Ghost Adventures [6x09]

Ghost Adventures [6x09] Fort Horsted

TV com rating- [unavailable]
RJG Rating-8

In this episode ,the GA crew investigate Fort Horsted ,used during World War 2 and situated in England.But its dark history goes way before the WW2.

From the very first the whole episode had a chilling effect that was missing from recent episodes.The usual evidences such as the spirit box records and EVP's were captured ,but nothing substantial.

TDKR makes its Grand Debut on a Dark weekend

#1-As expected TDKR stole the show and made its debut at #1 with a solid $160million ,which is the 3rd best opening after Harry Potter 7 and Avengers.From the details available ,TDKR made 88million overseas ,bringing its total collections to $249million.

Even though the movie went off to a superb start with $30.6 million in its midnight run, the Colorado tragedy which left 12 dead ,seems to have slowed the Knight.But considering TDKR doesnt cater to 3D market like the other 2 ,TDKR set the record for the highest 2D Opening Weekend.TDKR made a strong 80million tying up with Avengers on Day 1 ,but after Day 1 the excitement dried up.

#2-Ice Age 4 fell by 50% to $20million in its second week.

#3-Amazing Spiderman fell even more sharply ,by 60% ,and just made $10million in its 3rd week.As of now it has made $228million in the US.

#4- Ted made $10million in its 4th week.It has been the summer surprise hit much like The Hangover.

#5-From the top 10 ,Brave was the only one that had a fall less than 50%.Brave made $6million this week falling just by 45%.

Anger Management [1x05]

Anger Management [1x05] Charlie Tries to Prove Therapy is Legit

TV com Rating- -
RJG Rating- 5.5

Charlie finds a new girlfriend ,but her beliefs worry him a bit.

The episode was overall dull.The cameo from Denise Richards was the main highlight.The jokes were not too sharp and most of it centered on the real life of Charlie.

My general review of the show is done with this episode.After 5 lukewarm episode, Anger Management just isnt that funny.Charlie does his best ,but he looks too tired and exhausted and doesnt give the audience any energy or reason to watch the show.
As for the jokes ,AM tries pretty hard to churn up some good ones ,but the best are based on Charlie's real life.For ex:This episode the main reason Denise Richards was the shows highlight is because shes Charlie Sheen's ex in real life.The show just doesnt have its own comedy.Theres plenty of adult matter (bit more than 2 and a half men), but that too turns to be mostly stale.The cast other than Charlie are too weak to stand on their own.
