I saw this one in the theater (just to see Eric Bana LOL). Eric did not disappoint, he's got his aussie accent going on and he swears and he comes across as crazy and I loved it.

Izzy does a run down of her favorite shows and because I'm too lazy to type out separate posts I'm going to copy her and just summarize my thoughts on my shows from this week. I'll cover all of the shows that Izzy didn't cover in her post.
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and a whole lot of other people.
Rating: PG-13
Grade: A
Following Bella Swan's ill-fated 18th birthday party, Edward Cullen and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discovers Edward's image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.
With the help of her childhood friend Jacob Black, Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.
When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward's true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she'd hoped for.
On Friday, my sisters and a few of our friends went to the movies bright and early to see this movie. We had ourselves a total girly day and we turned a movie experience into a six hour gush fest. It was great! Now, I didn't reread any of the books before watching the movie but as much as I loved the book (New Moon) when I read it, I haven't reread it once since I finished it.
Hmmm.
Anyway, I went into this movie thinking that it was just going to be a good movie but what I got was so much more entertaining then that. The movie was great, the story was great, the characters leaped off the movie screen for the most part and I really enjoyed the second installment of the Twilight movies. As much as I enjoyed Twilight, I enjoyed this one more. The experience was so worth the wait and the pain my sisters were before the movie. Buy your tickets now before it sells out, go pick up our tickets the night before so that we don't have to wait in line, hurry up and get to the theater so we don't get stuck with sucky seats, blah blah frickin' blah. Having to deal with all of that was so worth for this movie. I'm going to happily do all of this again come June for Eclipse and I hated Eclipse the book! We'll just have to see how they turn the book into the movie. I can't wait!
I kept hearing in the theater, everyone saying that Edward wasn't as attractive in this movie as Jacob was but umm, hello? He wasn't supposed to be handsome, he spends most of the book/movie depressed and tortured over not having Bella in his life anymore so of course it would make sense that he doesn't give a shit about what he looks like. As tortured and depressed and toe up as he looked in this movie, I still loved him and at the end of the movie when Bella tells Jacob, "It's always been him," I cheered (literally) in the theater and said, "Take that, Team Jacob!" Because like Bella, for me, it's always been Edward.
But, as much as I love me some Edward...I'm totally Team Paul as well. I wanted to lick Paul when I'd see him come across the screen. He is hot stuff! When Bella slapped him silly and he goes all crazy and turns into a werewolf, I had to fan myself! *sigh* I want more Paul dammit! It was good to see all of the werewolves and vamps, put a face to their names from the books but my one complaint was that they didn't spend enough time on explaining the whole werewolf legend. In the books, we get to know the whole tribe history and though it probably would have made the movie a lot longer, I missed that in the movie so while I was bummed that I didn't get much from that angle, I still enjoyed the heck out of this movie.
Wow, Dakota Fanning's role in this movie was so small and yet I thought she was fantastic! She's a great Jane and I can't wait to see more from her.
We see Edward sparkle again and we see the depth of the love that they both have for each other (Bella and Edward) and they totally rocked out and Kristen's acting ability only slightly annoyed me with her frantic blinking and the awkward breathing but for the most part, she did okay. I loved how they did the passing of time after Edward left for Bella and her dreams at night when she would wake up and start screaming, the first time she did that I laughed but after that, I remembered why she was having those dreams and so I was good after that.
Oh yeah, another thing that made me laugh like a loon was Alice's vision of Bella being turned. WTF? That is SO not Bella and Edward...that's not Bella at all. Haha.
Overall, this movie was great and I've got plans to see it two more times with different friends. I'm totally up for going to see it a third time too so that should explain just how happy this movie made me.
You should definitely go out and see this movie, I'm sure everyone will like it!
Episode Guide.
The body of District Attorney, Buckley, falls from the roof and lands on a couple’s car. He was an upstanding guy so it’s a surprise when they find out he took over a call girl operation. Seems when Buckley got divorced, his wife cleaned him out. So he took over the operation for some extra cash. Well one of the call girls decided she wanted business and pushed Buckley off the roof. She had Castle fooled though. She played the part of only joining the business to earn money for law school. Yeah right. Maybe that's what she set off to do but when Castle and the gang catch up to her, she'll looking mighty at home running the business.
One of my favorite scenes was when Castle got punched in the jaw at a bar fight (he was a bystander) and Beckett had to stop it.
HOLY CRAP...Ok pissed my pants in this epi! lol Which goes to show you that this show is egtting better and better...
