TV Mid-term Report Card

2010-10-12T14:37:00.000-07:00

Here’s a brief update on all the shows I’m watching. And there are a few. LOL

Monday

Gossip Girl: When the previous season ended, Serena was seeing Nate but had kissed Dan. Then she jetted off to Paris with a broken-hearted Blair, who didn’t make it in time to declare her love to Chuck (who was stabbed). So now this season, Dan thought he was Georgina’s baby daddy but turns out he wasn’t. Yay. And he’s back with Vanessa. But she’s uber jealous of that kiss with Serena and doesn’t think Dan’s over her. And Vanessa just got humiliated when Nate’s new chick (who’s brother is in jail and hates Serena, so she’s trying to set her up to fail) claimed Vanessa emailed Serena’s professor a scandalous proposal (sex for grades basically). Blair chased off Chuck’s Eastern European “nurse” and now they’re again in a contest of wills. Jenny has been thankfully absent. But I saw in the preview she’s back next week. Boo.

Hoarders:
This is the A&E series. TLC also has a series but it’s a bit different. This is the original series and I like watching it because it motivates me to clean up afterwards. LOL I hate when people have dead animals among all their junk though. Boo.

Tuesday

Glee: I don’t know about you guys, but I’m kind of underwhelmed this season so far. I continue to love Sue. I need more Brittany and Santana! More Puck!
No Ordinary Family: This is a new show, with the 3rd episode airing this week. I think it’s an interesting concept and there is some humour in there. I will continue to watch it to see how it goes.

Wednesday

Hell’s Kitchen: Sabrina needs to go. Like yesterday.
America’s Next Top Model: I don’t know why I keep watching this show. My ultimate guiltiest pleasure.

Hellcats: The new cheerleading drama on the CW, it’s not horrible. :P

LA Ink: I miss all the drama around hiring a new shop manager. All the drama now is on Cory working at a different shop and Aubrey showing up there. Meh.

Thursday

Vampire Diaries: I want Bonnie to die. Katherine being back is awesome. More Damon too.

Nikita: This is a new series starring Maggie Q as a former assassin who is out to get the organization that trained her and killed her fiancé. Kick ass heroine.

The Office: I love Dwight. Jim and Pam are still cute. Still a good show.

Grey’s Anatomy: Christina and Owen got married. She freaked out b/c she was forced at gun point to operate on McDreamy. Meredith finally told her man she had a miscarriage.

Friday

Blue Bloods: This is the new family/cop drama starring Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg. I really enjoy it. There’s drama, there’s a secret society, there’s crime to be solved. It has it all. It’s good.

Saturday

Saturday Night Live: New cast members. Only 3 shows have aired so far and I have to say, Brian Cranston’s show was my fave so far, over Jane Lynch’s gig.

Sunday

Mad Men: There’s only one episode left. I’ve been kind of meh this season.
Sister Wives: This is a new TLC show about a polygamous family in Utah. I have so many issues with the whole set-up. Elch. And yet, I still watch it. LOL

TV: Vampire Diaries, Season 2 Premiere

2010-09-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

She's baaaaaacccckkkkk....

Man, as evil Katherine is...I like her. She's the complete opposite of Elena and I think that Nina is doing a bag up job of portraying both characters. Katherine brings female sass to the show and it goes well with Damon's brooding sense of humor.

I freaking love the both of them.

The Vampire Diaries is back and better than ever, I think. I thought last night's episode was a real bang up season premiere and it set up a lot of storylines that I'm anxious to get more from. The episode started with a bang and ended with a great big giant KABOOM as well.

And I ate it all up.

We have about six TV's in our house and one of the main shows that we've been looking forward to (besides Jersey Shore) is The Vampire Diaries. We all watch this show. It's sexier than Twilight and I'd bang Stefan AND Damon long before I'd bang Edward and it's really just a good freaking show.

There were highs for me and the highs were seeing Damon and Stefan bickering all over again. Damon telling Stefan that he tried to steal his girl (again) and smarting for a fight that Stefan didn't give him because he knows that Katherine is trying to tear them apart so that she can have her little fun and Stefan won't give her the time of day. But then again, Stefan is the all perfect one. Everyone wants Stefan. That's what Katherine used against Damon and I hated to see that it worked just a tiny bit.

But it's all going to add to the drama that will pour forth throughout the season and man but I can't wait!

While I was watching the show last night, I realized something. I'm Team Damon. I love that Damon is far from being perfect. I love that he always has something smart and asshole-ish to say and I love that he just doesn't give a damn about anything...except Elena.

And I love how they're showing what is shaping out to be a really complex relationship between Elena and both brothers. My heart broke for Damon when he asked Elena why she was surprised that he kissed her and she said she wasn't, she was surprised that he actually thought she'd kiss him back.

Oohhh, it was the perfect dig to cause Damon to lose a bit of his control and kill Jeremy. Holy goodness, when he broke Jeremy's neck, I thought HOLY CRAP but alls well that ends well because in my heart of hearts, I know that Damon knew that Jeremy was wearing John's ring.

The lows of the show can all be wrapped up in one person. Bonnie. I hate that hypocritical bitch. I hate that she can hate Damon for doing what's natural to him and then not see how her not coming through on the spell hurt a lot of innocent people. Like it's only okay for her to hurt people. Ugh, Caroline's in the hospital because of that stupid tramp and I can't freaking stand her. I was so hoping that Katherine would kill her but Katherine didn't hear my pleas because Bonnie lives to see another day.

Damn.

Tyler is going to get a lot of screen time this season, I just know it with him being a werewolf and all. I'm mighty curious to see how he finds out about his condition and what the heck kind of drama that whole discovery is going to bring to the show because you know drama is waiting to unfold around that hairy corner.

His Uncle Mason is a freaking hottie and I can't wait to see if he goes after Jenna too. With so many older hotties coming into the mix and only Jenna around that's there age, it's going to be funny to see it all come together.

The way that the show ended brought on a lot of questions, so Caroline's a vampire now? What the heck is Katherine doing back in Mystic Falls and what could she possibly want revenge for with the Salvatore brothers? And what the hell kind of idiotic crap is Damon going to get himself into? So much to look forward to and this season premiere did nothing to relieve my questions...the writers did their job extremely well because last night's episode of The Vampire Diaries left me a greedy wench because I want more and more and more.

Man but it's going to be a good season, I can already feel it. Bring on the vamps...and the wolves! Yay us!

Until next week...

Can You Fist Pump Like a Champ?

2010-08-06T09:57:00.000-07:00

One of the few things that I was looking forward to this summer was the return of my favorite Guidos and Guidettes from last season's smash reality hit, Jersey Shore. Last season, I was one of those people that swore I was not going to watch that show and overheard some clips and had to see for myself...and then became hooked.

These people are crazy. Straight up loony bin material. And I effing love it. I can't believe I'm going to share this with you guys but well, for me, this is the kind of show that I can't watch on DVR. I have to watch it when it's showing to the world. LOL.

It's so bad, it's good and I don't feel bad about my enjoyment of the show because there is so many other people out there (*cough* Ames *cough* *cough*) that enjoy it right along with me so if I'm dumb than I can comfort myself knowing that at least, I'm not the only one.

Now, to properly showcase my love of these fine Guidos and Guidettes, I'm going to have to introduce all of the cast members of the show. So here we go.

The Guys!

Mike "The Situation": Mike is the self appointed Man of the House. Last season, he was the douchebag guy who brought home all of the grenades that beat up Snooki and he was also the guy that stole his boys girls when they went to the bathroom (poor Vinny) and he was also the guy that was running around with Sammi behind Ronnie's back. He did plenty of things that made me hate him, like his remarks to Snooki after she wanted some rolls? Ooh, I wanted to punch him in the face and when JWoww finally does punch him, I laughed my ass off. It was great.

Ugh, last season I hated Mike but this season, he's not so bad. This season, you can tell he's still thinking he's the shit but I'm used to it now so he doesn't bother me too much. Some of my favorite lines from him are:

"G.T.L. baby. Gym, Tanning, Laundry."

"You can hate on me all you want to, but what can you possibly say to somebody that looks like Rambo, pretty much, with his shirt off."

"Everybody loves me, babies, dogs, ya know, hot girls, cougars. I just have unbelievable mass appeal."

"Angelina was like a half-ass firecracker. It just fizzled out real quick and made a loud noise."

"I’m like chill out, Freckles McGee."

"Basically, one of these girls was definitely more cuter than the other and it happened to be my girl & Pauly D was with “the grenade.” When you go into battle, you need to have some friends with you so that just in case a grenade gets thrown at you, one of your buddies takes it first. "

"I was thinkin’ heavy fire and I didn’t wear my bulletproof vest and I just don’t know if I’m gonna make it. "

Seriously, can you not see why I watch this show? Comedy, pure and simple.

Next up is Pauly D.

Pauly D is the most laid back person in the entire house, well him and Vinny. He doesn't need drama to have a good time. He's the Situation's wing man but he holds his own on the women end. Last season, he was my second favorite guy in the house. This season is no different. Last season, we watched as he laughed and danced his way all over Jersey Shore and then we watched as a girl he was digging, Danielle stalked the hell out of his life and one of my favorite moments from last season was when Pauly D got mad and cursed Danielle out on the duck phone. It was priceless. I loved it. Pauly D is really chill until you piss him off and then you're like WTF? Where did this Billy Bad Ass come from?

Love him.

My favorite quotes from Pauly D are:

"Don’t let the spike hair fool you, like I’m not a bitch."

"We’re beatin’-up-the-beat, that’s what we say when we’re doing our fist pump. First, we start off by banging the ground, we’re banging it as the beat builds ‘cause that beat’s hittin’ us so we’re fightin’ back, it’s like we beat up that beat."

"My hair didn't even move an inch and I was in & out of the water. My hair's windproof, waterproof, soccerproof, motocycleproof. I'm not sure if my hair's bulletproof, I'm not willin' to try that."

"It's so hard to find a good man these days. That's why I date women."

"Through the scuffle Snooks gets hit in the face, again. Poor girl… she needs to take some karate classes or somethin’. She needs self defense. Somebody’s got to teach her how to fight or duck."

The Situation: I like my clothes like my women.. options.
Pauly D: You like your girls like your underwear.. dirty.

"I just met this girl and she already stalks my whole life."

I frickin love this kid. LOVE him!

Next up is my favorite guy of the bunch, Vinny.

Vinny is the other laid back guy in the house. He doesn't surround himself with drama but sometimes, drama finds him....like when they were partying it up at the club and he's hooking up with some chick on the dance floor, goes to the bathroom and comes back to find The Situation hooking up with his girl or hooking up with another chick who just so happens to be the bosses girl, oh man was that funny and then there was the time when he hooked up with Mike's sister (The Situation), oh man Vinny sure did bring the laughs but it was his fist pump that had me laughing and it was in his confessionals that I laughed a great deal.

In short, Vinny is the bomb!

My favorite Vinny quotes:

"Guys with the blow-outs and the fake tans, and guys that wear lip-gloss and makeup, those aren't guidos, those are retards."

"I hear the music, I start fist-pumping, I start dancing, I’m pulling girls on stage and now.. Vinny came out to play."

(on G.T.L.) "I don’t follow those rules at all… I can see if it was Basketball, Pool, Beach."

