I cannot stand Patti the "matchmaker." She is superficial and shallow, but she berates her clients for being the same way. She was in a relationship, but now she is newly single. How does this qualify her to be a good matchmaker?
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel)- Anthony Bourdain is always a entertaining guy. Check this out for an easy to follow program with a affable host.
Pawn Stars (History)- Always a good show. This mostly staged show is good for a few chuckles. The guys don't seem to be as bad this time around. When the show first started, they low-balled everybody. They would act like things weren't as valuable as they were, but now they are more upfront with making a profit.
Teen Wolf (MTV)- Season finale. That came and went. Apart from the trailer I vaguely remember airing a while back, there has been no buzz about this show. I would be surprised to see a second season, but then again MTV is notorious for giving crap a lifespan way longer than what it deserves.
Netflix: Kick-Ass- A solid antihero movie about a group of individuals who fight crime while posing as superheroes. This is one of the better Nic Cage movies of the past 15 years and he could learn from it. Cage's welcome as a Hollywood leading man is worn out. He has become a parody of himself. Cage can rejuvenate his career by sticking to these kind of roles.

What to Watch Tonight- Shark Week!
Today in "What to Watch Tonight," I will be watching Netflix probably. I am not excited about anything on tonight. Is it fall yet?
The Bachelorette- Season finale. I haven't watched this show, ever. I don't know anything about this season, but my guess is someone makes false promises and the relationship won't last. Sounds about right.
Hell's Kitchen- "13 chefs compete." That is literally all I know about this show, but whatever floats your boat.
Shark Week: Rogue Sharks- SHARK WEEK! Seriously this happens once a year... I am over it. It seems to be the same thing every year. It's hard to get fired up for ten new programs, tops. The rest of 'Shark Week' is cluttered with reruns. This year's 'Shark Week' is hosted by Andy Samberg, but I will wait until the best of his hosting ends up on the Internet, then I will post those clips here.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations- Anthony visits one of the most innovative restaurants in the world, El Bulli. I will put this on my dvr and watch it later. The problem with this episode it timing. El Bulli closed two days ago and will be reopened in 2014 as a "creativity center." Good try, Travel Channel.
Netflix- From Dusk til Dawn. This classic Tarantino movie staring George Clooney shows how excellent visual effects without cgi can be in the 90's. This is a study in classic movie makeup and the beauty of George Clooney. Clooney plays one half of a pair of bank robbers who hide out a, unbeknown to them, vampire bar in Mexico. One wrong move and Clooney is fighting off the vampires with Juliette Lewis and Harvey Keitel.
That's it for tonight. Let me know what I missed.