Stefan tells Elena he is quitting school for his beni and hers! :*( and Bonnie still has the necklace that belongs to Caroline, but b4 that Damon, and b4 that KATHERINE, and b4 that Emily (Bonnies creepy ass witch ancestor). Emily is haunting Bonnie in her dreams. The 3 girls decide to have a seance and that results in what I think Bonnie being posessed by Emily! CREEPY ASS SHIT goes on and I was freaking out...YES Im such a puss...HELLO this is a CW show BUT STILL it freaked me out...it was a good epi!
Oh you find out that Damons reasoning for wanting the necklace back is to bring back Katherine! Omg that would be AWESOME! And omg Logan is back...you know hes a vamp and the new teach is too! And what a powerful ending! everyone crying etc...it pulled at my heart strings FO SHO! I just hope that by Stefan leaving they arent trying to have a "New Moon moment" ya know?!?! Who knows...guess time will tell...anf lastly OMG did yall check out the preview for next week? WOOWEE...are they gonna do it?!?!?! OMG I HOPE SO!
Oh look what I came across! lol I am a T Swift fan and thought this was pretty nifty.COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE E ONLINE SITE:
Paging Taylor Swift: Mystic Falls is calling you!
Or more precisely, Kevin Williamson. The man behind the CW's addictive new series Vampire Diaries reveals that he has approached Taylor to guest star on the series as a...wait for it...vampire. What would her vampalicious secret boyfriend say?
Though no deal has been struck, and Kevin fears she's "too big for Vampire Diaries now," the writer-producer is still hoping something will work out.
"I'm desperate to have [Swift] come play a vampire," Williamson says. "Wouldn't she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa Interview With the Vampire type? Oh my god, I cannot tell you how hard I'm trying to get her—I would kill to have her on the show!"
Turns out it would take a lot less than murder to get another certain pretty face who's surprisingly still tied to the show...
Later on they tell us that Kayla Ewell (Vicki) is still under contract and VERY WELL could show back up on Vampire Diaries! Wow! Now how would they work THAT in?!?!
Until next week...

Okay, seriously? This show is the bomb. I love it. I love that they don't focus solely on Rachel and Finn. I love that each show they showcase the other characters and they make the other characters more three dimensional and last night's episode was great!
I am a big Artie fan so I was excited to see him get his night to shine in the spotlight for a moment.
Moreover, I love Kurt and it was great to see him make that sacrifice for his Pops! As much as I like the adults, I love when the shows are more focused on the students because really, that's the heart of the show. Those kids and their glee club. Seriously, there was too much to love about last night's episode. There was all of the Artie goodness, his crush on Tina and Tina's kiss, Kurt and Rachel's diva-off for the solo on Defying Gravity, the Rachel and Finn moments (yay! I've missed seeing these two hanging out), seeing the depth of Puck's feelings for a totally undeserving Quinn, Kurt throwing the diva off so that he could protect his father from all of the gay bashing. My cup runneth over with all the Glee goodness from last night. I loved it!
The whole thing with Sue took me off guard. I wasn't expecting that because Sue is such a bitch but I'm glad that they humanized her. I wonder what's going to happen. I must have missed what happened with I forget the girl's name that she added to the Cheerios. Do you guys know what happened with her or what's going to happen with her? Do we know what Sue has up her sleeve?
My favorite part of the night was seeing the sensitive, trying to make everything work and be there for Quinn part of Puck. Since the beginning of the show, he's been such an ass and I was not a fan of him. Truth be told, he never even registered on my radar before the past couple of weeks and the more that we get to see of him, the more I love him. I can't get over how big of a bitch Quinn is. But even though we all know that Quinn is a bitch, how gorgeous is she now that she's not wearing that stupid ass Cheerios uniform?
I mean, look at her!
Now if only she wasn't such a bitch to both Finn and Puck then I'd probably like her better.
I really enjoyed the musical selections from last night's episode with a tie for my favorite being between Defying Gravity with Rachel and Kurt and then Artie's rendition of Dancing with Myself. Loved them both! Next week is going to be interesting to see Rachel developing a schoolgirl crush on Schuester, haha. I'm already laughing.
What was your favorite part of last night's Glee?
...these days.