(on JWOWW’s punch) "The power that was behind it, it was something outta a video game."

(on Mike's sister) "I'm think that she might have a crush on me, so [insert creepy eyebrow move] ... it's gonna be a wild night."

"Snooki’s outfit is crazy, she looks like a birthday cake, she’s all decorated, dressed up, with the pink, boobs all out up in her face, I guess she wants to go out with a big bang, literally."

Lastly, we have Ronnie.

I don't really care for Ronnie. So I don't have much to say on him. He got with Sam and they spent the whole of last season, arguing or beating people up and blah blah frickin' blah. That's Ron.

I don't even think I have a favorite quote from Ronnie because I cared for him, that much. I do however crack the hell up every time I see him dance. Such a creeper. And this season, on top of being a creeper, he's also a douche...a creepy douche, that's him.

Moving on to the girls...

First, there's Sammi. Don't care for her, all she did was cry and sneak around in the first season and though she's the prettiest girl in the house, she's also a creeper so I guess her and Ronnie deserve each other.

This season doesn't promise very much from Sammi other than she's pining over Ronnie since they're broken up and J Woww is going to kick her ass. Truth be told, I can't wait for that episode. Bring on the J Woww ass beatin'. Haha.

Next up, Angelina.

She's the self proclaimed, "Kim Kardashian of Staten Island" and that couldn't be further from the truth. Kim is pretty and Angelina does not have a pretty bone in her body. On top of that, she's this trashy whore bag who was bangin' a married guy last season and then had the nerve to be pissed off at Pauly D last night when he was making out with an AKA married chick (she's really dumb, she is), I think she meant the girl who FYI is a married chick but she said, "The girl who AKA a married chick" Dummy.

She's also the one that showed up last season to the house on the first day with her laundry in trash bags. So classy, huh? That's Angelina for you. Dumb and classy trash.

J Woww.

I'm scared to say anything mean about J Woww because she can kick my ass. The Situation has seen her at the gym and has been on the receiving end of one of her punches and it wasn't nice. So J Woww is all that's right in this world, haha.

Don't let her catch you calling her girl Snooki fat cause she was beat your ass. She punches hard. And if she asks you to walk her to the room, you better get off whatever girl you're with and take her because once you get inside that room when the night is over, you're done for. Just ask Mike, hahahahahahaha.

J Woww should be named Scrappy because she's forever kicking someone's ass, be it a girl or a guy. She just don't give a damn because she's gangsta. I love it!

Last up, is Snooki.

My frickin' favorite part of the entire show. Snooki is the business. I freaking love her. She makes no apologies for who and what she is. She tells it like it is and man can this girl not win a fight to save her life. She's probably the main reason, outside of Pauly D and Vinny, why I watch the show. I just have to see what Snooki will do next.

Last season, she was single and ready to mingle...with every living Juice Head Guido on the Jersey Shore. She struck out a lot of times but man was it funny to watch. When she met that Cowboy, I thought it was cute and was happy for her until she tripped and that ended but man, watching Snooki in action is pure comedy. Never a dull moment, that's for sure. She's just a tanned, pickle loving guidette who rocks!

My favorite Snooki quotes (there are plenty):

Caller: Can I talk to Angelina?
Snooki: NO! She died.

"I don’t go tanning tanning anymore because Obama put a 10% tax on tanning. I feel like he did that intentionally for us, like McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning.. because he is pale and he would probably wanna be tanned."

"I am tanned; I like being tanned, BITCH!"

"When I woke up I was like what did I do last night? Like what did I do? I fucked up... story of my life."

"I was pissed off, like right when I fuckin' met a guy and I wanted to get his number and hang out with him we had to leave, just my luck."

"JWOWW f*ckin' beat a bitch up tonight. I tried to get in it but I couldn't."

"I'm fat [fake cries] I'm about to eat a sausage right now. F*CK YOU ALL!!! HAHA!"

(on her would be hook-up) "He friggin' jumped out of the car like it was on f*ckin' fire."

"I’m not trashy, unless I drink too much."

"I’m not pissed off that they put pickles under my bed as a joke, but I’m pissed off that Mike and Pauly wasted two pickles."

Oh goodness, this show freaking makes me laugh so much and last night's episode was the best I've seen yet. Between Angelina and Snooki going at it, Angelina and Pauly D going at it, The Situation saying, "That’s how she is .. a little bit of alcohol & throughout the night it gets worse & worse & worse, until voilà, Mrs. Cockblock of the Century comes out & that’s who she truly is." about Angelina last night, man it was a night that had me in fits of giggles for the entire night.

If you guys aren't watching this show, you're not laughing enough...trust me, my sides are still hurting from all the laughing I did last night.

Snooki rules!

Pretty Little Liars: The Madness Begins.

2010-06-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

Around the YA blogosphere, talk about the new ABC Family Show, Pretty Little Liars has been rampant. Everyone has been talking about it and blogs like Alea from Pop Culture Junkie and The Story Siren have even participated in a fun game put on by ABC Family to celebrate the series premiere and all of the activity and buzz around the internet definitely had me curious to see how the show would be.

This series is based on the Pretty Little Liars series written by YA author, Sara Shepard. I found the following blurb about the TV show on the ABC Family website.

Check it out:

Rosewood is a perfect little town. So quiet and pristine, you'd never guess it holds so many secrets. Some of the ugliest ones belong to the prettiest girls in town -- Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily, four estranged friends whose darkest secrets are about to unravel.

One year ago, Alison, the Queen Bee of their group, disappeared and the girls swore they'd never tell what really happened that night. They thought their secrets would bond them together, but just the opposite is true. Then again, who's to say what the truth is in Rosewood. It seems everyone in town is lying about something.

Now, as the mystery surrounding Alison's disappearance resurfaces, the girls begin getting messages from "A," saying – and threatening – things only Alison would know. But it couldn't be Alison. Could it? Whoever it is, they seem to know all the girls' secrets, and seem to be watching their every move. The girls are friends again, but will they be there for each other if their dark secrets come to light?

After the show ended, I nodded. It was pretty good. I mean, the whole teacher/student thing is kind of iffy to me but I'm curious enough about the show to keep watching. At least for the next little while. I'm not sure if this is a show that I'll continue to watch because I can see myself losing interest but for now, it's caught my attention and I'll be tuning.

Did anyone else watch this show? What are your thoughts?

Drop Dead Diva: Season Two is Under Way.

2010-06-15T14:39:00.000-07:00

So Season Two of Drop Dead Diva is finally under way and I can't be more excited for it.

Last season, we left off with Jane meeting her husband for the first time since the accident. I spent the entire fall, wondering who the hell that guy was and where the hell has he been for all these months since Jane came out of the hospital.

Well, come to find out, she married him to save his life to give him health insurance because he had leukemia, I think it was. It was some kind of life threatening disease and he wouldn't get treatment if she didn't marry him and get him the health care that he needed.

How nice is Jane?

Over the course of the episode, Jane is trying to juggle meeting her husband and finding out what he wants, what happened between them (because of course, she doesn't know) and keeping her husband and her boyfriend, Tony away from each other. Its kind of hard because Tony is representing her for her disbarment hearing/trial and things just got really sticky.

In this episode, we see Grayson softening toward Jane on a totally platonic plane. We see this by the way that he stands by Jane when she's up for disbarment. He goes to all of her hearings and he tells her that he supports her. He even went to Parker and told Parker that the firm should stand behind Jane because what Jane did was ethically sound. Parker didn't go for it at first but he came around just like I knew he would and I liked him at the end of the day.

Kim testifies against Jane and that got my blood boiling because who the hell is Kim? Ugh, she gets on my nerves. I'm really glad that whatever was between her and Grayson is over with because they haven't really been seeing much of each other.

This season promises to be just as fantastic as the first season was and I cannot wait for more Jane goodness. I'm loving getting to see Stacy and Fred again. I'm loving how this episode ended and I look forward to more from Tony and Jane...and then Grayson and Jane too.

Do you guys think that Grayson and Jane are going to eventually end up together or will it be Tony and Jane? Who do you want her to be with?

Wait...is anyone else out there watching Drop Dead Diva with me? Let's talk!

new releases on DVD and blu-ray

True Blood - Bad Blood (Season 3 Epi 1)

2010-06-13T19:36:00.000-07:00

PREMIERE TIME!!!

In this epi Sookie turns to Eric to help find the missing Bill! (We get to see Eric banging some chick lol YIKES) Bill was taken by some punks and while riding in the car, trapped and half drained he finally gains control of the situation and kicks booty. Half broken Bill chills underground and waits out the sunlight. Like I said Sookie goes to Eric to see if he has Bill, which he doesn't but you do find out he was going to attempt it but got beat to the punch. Eric says hell try to find him but Eric being typical Eric its only to help himself. Sophie is pushing Eric to sell more V but Eric is nervous b/c Bill is the only vamp that knows of the arrangement. Poor Eric is stuck between a rock and a hard place =/

In the mean time Tara knows her man got shot but she thinks Andy (the cop) did it...it was Jason though and now Andy is covering for him. Jason has a really funny part in this epi...lets just say he cant seem to...rise to the challenge! ;) Oh and Taras mom comes to Taras aid but fails her once again by not keeping a close eye on her and Tara tries to down loads of pain meds to kill herself! UGH! OH and I forgot since Sookie helped Taras boyfriend (dang whats his name...it was something weird...corn...bacon?!?! lol idk) get his "murderous" memory back she hates Sook! =(

The epi ends with Bill facing off with some weres...bout it. Oh and Jessica killed someone. lol

So this epi was pretty good and I personally was happy to get back into the swing of things! =) I can tell theres gonna be a load of things going on this season. So what were yalls likes and dislikes?!?! Did it live up to your potential?

And I CAN NOT WAIT till we get to see Alcide! Speaking of Alcide I found this pic fro yall!

Until next week enjoy! ;)

Movie Review: Kick Ass.

2010-05-17T10:54:00.000-07:00

Starring: Aaron Johnson, Clark Duke, Evan Peters, Lyndsy Fonsesca, Christopher Mintz Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Cage.
Rating: R, for strong violence, pervasive language, sexual contact, nudity and all of that.
Grade: A

Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy, decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl and her father, Big Daddy.

Last night, Chelsea and I were the only ones home so we opted to go and see Kick Ass. The last movie that just me and Chelsea went to see was The Hangover so we wanted to see another movie that was sure to keep us in fits of laughter so we chose this movie.

We were not disappointed because this movie had us laughing from the beginning to the end. I'll be honest and tell you guys that I went into this movie thinking it was going to be one of those stupid movies but this movie actually had a plot that I could get behind. It reminded me of a lighter version of Ninja Assassin.

I gotta say that as much as I adored Kick Ass, for me, it was totally about Hit Girl. She was the bomb! Totally awesome and even though she had the worst potty mouth for someone her age, I still adored her. It was good to see Auggie again (from Role Models), I've missed him and his whipering eye whispering self, haha.

This movie is not suitable for young viewers but for us adults, it's great entertainment. I totally recommend this movie if you're in the mood for something kick ass and totally funny.