I've been pretty lazy at writing up my thoughts on the shows that I watch and I don't really have an excuse other than I'm just...lazy to do it. But I thought that I'd catch up with my thoughts so that I can keep track of the shows that I'm watching and what I'm thinking on them at the moment. Starting with...One Tree Hill: Lots of things going on with the folks of Tree Hill. Nathan is in negotiations for a new contract and some hooker from a party that him and Clay threw comes back claiming to be pregnant with his kid and throws his life for a loop. Haley's on the fence about believing him especially since the girl's phone number shows up on Nathan's phone bill and you can see the toll it takes on little Jamie because he's so confused and what not. Everything washes out and Nathan comes out on top because he refuses to pay and the most unlikeliest of allies helps to clear Nathan...Dan.
Brooke is having issues of her own. Her boyfriend has been working with her model and fails to tell her that her model got naked for her boyfriend and so not surprisingly, she's pissed. Julian apologizes and they work on their problems only to have Alex (Brooke's model) keep popping up. This past week, Brooke has a pregnancy scare (well pregnacy hope is more appropriate to describe Brooke's feelings over the whole thing) and when she finds out that she's not pregnant, she's disappointed and then further disappointed when Julian leaves their date to go to Alex. It's pretty crazy to see Brooke not the confident bitchy Brooke that we used to know. I miss that Brooke and I really need her to realize her worth before she drives me up the frickin' wall. She got by without Julian before and she'll do it again and kick Alex's ass already. Julian is an idiot and Alex is a dumb broad. Brooke can do way better than the both of them.
The newcomers to the show, Clay and Quinn are going to start bumping uglies pretty soon. Right now, they're helping Clay get over his dead wife and Quinn is trying to move on from her soon to be ex husband. This story is pretty lame, especially since they both get on my nerves and I hate looking at Quinn talk, she talks funny and her eyes are dead. Meh, not excited about this storyline, I could care less about the others. These two make me miss Lucas and Peyton so much more than I let on. What makes me laugh is that Quinn looks more like she'd be Rachel's sister than Haley and she's too goody good. It gets on my nerves. Haha on Clay, the Bobcats straight pulled a Trevor Ariza on your ass...what is he going to do now?
Overall this show isn't getting me as excited as I used to be. I miss the old cast. I want the old cast back together again, all these new people just annoy me.
Next up is...The Good Wife. This show is shipping up to be a fantastic show. I love it. This is one of the few shows that I must watch AS it's showing and while I'm recording it. It's the one show that me and my friend Foti watch together. It's funny because we watched the first episode while we were chatting and we were just curious about the show, it had a good synopsis and I'm was curious enough that I remembered when it came on and after that first episode, I was hooked. I seriously heart Alicia. I think she rocks! She's so smart and she's so good at what she does that it's great to see her in action each week. I personally do not want her to get back with Peter, I want her to hump Will but I also want her to hook up with Ryan from last night's episode. I know that we'll be seeing more from him in the coming episodes (we so better after last night's ep) and I'm so excited to see so many different storylines opening up. Peter is due in court, her son is investigating the pictures that were taken of his dad and the hooker, Alicia and all of the layoffs and what not. She's got a lot on her plate right now and it's going to be a really good time trying to figure everything out and watch things unfold. Can I just say that I LOVE THE INDIAN GIRL! She's my favorite character on the show, she just flat out rocks!
And we're moving on to...Glee: This is flat out my most favoritest show of the season. I still think that Finn is dumber than a box of rocks but his dimply smile and his angelic voice makes me forget about the dim lightbulb that is his brain. Quinn still annoys the snot out of me so she's doing her job right and Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel...I really enjoyed her and Puck being together. I wanted it to last longer than an episode though, maybe they'll resurrect that storyline at a later date but dude, did you guys see that Puck tells Mercedes the truth about the real baby daddy? I'm anxious to see how that pans out because you know Mercedes got a big mouth and you know that she's gonna tell Kurt and Kurt's gonna tell Tina, who's gonna tell Artie and then it's all going to get back to Finn who is going to be confused because he still thinks that babies can be conceived in a hot tub with no penetration. Idiot!
I'm curious to see what will happen between Will and Emma too. Emma better not marry Ken because even though her eyes look like they're going to pop out of her head at any moment which makes her look like the crazy lady who had too much to drink at the company party, I still like her. I like her enough to not want her to be with Ken. Ken creeps me out more than something really creepy that I can't think of right now but you know what I mean. As dumb as I think Finn is, I think Will is dumber. How in the world does he not know that Terri is not pregnant? How in the world is she able to keep that fake pregnancy a secret from him? How? HOW WILL? Buy a clue and go where your heart is...Emma.