Movie Review: Iron Man 2

2010-05-09T14:36:00.000-07:00

Movie description from Yahoo! Movies:

The world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts, and James "Rhodey" Rhodes at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johanssen, Sam Rockwell

I went to see this on Friday night, opening night. I really enjoyed it! Not quite as much as the first one, but pretty damn close!

Tony Stark is getting poisoned by the palladium core in the arc reactor in his chest. Knowing his blood toxicity increases every day and with no cure in sight, Tony is kind of getting wild. He makes Pepper the CEO while he does his own thing. On top of his personal issues, there's the government wanting the Iron Man suit. Tony is not going to give it to them and boldly states that the technology that other weapons makers are developing won't catch up with his technology for at least 10 years. But then he has an enemy, an enemy that sets out to destroy Tony the way Tony's father destroyed his family. And he the original plans for the arc reactor. And his very public unveiling of this technology sets Tony reeling - and people everywhere are throwing his own words back at him.

Like I said, I enjoyed Iron Man 2. It sets Tony up as this world hero that brings in an era of peace and how he's brought down by negative opinions and a truly nasty villain. Worse is the seeming defection of his good friends, Rhodes and Pepper.

The humor is still there though. Even though Tony goes to a dark place, there's still a wittiness to this film that makes it more than a simple action adventure, shoot 'em up movie. A Scarlett Johanssen in a tight black outfit. LOL

I definitely recommend seeing Iron Man 2, it sets off the summer to a good start and it's almost as enjoyable as the first one.

Friday Night Lights - Episode 1, Season 4

2010-05-09T14:05:00.000-07:00

~image from NBC

It's no secret that I'm a Friday Night Lights fan. I love this show, and again I have to give a big thanks to Wena for introducing it to me!! Wena's the best, isn't she? :P

So Season 3 ended with Coach Taylor losing his head coaching position with the West Dillon Panthers and taking the head coach position with the East Dillon Lions. He lost his job because he pissed off the up-and-coming quarterback's dad, who is rich and bribed everyone he could to get his son's personal coach the head coaching job. Nasty fella, I know we haven't seen the last of him. And the town got split - the haves and the have nots, basically. East is poor, West is not. And this is not more apparent then when Coach Taylor sees his new field. It's a dust bowl. The locker room is a mess, with a freaking raccoon living in one of the lockers. LOL And his new team is a mess. They resist his authority, they talk back, they don't listen. So Coach cleans house - and he's left with a rag-tag crew that want to make him proud. One of them Vince, a young man in trouble with the law, and being on the football is his last chance before juvie.

Tim Riggins, basically in his first day of college quits. He doesn't get a warm reception at home because his brother's new wife is pregnant, and basically tells him there's no room for Tim. Tim gets drunk and hooks up with a bar tender.

Matt Saracen, instead of going to Chicago's Art Institute sticks around at Dillon Tech - where the art teacher puts his art down. He delivers pizza on the side and JD, the new quarterback for the Panthers insults him and they fight at a party.

Julie, Coach's daughter, well all her friends got transferred to East Dillon and she wants to join them. Despite the fact that Tammy (her mom and principal of West Dillon) say that East Dillon is equal to WD, her parents don't want her attending East Dillon.

First Friday night game, Coach forfeits during half-time. His team has taken a beating and the players are injured. How is this decision going to play out?

So that's Episode 1 of Season 4. I can't wait to see how this season plays out!

We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

The plot of avatar is a combo of Pocahontas, Dances With Wolves and from what I hear, Fern Gully ( I have never seen the movie). You have Jake Sully, a human who through some machine, is placed in a Na’vi’s body. He rescued from a female Na’vi. He’s taken to her tribe. She teaches him their ways. He falls in love with her, her people and culture. He helps to save their people from the human destruction.

The plot is very predictable. You know he’s going to help them. You know he’s going to bring down the bad guys and you know he’ll find a way to be with blue chick forever and ever. I didn’t think much of the story. My sister and I agreed at certain parts there was some over acting. Like when what’s her name is upset. I’m like.. dude, calm down.

The special effects were awesome though. The way the planet was, the floating mountains, the plants and flowers were all beautiful. That would have been cool to see in 3D.

Other than that the movie was just all right.

Reminder: Friday Night Lights, Season 4

Bones- Death of the Queen Bee

2010-04-16T19:37:00.000-07:00

The Case

Booth and Brennan are investigating a murder in her home town. And what do you know; it’s high school reunion time. The murder is like a murder that happened during Brennan’s time in high school. And it turns out once again it’s one of Brennen’s class mates. Booth and Brennan pose as husband and wife to not scare of any of the other classmates.

We learn that Brennan was bit of an odd duck. Her BFF was the janitor, who is played by Freddy Kruger. I've never seen the Nightmare on Elm Street movies so Joey had to point that out to me. He used to find dead animals for Brennan to dissect. When they talk with Mr. Buxley, his office/lair is full of different sharp objects and he’s eating ribs. The victim was missing a couple of ribs I believe. I knew it wasn’t him because Mr. Buxley was just too obvious.

At the actual reunion we learn it was the victim’s BFF… I forget her name. But the victim and the murderer had a pact. They killed the girl during their senior year to break her up from the main man on campus. The victim would get her time with him. Then the murderer would get her time. The victim ended up marrying the guy and wouldn’t give him up. So the murderer did her thang.

Booth and Brennan

We learn that Brennan was nicked named Morticia. That people thought she was weird. Brennan didn’t really care for high school. She never went to prom. There is a scene where Booth and Brennan are dancing (Booth doing the sprinkler was funny) and Kiss from a Rose comes on. Brennan asks Booth to dance. He says no. Not wanting to make things awkward because of the stuff that happened last weekend. Brennan says please. They dance but at arm’s length apart. Cause they need room for the Holy Spirit. Finally Booth moves in closer after saying this was a prom she never had. Awwwwww.

A side note, the picture of Brennan took of Booth holding the star (the murder weapon) was funny too.

Next week, Booth is getting hit on by someone. And Brennan is going on a date with Oswald. I know that’s not his character’s name, but he’ll always be Oswald from Drew Carey.

Angela, Hodgins and Wendell

Hodgins lets is slip about Angela's pregnancy scare to Wendell. Wendell tells Angela if she had been preggers, he would have done right by her. Angela later tells Brennan she felt more like an obligation. Angela breaks up with Wendell. Deep down they both know they aren't a lasting thing. They both know angela and Hodgins are each others lobsters.

New Moon

2010-04-13T20:07:00.000-07:00

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.

The story is about how Edward dumps Bella and how she deals with it. Which is not well at all. I know I'm going to sound like a hater but oh well. Now I didn't care for Twilight. I didn't really want to watch New Moon but I was convinced to give it a try. I did enjoy New Moon more than Twilight but not by much. Stuff bothered me. Like:

1) The paper cut. I've never had a paper cut that made me bleed like that. Was there a razor blade hidden in the present?

2) Bella being depressed for months. Ok, I've been dumped and I've been torn up about it. But I didn't isolate myself from my family and friends for months! The nightmares were ridiculous too.

3) The werewolves. Now they were nice to look at. Jacob was just yummy. But a bunch of guys hanging out together in cutoff jeans and shirtless. Odd dont you think? Especially when it's raining. My first thought would be a gang of strippers or something. At least the vampires were doing good trying to fit in. Shouldn't the werewolves try to fit in too? Maybe throw on a wife beater or something?

Those were the main things and I know they are minor. For the most part, the movie was just meh for me. Will I watch Eclipse? I don't know. Especially since the book pissed me off.

Bones- The Parts In The Sum Of The Whole

2010-04-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

We a flashback episode of Bones and Booth's first case. If you remember, the pilot episode was not their first episode.

And really, i could care about that case. It was all about Booth and Brennen!! They kissed!!! There was tongue action!! However, they both drunk and Brennen went home by herself. Booth did the same. Sigh..

Poor Sweets seemed really.. what's the word. Well he seemed like a kid who just found out Santa wasn't real. His book was based on what he thought was their first case. He whole world was shaken. Oh well.

But when Booth and Bones left Sweet's office, Booth took a chance. Told Brennen how he felt. He kissed her. Kissed her! And she pushed him away. UGH!!!! Brennen!!! You are just scared. I get that. That's fine, but put logic aside and just go with it. Which we all know she won't do or might not be ready to do yet. Sigh.. So Booth tells her he has to move on.

Me being the spoiler hoe I am, I have read a lady will show interest in Booth in a couple of episodes. I'm hoping this will knock some sense into Brennen. We shall see.

What did you all think? And wasn't it great to see Zack again?

GA- Suicide is Painless

2010-03-26T19:43:00.000-07:00

Teddy has a patient with cancer and it’s really bad. She wants to die and not suffer anymore. Teddy asks Owen to sign off (they need two doctor’s signatures). Owen says no. What if she held on and they found a cure for cancer tomorrow? No, the patient says. She wants to die.

Her husband goes and gets the pills that will kill her. He talks to Owen. Owen tells him there will be a moment that she has a look of relief and peace. The husband will feel it too and to hold on to that feeling. Cause everything else afterwards will be his garbage.

Flash back: Owen and teddy are playing soccer with two other guys. They are all friendly and you’d think they were dating. Something happens and Owen and his friend have to deliver patients to a nearby hospital or something. They hit a road side bomb. Owen and the friend are the only survivors. But the friend is pinned underneath the truck. He also is bleeding from the neck. Only pressure on the wound is keeping him from bleeding out. So Owen is just sitting there applying pressure.

It’s now night and it doesn’t look like help is coming. The friend says just let me go. Owen does. The friend dies and few moments later, help arrives.

Callie and Mark are treating these daredevils guys. Two are banged up and one is ok. The one who is ok says he only does these things because he loves his friends. Later it turns out they were all doing these things cause they thought the other guys loved it. So next time, they decide they are going wine tasting. Callie tells Arizona she wants kids. Not right away but she does. And Arizona pulls her hands away.

After teddy’s patient’s dies she’s knocking on a door and it looks like Owen opens it. But it’s really mark and they do the nasty.

Meredith has a tumor that’s she’s all excited to get out with the other neurosurgeon guy. But Derek steals it from her. She yells “YOU STOLE MY SURGERY!” Pretty eyes tell Meredith to go to Whoville. He explains when the Grinch stole everything, all the whos still went out and sang. So go and sing Cindy lou who. So then Meredith is fine.

Chief is trying to fit in. Ha ha. He tells bigfoot, “if I weren’t married, I’d hit her.” Alex says, “Sir, I think you mean, ‘hit that’” And bailey says, “he didn’t mean it all.” Chief looks all embarrassed.

I felt bad when chief wanted to sit with mark and callie at lunch but they were like.. ugh no. But mark explains even though he’s not the chief, they still view him as the boss, and it’s out of respect. Chief advises Derek to schedule one surgery in the morning. if Derek wants to eat in the cafeteria, to eat lunch with him. Otherwise Derek is a sitting duck.

Now, I liked seeing Owen and Teddy together. They looked cute. I also hope Callie and arizona find a way to work through the baby stuff.

hot damn!

The Vampire's Assistant

2010-03-18T21:06:00.001-07:00

A boy unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares. 14-year-old Darren was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That's the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.

I was expecting something a little different with this movie. I was expecting a little more screw ball comedy. Like poking fun at all the vampire movies.

It’s about two sets of vampires. Vampires who drink from humans but don’t kill them. Vampineze, vampires who enjoy killing humans for their blood.

The plot is as follows: Two BFFS, steve and Darrin go to a freak show. Steve tries to get the vampire to turn him. Vampire Krepsley says Steve’s blood is evil. Darrin witness the convo while hiding in the closet. He’s attempting to steal Krepsley’s pet spider Lady Octa.

Spider bits Steve. Darrin asks for antidote. Krepsley says sure in exchange you become half vampire. Steve gets all upset, gets turned into a vampire and becomes vampineze. Darrin lives with the freaks in their camp. The BFF’s fight. War has started between vampire and vampineze!

The movie was all right. J. C. Reilly looked like he was trying really hard not to laugh and it just seemed… not natural at all. And I knew the BFF’s Daren and Steve would need to face up when they looked in the book of shadows. Or whatever it was called.

American Psycho

2010-03-11T21:17:00.000-08:00

Based on Bret Easton Ellis' controversial 1991 novel, comes this dark story of a young Harvard graduate, Patrick Bateman, who has all the accoutrements of a young "master of the universe" -- from designer wardrobe to a killer apartment -- just like everyone else in his crowd. He desperately wants to fit in, yet, the terrible irony is the more he tries to be like every other money-drenched man on Wall Street, the more faceless he becomes -- and the less control he has over the urges that, ironically, make him feel like an individual. Bateman is a paragon of conformity in an amoral society where to conform is to be amoral.

I don’t know how to really explain the plot. Patrick is a murderous yuppie. He’s all into the designer clothes, going to the hottest restaurant, snorting coke and maintaining his appearance.

One night, he goes to dinner with a guy who mistakes him for someone else. Patrick brings him to his apartment and hacks him to death. That scene was creepy. Cause the way Patrick was talking and his body language was just.. creepy.

The movie goes on to show his murderous appetite. Murdering prostitutes. He chases after one girl with a chain saw and drops it on her from the top of the stairs. There is one scene where you think he might murder his secretary who has a crush on him. But he doesn’t. I wonder why.

The ending left me confused. It makes you wonder if he did commit the murders or if it was all just in his head. The movie was interesting. It’s not at all gory at least compared to today’s movies. And Christian Bale does look good in those suits and tightie whities.

Alice in Wonderland

2010-03-09T20:53:00.000-08:00

I went to see Alice in Wonderland on Sunday. Two reasons. Tim Burton and I love AiW (the Disney version anyway – it was so kooky!). And I was not disappointed! Tim Burton is a creative genius and AiW had the great costumes, sets and storyline to bring AiW to life.

AiW begins with a young Alice interrupting her father while he was discussing trading with foreign countries with his business partners. He asks her if she’s had that dream again and she nods, a bit frightened. Back in her bedroom, she explains the dream to him. We the audience recognize that this is not a dream but a memory.

So then the movie skips ahead thirteen years and Alice is 19 and her father has passed away and her mother has sold out to her husband’s partner. But the partner has a son and everyone expects Alice to marry this guy. But he’s a fuddy duddy and he has a ferocious mamma. When he proposed to Alice in front of everyone, Alice spots the White Rabbit and takes off after him. And falls down the hole…

Once in Underland, Alice discovers that she’s not sure who she is and no one else either! They keep asking her if she is THE Alice, the Alice from the Prophecy that will restore the White Queen to power. But Alice is pretty sure she’s not that Alice and keeps trying to wake herself up from her dream.

And here we run into everyone we know and love from the fairy tale. The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp was excellent!) and the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter was perfect!).
And I really liked the actress who played Alice. She was perfect too. So here is one happy fan. Tim Burton still wows and I say if you like his work definitely go check out Alice in Wonderland.

new releases on DVD and Blu-Ray

2010-03-09T08:56:00.000-08:00

I made an executive decision to add the Blu-Ray on there since that's all I've been watching. It makes a difference, imo!

I can hear my parents laughing over this one right now...
I watched Precious once. That was good enough for me. Brutal movie.

Ooh I really liked Where the Wild Things Are. But it's not for kids. It's for adults who loved the book as children. Judith is my favorite wild thing.

Grey's Anatomy- Perfect Little Accident

2010-03-05T18:35:00.001-08:00

This is my description of last night's episode to Ames with a little tweaking:

Pretty eyes comes in with a patient, his grandfather. His grandfather is Harper Avery, a big time doctor who has an award named after him. And Christina misdiagnoses him not really knowing who he is. She's pretty darn embarrassed and soon the entire hospital hears about it. All the other doctors are asking Avery to introduce them to his grandfather. Avery is kind of annoyed.

Meredith tells Avery she understands but he should learn what he can from his grandfather. Oh and the grandfather insists that Webber performs the surgery. It’s webber’s first day and he’s nervous. But Derek has faith in him. After the surgery, something happens with the grandfather. Webber asks Derek to tell bailey to handle it. he wants a drink. Derek says no, you are going back in there. Turns out the the grandfather was allergic to the suture string they used and no one knew. So he’s ok. The show ends with Avery introducing Christina, Alex, Lexie and Big foot. Christina takes a picture with her eye phone. Lol.

Mark is mad Alex. He knows Alex and Lexie are doing it. Which mark is dumb cause he’s a total man whore right now. Meredith and Christina tell Lexie's her heart is in her lady parts and Alex is Meredith 3 years ago. There is a funny scene where Meredith and Christina are like Great minds think alike. LOL. Alex gets mad at Lexie for telling mark about them. But she said she didn't. She tells Alex when she’s with him, she doesn’t feel. That's all she wants and all it is between them. So then mark comes to apologize to Lexie and catches them both leaving the room.

Umm… Arizona catches Teddy making moon eyes at Owen. She tells teddy she’s needs a friend and they are going to have a girls night. Christina tells Owen he should be friends with teddy. After teddy does a really neat surgery, he says they should have a beer but teddy says no, she has plans.

Teddy’s patient’s lungs are shot and needs a transplant. Another patient dies and Christina does something to get the lungs. Teddy is mad saying Christina will do anything to impress Harper Avery, but the lungs are healthy and good to go. The surgery is a success.

Supernatural: Dean

2010-02-15T21:05:00.000-08:00

There was a Supernatural marathon going on on TNT today. I caught a few episodes. Enough to make me add all the seasons to my Netflix queue.

This clip freaking cracked me up. It's disabled, so you have to follow the link. Click here.

Also from that episode:

And then the link led me to this video.

So yeah another show I'll be catching up on. I admit... the guy who plays Dean also motivated me to netflix the show.

Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief

2010-02-15T11:10:00.000-08:00

It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

When I first saw the preview for this movie, I learned it was based on a series of books. I read all the books and was even more excited to watch the movie.

I'm going to over the plot and then talk about the differences from the book that I didn't really care for.

After Percy is attacked by a fury and demanding he turn over the lightning bolt, his BFF Grover takes him home. Grover tells his mom, Sally, it's time to go. Off they drive. Sally is trying to explain who Percy's father is but they are interrupted by a Minotaur. Percy makes it to camp,
but the Minotaur has his mom.

Percy wakes up and learns he's a demi god. His father was a god. The god Poseidon. Grover is a satyr and his teach is Chiron, a centaur. Grover shows him around. Percy spots Annabeth, daughter of Athena training.

A game of capture the flag starts and Percy is on Luke's, son of Hermes, team. Percy is about to capture the flag when Annabeth kicks the crap out of him. Percy hears a voice advising him to head towards the river that's just right by him. Percy dips his hand in and is energized. He then beats Annabeth and captures the flag.

At dinner, Hades appears and demand the lightning bolt in exchange for his mother. Percy prepares to sneak away from camp. He is met by Annabeth and Grover. But they stop by Luke's cabin for advice. Luke gives them his favorite shield and a pair of winged shoes he stole from his dad's house. (Luke has daddy issues) Luke tells him to getting into the underworld is easy, getting out is tricky. Since Persephone likes to have visitors, she leaves pearls scattered around. You stomp on the pearl while thinking of where you want to be and wha la! You are out from the underworld.

Percy and the gang find the 3 pearls. One at Medusa's lair, one in Nashville, and one at the Lotus Hotel. The Lotus hotel is place that lures you with games, food and gambling. It makes you never want to leave.

With the help of his father's voice telling him to snap out of it, Percy and the gang make it out of the hotel. Only they thought they were there for a couple of hours. They were there for days. Did I mention of the bolt isn't returned to Zeus by the summer solstice, war will start? yeah.

Off they go to Hollywood, where the entrance to Hades is at. They arrive at the palace and Persephone meets them. Percy swears to Hades they don't have the bolt. But what happens to be hidden in the shield? The bolt. Hades is about send Percy and the gang, I forget where, when Persephone distracts Hades and knocks him out. She gives the Percy the bolt. However, there are now 4 of them and they only have 3 pearls. Grover stays behind.

They make it to the Empire State building with only 10 minutes to spare. Luke arrives. He didn't expect them to make it out. He wanted war to start so that the gods would destroy each other. Percy and Luke battle it out. Percy wins.

He makes it just in time to return the bolt. Percy explains it wasn't him who stole it, it was Luke. Hermes looks surprised (which he shouldn't since he knows what luke is going to do). No more war. Poseidon asks for a moment alone with Percy.

Turns out Poseidon was forced to leave Percy and his mom. the more time he spent with them, the more human he became. Which is why Zeus passed a law saying parents could not be in contact with their children.

The end. Well, ends with Percy and Annabeth sparring.

Ok, for the most part I enjoyed the movie. Yeah, i know it's different from the book, but that's expected. This is the stuff that bugged me the most.

1) Persephone. Ok, the bolt is due by the summer solstice right? So why is Persephone with Hades? Shouldn't she be up on Earth? Also, in the books, Percy describes her looking.. faded. Like the place sucked her life force. She was dressed in dark colors but not what I imagined the goddess of Springtime to look/dress like.

2) Dionysus and Ares. So they have Persephone, who doesn't even show up in the book and they don't have Dionysus?? He helps Chiron run the camp! I wanted to see an unhappy guy in leopard print at the camp. Geez. And Ares, yeah I can see cutting him out. But I think it would have been cool to see Percy kick his butt.

3) Clarisse. In the book, Clarisse is trying to pick on Percy when he arrives. After soaking her with toilet water, she's the one who comes to kick his butt during the capture the flag game. Not Annabeth. And no one knows Percy is the son of Poseidon until Percy is shoved/moved ( I can't remember) into the water by Clarisse. That's when the trident symbol appears over his head. If they are going to make the second book into the movie, I hope they introduce her cause she kind of plays a big part.

4) The pact. No mention of the pact by the 3. The pact to not have children. that's why Percy being the son of Poseidon is such a big deal and why he's all alone in his cabin. Also, no mention of the great prophecy. No oracle.

5) Nothing about Kronos and Luke teaming up.

That's about it. Other than those things, I still enjoyed the movie. I do plan on watching the sequels. And even if you haven't the read the books, I think you'll still enjoy the movie like my husband did.

Mini Show Sum Up

2010-02-13T10:20:00.000-08:00

Ok, really quick overview on my shows.