This show is definitely shaping up to a really great one and I couldn't be happier with it. Well, yes I can because I would be happier if they explored the Rachel and Puck thing a bit further but it's okay, I still heart this show!
Last but definitely not least....Vampire Diaries. I'll be honest and say that while I continued to watch the show, the first couple of episodes weren't as good as I thought they were going to be. I mean, it just started off really slow but things have certainly picked up and I'm super excited to see what will be happening in the coming episodes. So much has happened. We find out that Bonnie is a witch (which still, I don't give a shit about), Damon turned Vicki into a vampire and then Stefan killed her because she bit Elena and almost killed Jeremy. Damon wiped Jeremy's memory and now Jeremy is a super student and he's off the drugs, I think. Stefan and Elena are in a dark place as far as their relationship goes because ever since Elena found out the truth about what Stefan is and how bad things keep happening to the people around her, she's pumped her brakes where Stefan is concerned and she's being a whiny baby that's getting on my nerves. Caroline and Matt hooked up and the charm thingy that Damon gave Caroline is in Bonnie's hands and everytime she wears it and someone tries to take it from her, their fingers burn. It's pretty crazy but I really want to know what significance it holds to Damon. Also, one of Stefan's oldest and dearest vampire friends comes to town to celebrate Stefan's birthday with him and Damon, who is looking for a scapegoat for his crimes sets her up and stakes her ass right in front of Stefan and Elena. Whoa dang, Stefan goes ballistic and Elena is once again traumatized.
And the fun hasn't ended yet, we just haven't seen what's going to happen yet...and I for one cannot wait! Squeeeaaaaa!
Though I intended for this post to be short, as you can see I totally failed but oh well, this is what's on my mind concerning my favorite shows. These aren't the only shows that I'm watching but they're the ones that I'm obsessed with at the moment.
What are you guys watching and loving right now?
OMG!!!! Ok, click here or here for a recap.
Ok Case: guy who looks like a chicken is found dead. Turns out he was the owner of a chicken factory. His security guard killed him cause the owner wouldn’t give him gas mileage. The security’s guard wife was sick and so they moved to a different county where the wife got better.
Now to the important stuff. Angela and Wendell. I love Wendell. I think he’s yummy.
Angela and Brennan have a fight. Angela wants $1500 to save a piglet and asks Brennan to chip in. Brennan is like… naw. She doesn’t see the point in saving one little piglet. Angela gets mad and asks “Why are we even friends?” Which hurts Brennan.
Sweets think that the whole celibacy thing is getting to Angela and to maybe cut it short. She did inform Hodgins that her 6 months is almost up. Hint hint. Hodgins says sorry. She asks Wendell if wants to contribute to saving the piglet. He can’t, he has $40,000 in student loans to pay back. That he loves bacon, ribs and well in general meat. But he does give Angela $45. Angela is touched and they kiss. Really kiss.
Cam picks up on something between the two. What’s funny is Hodgin and Wendell conduct an experiment to figure out what killed the chicken guy. They ask Cam to help out and she replies, “"I don't twirl the interns. Perhaps Angela could do it..." ha ha.
Brennan, Sweets and Booth are having lunch. Booth asks Brennan what’s up. She mentions their fight. Booth says he’ll die for her, her’ll kill her for her, but he will not get involved. Brennan remarks she’s used to getting along with everyone.. or something like that. It makes Sweets about to ask “really?” But booth kicks him from underneath the table. I thought that was funny. But Booth reassures Brennan everything will be ok and there are some sweet handholding moments. Awww. Also funny, Sweets says based on Booth's comments that Booth did in fact come between two friends. Booth admitted coming between identical twin sisters. Nice.
Later Booth and Brennan are at a bar. Angela and Wendell are there too. After talking with Sweets and Booth, Brennan walks over to Angela and gives her money to save the piglet. Booth notices Wendell’s fingers brush against Angela’s shoulders and Booth smiles.
Ok.. I like Angela.. and I don’t blame her for being attracted to Wendell but I’m still confused about how her and Hodgins could just break up like that. And is she going after Wendell because he showed interest? If that’s the case, shame on you Angela. Someone on one of the discussion board said it best:
he turned angela down because she wanted sex not a relationship. thats angelas problem, maybe when she destroys wendell shell see the error of her ways
It makes sense. So again, we'll see what happens.
I’ve been slacking. I know. Sorry people! Here is the rundown on my thoughts so far.