Bones

The two episodes have been meh. Nothing exciting with the cases. Nothing happening with Booth and Brennan or Angela/Hodges/Wendell. There is a hiatus until April I believe. And we're getting the 100th episode special. We're gonna flashback to their first care. If you don't remember, the first episode was NOT their first care. Which means we get to see Zack! By the way, what is going on with him?

Also Sweets is going to show Booth and Brennan his book. I can't wait!

Castle

Still loving this show very much. Kate finally found the man who killed her mother but doesn't know why. And he died before Kate can get answers.

The Good Wife

Oh my god! I loved when Kalinda was on the stand talking about client #12. It took me a while to realize it was the judge. HA HA HA! Thanks to that, Peter is allowed a new trial and can live at home under house arrest. This shall be interesting.

Grey's Anatomy

Ok.. Izzy is still gone. Alex slept with Lexie again. Dude, file for divorce! I'm so annoyed with Izzy and this plot.

Lexie and Mark have broken up. Mark's daughter has skipped town. He wanted her to stay so he could help raise his grand kid, the but the daughter isn't wanting that responsibility.

After telling Owen she loves him, Teddy wants things to be like they were. Owen feels like he's cheating cause he once felt the same. teddy tells Owen, in front Christina, she's good and moved on.

Pretty eyes needs a story cause I love him. Yeah it's for his eyes, but I don't care. I like him.

Bailey looks like she's gonna start dating soon.

Derek is chief until Chief can stop drinking. I believe that's about it.

Sorry of the sucky recaps but oh well. I'll try and do better next week.

In the present, Bonnie's (Katerina Graham) date with Ben (guest star Sean Faris) takes a frightening turn.

The Vampire Diaries - Unpleasantville (Season 1, Epi 12)

2010-01-28T18:40:00.000-08:00

Description~
As Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) try to figure out the identity of the new vampire in town, Stefan gives Elena (Nina Dobrev) jewelry filled with Vervain to protect her family and friends. Hurting for money, Matt (Zach Roerig) takes a job at the Mystic Grill, where former high school football-star Ben (guest star Sean Faris, "Never Back Down"), works as a bartender.

Bones

2010-01-24T19:13:00.001-08:00

Ok, I'm combining the last two weeks episodes. And mainly the stuff that's happening with the squint squad.

Which is has to do with Angela. She's sleeping with Wendell. I don't like that. I don't like her with him. She's going to ruin Wendell. The purpose of the celibacy exercise was that she doesn't rush into sex with a guy. That gets to know the guy. I seriously doubt she got know to know Wendell before jumping in the sack with him.

Wendell tells Hodgins. Hodgins says he's ok. But later tells Sweets, no he isn't. Poor Hodgins. You deserve better.

Then Angela has a pregnancy scare. She tells Hodgins she may not keep the baby. He tells her she will. He also tells her that he will be there to support her. Even to go far as to marry her. Angela finds out later it's false positive, but she thanks Hodgins for what he said.

So glad she really wasn't pregnant with Wendell's baby. Just hurry up and dump him Angela. That's what you do.

Other than that nothing much. We learn Booth is a decedent of John Wilkes Booth. Which wow. Never made that connection. And Booth is a tad bit sensitive about that. The Michael Jackson moves he was doing at the beginning of last weeks episode was awesome. When he was doing the pelvic thrusts, I admit, I drooled.

yay for Masterpiece Theater

2010-01-24T15:44:00.001-08:00

Are you ready?

Which reminds me, I need to continue reading Ms. Austen.

TV Shows: Life Unexpected.

2010-01-22T11:42:00.000-08:00

I saw the commercials promoting this show long before it premiered this past week and I was interested in checking it out but it wasn't this show that I had to watch, you know?

But boy am I glad that I tuned in to the series premiere because I thought it was just too cute for words.

The main premise of the show is 16 year old Lux has been thrown into the foster care system and she's been shuffled from one bad situation to another and would like to be emancipated. In order to get that ball rolling, she needs to get the signatures of her birth parents and she finds her father, Nathaniel Basil, tracks him down and surprises him with her news of her being his daughter. Nate never knew he had a daughter out there and even though he was caught off guard by her, I thought that even with the slight blip at the beginning, he handled the situation with grace.

Watching the beginning of Lux and Nate's relationship was too cute. I thought it was adorable and then when Cate Cassidy (the Mom) gets thrown into the picture, things got more interesting. Cate's got this huge chip on her shoulder and seeing her work through them and then try to reconnect with the daughter that she thought was well taken care of, seeing her deal with meeting up with that old fling from high school was very interesting and you can just tell that things are only going to get better. Things are going to get complicated, messy and with all of her unresolved issues, I can't wait to see all of that unfold as the series progresses.

I've got pretty high hopes for this show so I'll definitely be tuning in every week to find out what's going on. I definitely recommend this show to those of you viewers out there who enjoy shows like Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls because this show is very reminiscent of those shows. SO GOOD, watch it!

Is it Monday yet?

The Vampire Diaries - Bloodlines (Season 1, Epi 11)

2010-01-21T17:05:00.001-08:00

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) takes a trip to Georgia, where he surprises an old flame, Bree (guest star Gina Torres, "Eli Stone") and enlists her help to figure out how to open the tomb. In the process, Damon comes face to face with someone who is determined to make him pay for past wrongs. Stefan (Paul Wesley) opens up to Grams (guest star Jasmine Guy) in his effort to help Bonnie (Katarina Graham) overcome her fears and accept her powers. While researching his history paper in the public library, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) meets a cute-but-geeky girl named Anna (guest star Malese Jow, "Hannah Montana") who has her own theories on the folklore of Mystic Falls. When Damon returns from Georgia, Stefan is waiting with news that will change their world. Nina Dobrev and Sara Canning also star. Dave Barrett directed the episode written by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec, with a story by Sean Reycraft.

Ok so we know that the "person" after Elena's accident wasnt Damon...or I dont think it was but that opening was powerful! When she said "I look like her"...EPP! I got excited for the rest of this
season!

The music, the look...just everything seems so bright...higher budget??? Or do you think its just b/c Im so excited its back on??? lol Oh and btw...they were SO driving in Georgia (where I live). Ok anyways Damon whisks E to Georgia to "get away" and we are thinking hes turning a new leaf and is being sweet well we meet this witch he knew in college that he seeks advice from about breaking Emilys little spell with the crystal. Well as soon as he slips out of the bar she calls this guy that ends up kidnapping Elena! Turns out it was Lexis (Stefans friends Damon killed) boyfriend. He goes for Damon and Elena saves him. BUT as soon as we are thinking Damon is a goody...he kills the bar woman witch :o/

Ok all the meanwhile Bonnie is going down in the tomb...ok so she either slipped or got pushed...idk! Stefan saves her so all is well! although I guess Bonnie cant use her powers at the moment,

Oh and in Jeremy news...how adorable is he now? Hes totally cleaned up and it works for him. Well anyways he met this chick in the library and she too has these journals like his dad did. Im not sure if I trust this girl though...she was wearing a ring but who knows.

Alrighty so as Elena gets back into town she faces Stefan. Shes pissed he didnt say anything about her looking like Katherine. Stefan grabs my heart...when he tells E that he fell for her the day her parents died. He seen E and fell for her. He seen the accident and tried to help but couldnt. We find out Stefan helped her get out of the car and he is the reason she lived. :*) omg! Even since seeing her he watched over her...and here we are today! :o) Oh btw Katherine looks like E b/c E was ADOPTED!!!! OMG OMG OMG! And he told her he loved her...sigh. I wanted them to do it again! lmao! They didnt! ;op~

Until next time...

Movie Review: It's Complicated

2010-01-04T21:13:00.000-08:00

It's Complicated has an all star cast. Check it out: THE Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and John Krasinski (from the Office, so cute in this movie!).

Ok, so Meryl plays Jane, a woman who's finally recovering from her divorce, that happened ten years ago. Her and her ex, Jake (Alec Baldwin), are finally easy around each other and civil. Jake, the ex, is married to the younger woman he cheated on Jane on.

So at their son's college graduation, Jane and Jake find themselves alone together at the hotel bar. (They live on the west coast and the son's grad is in NY). The young wife had to stay home with the sick child and all the older children are partying it up before grad. Thus the alone time in the bar. A few drinks, a few dances and Jake and Jane find themselves in bed - TOGETHER. Jane has just become the other woman, her ex-husband's mistress. LOL She's torn with guilt, but the sex is just so good and it's fun and naughty and here she is, kind of sticking it to the younger woman who stole her husband in the first place.

Enter into the scene her divorced architect, Adam (Steve Martin). He's funny, charming, not bad on the eyes and he's unmarried.

So who does Jane chose? Her ex-husband or the new guy? It's all so complicated...

All right, this movie was hilarious and GOOD. Yeah it's not a bunch of teeny boppers, but that's ok. It makes these characters and what they go through more interesting. Plus they're so talented. So if you're in the mood for a fun, romantic romp, definitely see It's Complicated. I'm thinking, if you liked Something's Gotta Give, you'll like this movie. And I LOVED Something's Gotta Give. Although I just saw this movie, I cannot wait for it to be out on DVD so I can see it again. It was cute! B+

new releases on DVD for December 15

2009-12-15T09:13:00.000-08:00

I saw the Hangover in the theater and I swear I almost peed my pants. This movie is hilarious. WATCH IT

Love QT movies and this one is right up there. Drama, humor (albeit dark dark humor) and one crazy good German actor. This guy, the colonel, he's awesome. Oh and Brad Pitt is in it. :o

Clash of the Titans

2009-12-13T08:23:00.001-08:00

I loved this movie as a kid.

Bones- The Goop on the Girl

2009-12-10T21:29:00.000-08:00

So the most important thing that happened in tonight's episode was this:

Oh yeah baby. To set up the clip, a man dressed as santa robbed a bank. He had a bomb strapped on to him. Booth tried to stop him. But the bomb went off and Booth ended up with bomber bits on him. Which is why Brennan is taking of his clothes.

Another funny scene is when she wheels him, with only his socks and boxers on, out on a cart to question a witness. In front of everyone. Hodges asks, "Where’s your chest hair??!" Booth responds, "I’m highly evolved!"

Oh and Zooey Deschanel guest starred as Brennan's second cousin. Which in real life they are sisters. In case you didn't know.

So after watching this clip a few hundred times my brain is mush. Here is a recap from It Happened Last Night. Enjoy and sweet dreams.

Castle and Glee

2009-12-10T19:48:00.000-08:00

Castle

Recap

An art dealer is found dead. The only witness has amnesia. And the witness is Riley from Buffy the vampire slayer. He was the guy Buffy dated after Angel left. I always thought he was a cutie but didn’t like his character. Only because Buffy’s true love is Angel.

Anyways, Riley has amnesia. Doesn’t remember anything about his life. They finally figure out his identity through his dog. Riley was carrying a plastic bag and a dog was found near the crime scene. They contact Riley’s ex wife and she comes to try and help with the investigation.

You can tell there are still sparks between the two. Riley asks why they divorced. Since the ex seems nice, riley figures it was his fault. They go to his apartment and find a painting. The painting was bought during their honeymoon. It was supposed to be sold and then the profits split between Riley and ex. Turns out they had to buy the painting because riley smudged it. But it’s not the same painting because the thumb print is gone.

Castle and Beckett had learned the art dealer did art forgeries. Someone forged the picture. They switched the original with the copy. Riley went to argue with the art dealer. The art assistant killed the dealer. When he saw Riley witness it, he tried to kill Riley. Riley hit his head and amnesia.

The end of the episode shows Riley and his ex possibly getting back together. Awwww.

Glee

Recap

Rowena already reviewed this but I had throw in my two cents. I loved this episode. Loved it. First of all, I’m glad Rachel told Finn the truth. Even if it was for selfish reasons. Finn needed to know. I can’t believe the entire Glee club knew and felt they needed to hide it from Finn. I’m more shocked at Kurt. I mean, Kurt was trying to be there for Finn when they were paired up for the ballads. You’d think Kurt would try and use this to his advantage. But whatever, I don’t care. Finn finally knows.

Does Quinn know Will and Terri split up? That might change her decision about giving away the baby.

I think the glee club did an awesome job with their song choices. Although it would have been nice to see Mercedes with the solo at sectionals. She rocked that song. I’m so glad the glee club won fair and square.

Sue sue sue. She cracks me up but I swear she goes too far some time. I was laughing when she kept denying she leaked the set list when there was all this evidence against her.

Finally, will and Emma. I felt so bad when Emma was sitting there all alone in the reception hall. She finally tells Will how she felt about him but he just left his wife. Which yay he left Terri! When glee was singing My Life Would Suck Without you, I could see that look in Will’s eye. I kept hoping and hoping he’d go and find Emma. And find her he did. I squeed when he kissed her. And then it ended!!!! Ugh!!!! April is so far away!!!

Glee: The Fall Finale!

2009-12-09T23:02:00.000-08:00

I EFFING LOVED IT!

The fall finale for Glee was off the chains fantastic! The shit has hit the fan with Will and Terri (well that was last week) and this week, the shit hit the fan for Puck and Quinn. No matter what anyone thought about Rachel for telling Finn the truth, I was cheering my ass for her! I wasn't mad that she told Finn for purely selfish reasons, she's the frickin' bomb! I am not kidding, Rachel has an amazing voice. When she got up there and she sang that opening number, I sat there with tears in my eyes. It was so good! They were so much better than the other jocker knockers anyway. The entire season so far brought us to tonight's episode.....SECTIONALS and I was so hot damn proud of New Directions especially Rachel. She was amazing tonight!

There was so much went on tonight. Finn found out the truth about Quinn and Puck, Quinn tells Puck she's still giving the baby to Terri, Schuester leaves Terri, Ken dumps Emma, Finn saves Glee, Rachel wows the crowd, THEY WIN SECTIONALS and Will kisses Emma! So much greatness in one episode! I love it!

Mercedes did a phenomenal job of singing You're Gonna Love Me. I mean, she tore that song up! It was great! I love that Rachel is trying harder to get along with everyone. When she spilled the beans to Finn and Finn attacked Puck and then they said that Rachel told him and she was like, "No I didn't!" and then Finn said, "Yeah, Rachel told me" I was dying. I was rollin' because poor Rachel but what was even funnier was when Rachel goes up to Quinn afterwards and says, "I completely understand if you want to beat me up but if you could...just please avoid my nose" Frickin' Rachel.

I loved how Finn saved the day even though he was hurting and I loved how he was still not making up with either Quinn or Puck and I love that now he's available to let Rachel help him get over Quinn. YAY! I love that they won Sectionals and I love that everything from the beginning of the season was settled and we'll have new things to look forward when the show comes back after the fall hiatus.

Finn is so frickin' gorgeous and Puck is a dirty whore and I love them both!

When they're performing at Sectionals, I had the biggest grin on my face and everytime they showed Schuester and we saw him get all teary eyed, I got all teary eyed as well. I think they did such a good job and seriously, what had me crackin the hell up was the judges meeting after the performances. Candy and Rod were hilarious.

I'm serious, this whole episode was fanfrickintastic and I'm bummed that we'll have to go without fresh episodes of Glee but I think I'll be okay. I'm going to be watching all of the old shows until then and I'm so frickin' anxious for more. Oh! And who loved the last song they all sang for Schuester, how they combined all of the dance moves from the season and meshed them all into one routine was great. I loved it! It was nice to reminisce through the season through the dance moves. So clever!

Oh and Sue is still a bitch but I even look forward to what happens when she gets back from getting more browner, haha.

Is it spring yet?

new releases on dvd for December 8

Johnny Depp. I'm renting this.

Saw this in the theater. It has the feel for a "filler movie." Meaning its setting things up for the next movie - nothing major happens and there's a lot of angsty teenage hormone-ness going on.

I love Meryl Streep and her acting is fabulous. I wouldn't mind seeing this one.

This one is a documentary about dolphin slaughter. I am very interested in this one.

Movie Review: Precious

2009-12-04T18:40:00.000-08:00

Starring: Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd
Genre: Drama
Rating: A-

Last weekend, my aunt and I did a girls' night out. Everyone wanted to go see Precious, but I knew it was going to be brutal and I wanted to see something else. I was overruled and we saw Precious.

And I was right.

Precious was BRUTAL. Freaking brutal. But a truly excellent movie.

Clarice Precious Jones is an overweight, illiterate, pregnant teenager growing up in Harlem in the 1980s. She likes math, and her math teacher, but she's pretty quiet and sticks to herself. One day, her principal calls her into her office and asks her if she's pregnant. If she is, Precious is going to be suspended. Worried about Precious, her principal stops by her apartment and tells her about an alternative school. Precious rushes her principal off because her mother doesn't want "a nosy white bitch" hanging around and in fact, Precious is beaten for the visit. We learn through a series of flashbacks that Precious has been raped by her father (over a span of years) and is pregnant by him, for the second time.

But buoyed by her principal's visit, Precious turns up at the alternative school and there she meets her teacher who opens up a new world for Precious and her fellow classmates who keep it real for her. These women provide Precious with a support network when things get even worse for Precious, if such a thing is possible.

Despite how gritty and brutal this movie is (I know I keep saying it, but it really is!), it was truly excellent. There is humor to lighten up the dark stuff and it is a very interesting story. The acting was excellent, by everyone, but most especially the main actress, Gabby Sidibe. Even Mariah Carey does a good job. But Gabby and Mo'Nique should get Oscar nods for their roles - they were that good.

So if you're not afraid of drama and are in the mood for a truly excellent movie, see Precious while you still can.

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.

However, the critics were right about this movie, the first half is good, the second half falters and loses its way. There are some laughs but that second half things don't resolve the way I would have liked. The only good thing about the second half was Eric Bana. He owns the second half of Funny People. LOL
Read the book and saw this in the theater. It was ok. I think better than the Da Vinci Code movie.
No interest in this one.

A Rundown of My Shows.

2009-11-23T11:14:00.000-08:00

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.

Cougar Town: This has fast become one of my favorite shows. I've got a lot of those this season, it would seem but who cares, I'm still loving all of them. I was bummed to hear that Cougar Town was shutting down production but relieved to hear that it was just so that Courtney Cox could attend to some personal problems she's got going on and not because it was being cancelled.

*Whew*

This show is shaping up to be one of the most funniest shows on TV right now. I'm loving Jules Cobb and I'm loving the cast of characters that make up this show. From Travis to Ellie and Andy to Bobby to Grayson to Lori, I love them all. They each bring a uniqueness to this show that never fails to have me laughing my ass off every single week. This past week was Jules birthday and she's being bullied by one of the women that she used to be friends with. The scene where both Lori (the Tramp) and Ellie (the Bitch) go after Shanna (the bully) in the bar at the resort had me dying.

Ellie: Hey Shawna.
Shanna: It's Shanna.
Ellie: Oh, nobody cares. You're being mean to our friend Jules and we won't allow it. You see, Mongo right here? She's going to kick the ever living crap out of you if you don't stop.
Lori: Yeah, she's going to hold your hands down and I... WILL BEAT YOU!
Ellie: Enjoy your drink.

Hahahaha, I rewound that part over and over again because it just made me laugh to see Lori show Shanna how she was going to be beat her. Too frickin' funny.

And then when Grayson tells Jules that he'll check on Travis while she's away and then kicks a girl out of the house and Travis "comes out" to him? Oh man, it was too frickin' funny. The look on Grayson's face, the confession Grayson shares with Travis, the money he pays Travis to keep his mouth shut and then Andy's comment at the end? Dude, hilarious!

I'm telling you, if you're not watching this show you need to be. It is too funny and I love it!

This show just keeps getting better and better each week. I'm so glad that I stuck with this show because in the beginning of the season, I wasn't too sure if I would or not. As cute as Stefan and Damon are, I didn't think it'd be enough to keep me interested but man oh man, the writing is getting fantabulous on this show! I'm hecka loving it.

Lots of things to be excited about. Is the Teacher a good guy or a bad guy? What is Damon going to do with this new bit of information about there being a way to free the 27 vamps and Katherine from underneath the Church? Holy goodness, do you guys think it's going to be a fight between Bonnie and Damon? Bonnie is going to have to step up her witch powers and take Damon's evilness on. I can't wait to see! I was glad that the Teacher (forget his name) staked Logan because I couldn't stand him no way. I just hope that the teacher really does care for Jenna. I like seeing them together. They're cute and I want the teacher to be a good guy. My theory is that he is a good guy but we're not sure because he seems bad.

The whole thing with Jeremy...what did Damon do to him? Why is he all on the straight and narrow path now? Weird. So from last week's episode, are we to assume that Tyler will have a storyline in the works? Hmm. I'm excited!

Stefan and Elena were too cute last week. When Elena confessed her love for him, I about melted into a puddle of AWWWW. How frickin' yummy is Stefan too? Good gosh, those abs? I want to lick him. I loved it and then when the episode ending with Elena in the car accident and the thing that she ran over making itself right again, I'm like, whoa dang and she doesn't have her charm thingy to help her...WHAT WAS THAT? A vampire? A werewolf? Are there werewolves in this series? Man oh man, I can't wait! I need my VD fix and I don't think we're getting one this week, huh? Am I mistaken? Hmm again.

Can't wait for more Vampire Diaries!

Fringe. Man, this show is getting good. Every week, something is happening and I keep trying to piece the puzzle pieces together and every week I find out that they don't fit. I should be annoyed but I'm not. I'm intrigued. This show is getting good and I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell Peter Bishop's deal is. Is he dead? Is he from a parallel universe? Did they bring him back or keep him alive or what? Man, he's my favorite character on the show and it's killing me that I don't know what is up with him.

This past episode where the Observers interfere to save a person's life was a good one. I can't tell you exactly what made it a good one, I only know that I really enjoyed it and can't wait for more.

I'm also anxious for some more Olivia and Peter action. Are they going to become a couple or what? Stop teasing me and let them hook up already. Walter Bishop continues to crack me up with his crazy antics but his smarts is amazing. I love that man!

Okay, that's enough from me for now...I talked too much and my fingers feel like they're going to fall off. But yeah, those are my thoughts. I'll be back soon.

Movie Review: New Moon.

2009-11-23T10:15:00.000-08:00

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!

Show Rundown

Castle

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.

Good Wife

Peter has a court date. This is so he can go on house arrest I believe. Alicia will have to testify that she wants Peter back home. You can tell she’s not sure of what she wants. Alicia on the stand was kick ass. Cause the prosecutor (?) was just trying to get Alicia all flustered. But she held her own. You go Alicia. Peter was denied bail because he was accused of bribing the judge, which he didn’t.

Also, another delivery was made to the apartment. This time it’s a DVD of Peter looking like he did a shady business deal. His son hides his iPod recorder in a plant to catch whoever is making the delivery. The son comes home to find the iPod knocked over. The janitor did it on accident. The son catches someone taking pictures of the outside of the apartment but you can’t see who the person is.

Glee

Full recap

The glee kids drew names out of a hat to sing a ballad. Rachel gets Will. Watching them sing Endless Love was funny. Will all freaking out over the crazed look in her eye. Rachel noticing Will's eyes and that he's cute. Kurt thinking he could sing that song to Finn but “screw him if he think he’s stealing the Diana Ross part from me.” LMAO!

Puck admits to Mercedes the baby is his not Finn. And then Mercedes gives thee most dumb advice ever. She tells Puck to get over it. WTF? So it’s ok for Quinn to LIE and try and pass the baby off as Finn’s. Geez. I’m glad someone knows the truth now. I really hope Puck tells someone else.

Finn is caught singing to the sonogram by his mom. He tearfully admits to his about Quinn. Man.. my heart broke. With Kurt’s advice, Finn sings to Quinn, in front her parents, You’re Having my Baby. Of course Quinn’s parents are not at all happy. Her dad kicks her out. Finn’s mom lets Quinn stay with them.

Rachel gets over her crush and gives will some “Sorry I was acting crazy” flowers. Ha ha.

Bones

Recap

Booth’s grandfather, Pops, has been kicked out of his retirement home. So Booth lets Pops stay with him. Pops is a cute old man. He keeps asking Booth why he’s not with Brennan, if he’s gay and that he must have not raised Booth right. Poor Booth. Ha ha. Pops and Brennan hit it off. Booth looks please at how well Pops and Brennan get along.

After Pops leaves a towel on the stove and causes a fire, Booth considers taking some time off. Pops has been a little forgetful and got lost while visiting a friend. Except Pops tells Booth he’s going back to the retirement home. His friend needs him.

Booth and Brennan drop Pops off at the home. Pops tells Brennan not to be scared and life is too short. She plays dumb and says she doesn’t understand. Pops says yes you do. He also told her earlier that Booth’s father never ran out on the Booth boys. Pops caught him beating the kids. Pops couldn’t let him do that and kicked him out. Booth’s father never came back. Pops never told Booth the truth. He told Brennan when the time is right to tell Booth and when she does, to hold him.

I wonder if they are going to bring Booth’s father back. That would be one interesting story line right there. As Booth and Brennan leave the retirement home, he compliments the thing (necklace) around her neck. Awwww que cute!!!! Another cute scene is when they are the club and Pops is dancing with the ladies. Ha ha. Or how about when a lady ask Booth and Brennan if they are a couple? Instead of saying no, he puts his arm around her and says yes. *Squee*

Grey's Anatomy

Recap

Mark is a dad will soon be a grandpa.

Hunt asks Teddy why she admitted her feelings for him now. Apparently he had the same feelings for her. For a moment I thought he was going to kiss teddy but then he tells her he loves Christina. He leaves. Christina has noticed the looks Hunt and teddy have exchanged. She confronts Owen but he tells he loves her. I don’t know, it was looking pretty steamy between him and Teddy. I admit… I like Hunt and teddy together. I don’t know why.

Chief is drinking too much and Meredith is the only one who knows.

Izzy still isn’t back.

Baily finally tells her father she’s divorced.

That’s about it for Grey’s. I liked the story with the girl who doesn’thave a heart. I love the song that was playing when she was out in the snow. I looked all over for that video clip, but I can't find it. Oh well. It's a pretty song.

The Vampire Diaries - History Repeating (Season 1, Epi 9)

2009-11-12T18:26:00.000-08:00

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...

TV Shows: Glee- Wheels.

2009-11-12T14:38:00.000-08:00

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?

A Catch Up of What I've Been Watching...

2009-11-11T09:53:00.001-08:00

...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?

Bones - The Toughman in the Tender Chicken

2009-11-06T16:23:00.000-08:00

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.

My Quick Thoughts

2009-11-06T12:02:00.000-08:00

I’ve been slacking. I know. Sorry people! Here is the rundown on my thoughts so far.

Castle

Recap here.

First of all, I’ve been loving this show so far. You should really try and check it out if you haven’t. I’m developing a serious crush on Nathan Fillion.

This week an up and coming rock star, Haley is found dead hanging from a fire escape. Turns out she posed like in one of her music videos. The video is about stalker she had. They question the stalker, nope wasn’t him. They talk to her sister and ex band mates. Nope wasn’t them.

Turns out it was one of her producers. He raped her, got freaked Haley would tell, killed her, and made seem stalker guy did it. At first they thought it was the producer’s wife but that it was accidental. It wasn’t until listening to one of Haley’s song they realized it was the husband.

V

Recap here

My husband was really excited for this. I guess he watched the original back in the day. I thought it was all right.

Aliens have come to Earth. They swear they are all about peace and harmony and all that good stuff. They even give tours of their community so that us human may learn more about them. They cure some people of their ailments. However… it is learned later that the aliens have been here a while and they have a darker purpose.

At a resistance meeting, some of the aliens attack but there are some aliens that are on our side. I asked Joey what’s up with the aliens.

Not sure if I’ll continue watching. I mean, I’ll be sitting there reading while hubby watches but.. meh. Not my cup of tea.

The Good Wife

Recap here

Another show I’m really loving! I really want Alicia to hook up with Will. I know I should root for her to fix her marriage with Big but… no. He had his chance and he screwed it up big time. I do think he’s sorry and I do believe he loves Alicia but.. too late.

Grey’s Anatomy

Recap here

Ok.. the first couple of episodes with the merger, I couldn’t get into. It wasn’t until the episode where the girl died cause of the soot in her throat, did I start getting back into greys.

First of all, I’m annoyed with Chief. He was telling Derek last week not to operate on the guy with the tumor. It was too risky. Yet the surgery was a success. Yet he was encouraging Arizona to perform surgery on a young boy when she was against it. When she said it wouldn't help and the boy was too weak. Why? Cause of the $25 million dollar donation the parents were willing to give. He’s an ass.

I really feel bad for Alex. I can’t believe Izzy just up and left him. I don’t know how her and Alex will work things out. I always liked Izzy but this is just wrong. Even though Alex is married, I can’t help but wonder what would happen between him and Reed. But Alex holding the baby I thought was the sweetest thing. I love Alex.

What else… That’s about it. Next week looks interesting.

Woot! Love the Transformers and can't wait to watch this.

Bones- A Night At The Bones Museum

2009-10-16T11:05:00.000-07:00

*SQUEE* It’s all about the last couple of minutes. Ok, to set it up:

Booth’s boss’s boss Andrew asks Brennan on a date. She says yes. Booth is like, Ok awkward cause they may talk about Booth since booth is what they have in common. Brennan says no, she wouldn’t think about mentioning Booth on their date.

Cept she does! During the date, Andrew asks brennan what’s good to eat. Brennan mentions something about the meatloaf and Booth. Which Andrew mentions to Booth. Booth is upset and confronts Brennan. She apologizes for talking about him during her date but that he must have told the meatloaf story to plenty of people. The look on Booth’s face says no. He says what happens between them is theirs and not to be shared. Especially with his boss's boss.

So later, Brennan and Booth are at a museum. Booth asks why she didn’t take Andrew. She says this was their case and she wanted to share this booth. And as they are talking, they inching closer together. My husband said, “He closing in for a kiss!” But then the rest of the lab come looking for them. So close yet so far. *Squee*

Ok. The rest of the stuff… Sweets asks if Daisy could come back. Brennan says but Sweets says he’s been working with Daisy. Fine, she’s on 24 hour probation. Daisy managed not to be so annoying. And actually, it was cute when Daisy and Brennan got all giddy with excitement over the mummy they have to examine. What was also funny was Brennan reciting the lines from The Mummy. The boris Karloff version, not the new one.

The case has to do with a mummy found on a fence. Turns out it’s a very old mummy on loan to the Jeffersonian. The director of the Egyptian dept. was examining and had discovered something inside the chest of the mummy. Which happened to be missing and now she’s dead.

Turns out it was a ruby and the guy who was admin (the director was giving him her notes), took the ruby. He lost his retirement and since one knew the ruby was in there, he figured he’d take it. Except the director caught him in the act of taking it and he killed her.

The Vampire Diaries - Lost Girls (Season 1, Epi 6)

2009-10-15T17:51:00.001-07:00

Alrighty...lets make this quick! lol

We start off by Elena confronting Stefan about what he is, he tells her and she freaks (who wouldnt). He clears up his past by telling her how Katherine changed him and you actually find out that she did it when he didnt know it was going to happen...btw it didnt happen like that in the books. WELL so Stefan tells Elena that Damon is bad and he still has his ring so he cant come out during the daytime. In the meantime Vicki is with Damon (I was wondering if he drained her on the last epi). Damon starts to TURN Vicki into a vamp and by the end Stefans life gets in danger BUT Damon helps him (yay) to get his ring back BUT Vicki finishes the transformation by feeding.

One sad thing is that Elena says she cant be with Stefan b/c he is what he is...BREAKS my little heart...and we FINALLY see Elena break down and cry...FORGET her dead parents it takes a vamp to make the girl cry! lol :*( COME ON...we know they will get back together!

Next weeks epi looks GOOOOOD! Vicki is gonna be a CRAZY force to be reckoned with! lol and it HALLOWEEN in Mystic Falls! EPP! :o) Happy Viewing!

new releases on dvd for October 13

A smart romantic comedy, I definitely recommend the Proposal. Plus Ryan Reynolds is hot. And Canadian. LOL

Bones- The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

2009-10-12T16:10:00.000-07:00

Intern of the Week: Arastoo. He’s been faking his accent!!! He dropped it when he got upset with Cam ( I missed that part). Turns out he was faking it cause he didn’t want people questioning his religion. With the accent people would figure he’s hanging on to his culture. I loved the look on Angela and Hodgin’s face when he was talking without his accent. Ha ha.

Case of the Week: A dead body is found in a bbq pit. Turns out the whole neighbor had a part in killing him. Because I missed part of the episode and I didn’t record it, I didn’t get all what was happening.

Booth’s son parker, is hanging out at the lab. He’s trying to find his dad a girlfriend. When he asks Brennan she says no because it would inappropriate. She asks Parker why he wants to find his dad a girlfriend. Because Parker’s friend’s dad got a girlfriend and then they got a pool. So if Booth finds a girlfriend, then they can have a pool.

Brennan gives Booth and Parker a key to her building. It has a pool and they are welcome to it anytime.

The Vampire Diaries - You're Undead To Me (Season 1, Epi 5)

2009-10-08T16:57:00.000-07:00

So Elena and Stefan are on the outs b/c he hasnt shared any of his hidden secrets...and one of those secrets is that he has Damon locked away in the basement so he cant hurts anyone. Elena tries to give Stefan another chance to explain but hes so taken with watching after the dangerous Damon that he blows it...that time but he redeems himself by going to her house and cooking for her :o) so sweet! AND he starts to spill the beans...about Katherine BUT not yet about him being a vamp. Personally I cant wait for that moment. It happens soon off in the books so Im trying to be patient...its just hello...he feeds from her and her him so I WANT them to reveal it already! ;o)

In the second half of the show Damon is trying to call on Caroline to him to let him out...its odd she can see him while hes trying to reach out...hmmm...she ends up coming to his house and the idiot lets him out...BUT Stefan seemed to have took his ring so he cant go outside! Ok they are all out at a car wash and Elena talks to a old man who recognizes Stefan from like 50 years ago! So things are starting to be placed together for Elena! Shes getting suspicious! Oh and Vicki and Jeremy...UGH kinda getting tired of the drugs ALL the time...but so has Jeremy! See I told yall that if they got together he would want to fall back from drugs!

Ok back to Elena and Stefan...Elena asks for help looking back into Stefans background (saying she has some school project) and her aunts boy toy is a reporter so he goes to help! And on a video online she sees Stefan in the background! EPP! lol Oh she knows...SHE KNOWS!!!!

Such a good epi I say! :o) See yall next week!

PS- OMG did yall see the previews for next week...OMG its gonna be goooood!

I took my brothers to see Year One when it was in the cheap theater (like 2 bucks a person cheap LOL). Yeah you get some laughs (Michael Cera peeing on himself upside down, Cain and Abel duking it out) but they're very dumb laughs. Teen boys will like this.

Movie Review: Whip It

2009-10-05T19:45:00.000-07:00

Starring: Ellen Page, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis
Genre: Comedy with a dash of drama and sports
Grade: B+
I went to see this over the weekend with my mom, aunt and cousin. Ages 14 to 44. We all walked out of the theater with a smile on our face and mentioning our favorite scenes.

Bliss (Ellen Page) is one of those awkward girls who doesn't want to be part of the in crowd but wants to belong somewhere. She's definitely not a pageant girl and she wants something more than what she currently has. Teen angst at its finest.

One day while shopping for new boots, Bliss sees a poster for the local roller derby and she is intrigued. She drags her best friend Pash (awesome actress Alia Shawkat) to this derby and is invited to try out. Well Bliss gets on the team and suddenly she has a place where she belongs. She's good and all of a sudden this boy likes her and OMG the derby championships are on the same day as a beauty pageant her mom has put her in. ACK!

Ok, I'm being really glib about the pageant thing but there's real drama between mother and daughter (mom wants daughter to have more than she did blah blah blah) and there's tension between Bliss and Pash because of her new crowd and it's all a hot mess with lots of laughs and good times and I'm giving it a B+. It was cute, Ellen Page is freaking cute and Drew Barrymore was funny. This is teen comedy done right.

Movie Review: Zombieland

2009-10-04T12:10:00.001-07:00

Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Genre: Comedic Suspense/Horror
Grade: B+

So Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland) plays Columbus, a nerdy zombie survivor who is trying to return home to find his family. Woody Harrelson plays Tallahassee, a lone wolf who doesn't let people get too close. And he's dang good at killing zombies. Columbus isn't too bad himself, what his ever expanding list of rules to zombie survival (double tap, no bathrooms, limber up, and cardio among them). Columbus catches a ride with Tallahassee and along the way, they get conned by two very smart ladies, played by Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. Their names are Wichita and Little Rock. Wichita and LR are on their way to Pacific Playland which they heard is a zombie free zone. They steal Columbus and Tallahassee's vehicle and weapons -which backfires on them- so they end up sticking together and learn how to survive as a team.

All right - my thoughts. I really enjoyed the heck out of Zombieland. I love zombie movies and throw in some humor and its golden. Sean of the Dead - I love it. Zombieland is really gory though - which works and is used for humor as well. Woody Harrelson is freaking hilarious (I haven't cried this hard since Titanic) and Jesse Eisenberg plays the hopeless nerd even better than Michael Cera (ooh snap! lol). The two ladies, Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin also do a good job of conwomen who trust no man. Bill Murray also has a hilarious cameo.

So if you like zombies and if you like to laugh, definitely check out Zombieland. It's not as dumb as it looks.

Bones-The Plain in the Prodigy

2009-10-02T13:45:00.001-07:00

Intern of the Week: Clark. Clark is all right but I don’t know. I know sometimes you just want to do your job and don’t want to get involved with office drama or gossip but Clark just seems meh.. Plus he was all whiny and complaining last night about working in the field. Suck it up clark!

Case of the Week: Bones of a teenage boy are found scattered along the railroad tracks. They determine they belong to Levi, a young Amish boy on his rumspringa. They visit his parents and discover a box with black and white rocks. As they leave, a young girl, Sarah, approaches Booth and Brennan. She seems scared and her brother, Amos, angrily orders her to come with him.

They visit a friend of Levi’s who was his roommate for the rumspringa. The friend is quite the party animal. He explains that Levi was always gone for hours at time. Even back at home, he would be gone saying he was working when the friend knew he wasn’t.

Sweets determines the out the rocks represent a piano. Levi was secretly taking piano lessons in town. The piano teacher advised Levi that while on his rumspringa to figure out if maybe music is his calling. By the way, Sweets started “playing” the titanic theme on the piano rocks cracked me up. “Even not hearing it, I hate that song,” Hodgins says. "Not the way I play it." Sweets replies. Ha ha.

Levi was extremely talented. They go to the music conservatory and discover it’s by the railroad tracks. The girl he was practicing with, Karen, explains she had given him a medal of some sort as good luck. She shows a video of Levi playing one of Chopin's’ nocturnes. She also recalls an Amish person confronting Levi and he seemed angry.

Sarah shows up. She says that Levi was courting her. Her brother had gone to talk to Levi. When he returned, he told her to move on from Levi. When she learned Levi was dead, she feared the worse.

They talk to Amos. Yes he did see Levi. Yes he was angry. But then Levi played Claire De Lune for him and he said it sounded like a sunrise. He wished Levi luck, hugged good bye and returned home. They look at Karen now. Looks like Levi’s hands were broken. Since Levi was her competition, is makes sense she did it. But nope, she didn’t do it.

Levi broke his own hands. He was planning on returning home and he didn’t want any temptation. But then some thief came by robbing the place. Levi tried to stop him from taking the gold medal and ended up getting pushed out of the balcony.

Booth and Brennan return to Levi’s home with a video of him playing Chopin’s nocturne to show his parents.

The other story going on, was Cam’s foster daughter, Michelle, asking to attend a dance with her boyfriend Perry. And stay out the entire night. Cam at first seems like whatever but then she catches them kiss really really passionately and begins to freak out they are having sex or planning on it.

Cam confronts Michelle who gets upset and storms out. She later returns and apologizes to Cam. She tells cam that yeah her boyfriend has mentioned sex but he’s waiting until she’s ready. While waiting to pick Michelle up for a date, Booth has a chat with Perry. No, I wouldn’t say chat. I would say scaring the crap out of Perry by mentioning he’s FBI and a sniper. If Perry didn’t treat Michelle right, Booth would find him. Nice.

The Vampire Diaries - Family Ties (Season 1, Epi 4)

2009-10-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! We are on to epi 4!!! First thign I wanted to bring up...LMAO they so had Damon reading Twilight on Carolines bed! lol He said he just didnt get "the Bella chick" and I cracked up! he said the book had it all wrong but evidently Caroline likes them! lol Too Funny!

Alright the main event is the Founders Day ball. Damon made it look like an animal made all the attacks so it didnt get canceled and he plans on showing up! :o) Of course Stefan and Elena are going together and I must say BOTH looked HAWT! ;o) So they are at the dance and Elena seen the original guest list and both Stefan and Damon were on the list! And so Damon told her a story of sibling rivalry! lol It was of the original "brothers" but we knew it was them. BUT OMG...I guess they are changing the Katherine story...saying she got killed in a church but thats NOT what happened in the books. The book Katherine death was better. Ugh and Caroline and Stefan danced and it pissed me off! lol Well later on Elena and Stefan had a fight b/c he wouldnt open up about Katherine!

Oh and its too funny that Stefans nephew he lives with is growing Vervain (the plant that weakens vamps) like hes growing weed or something in a basement! lol We are told that if indegested can weaken Damon and Stefan could possibly...idk kill him...would he really do that?!?!? I THINK NOT! So he hides it in some alcohy BUT Damon knew and didnt drink it! BUT OMG he spiked Carolines drink knowing Damon would feed from her and it weakened him and he locks Damon in like a cage or something!

Oh smaller news is Vivki and Tyler are pissed at eachother b/c he is kinda keeping his relationship from his parents (his dad is the mayor). Its obvious that he is embarrassed to date her yet still asks her to the dance. And here we have poor Jeremy sitting in the background with his drugs getting pissy! lol Vicki is a moron! Jeremy is way better a guy and I bet hed stop using if she was with him! But he got is moron in the end! lol

And WTF did yall see Stefans tattoo??? OMG...really...they heal quickly so I dont see how he wouldve gotten that. Its really contemporary and Stefan, b4 he was a vamp, lived in a age that wouldnt have gotten those kinda tats. HA IM SMART! Although it was HAWT! Oh and I liked seeing Stefan drink (it probably wasnt alcohy but it was still hot to see his bad side). lol

Oh and Bonnie is proving to be one of my fav characters (like in the books). Her powers are growing and its exciting!

BIG CONFUSION...at the end Tylers parents, a news reporter, and Carolines mom are all wanting Elenas parents old watch...I THINK I know whats going on (bc the books) but they are starting to change the story so Im not 100% sure.

What do yall think is going on...? Guess we will find out next week! :o)

2009-10-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

A little improvement. Let’s see…

Veronica has moved back in with her husband. One problem, he’s remodeling it and there are no walls, no furniture, no plumbing etc. Which annoys Veronica. I don’t blame her. She tells him to make some improvement on the house or she’s moving back in with her mom. Later she comes to candles lit and the bathroom completely finished. There is even a bath waiting for her.

The nurse and the cop. She’s mad cause the cop hasn’t called her and it’s been a few days. She finally calls cause she needs his help identifying a Jane Doe. Complete excuse since she knows other cops who can help her. Cop guy says he didn’t call her cause she said she’d call him. He was respecting her wishes. Which threw her off.

The new nurse aka My little pony. She has a patient who is addicted to a drug. He tells her he started taking it because he hears a ringing in his ear. No one else believes him. She places her stethoscope up against his ear and hears the ringing. She brings the doctor to hear and sure enough there is blood vessel ready to burst.

Veronica has a patient who had to have his leg amputated. He’s not happy about it since they had to take off during surgery. So the poor wakes up with one less leg. Veronica finds his leg and brings it to him so he can say good bye. Which… ewww.

As for Veronica and the doctor. They try and be friends. Which is not going well. Veronica tries to act all cool and says she didn’t know the doctor while in Iraq. You can totally tell she’s lying. Then the doctor joins their softball team. So he gets to meet the hubby. After they win the game, doctor leaves after watching Veronica and hubby hug.

Later doctor complains about he hates new jersey and that he misses California. “They why don’t you go home?” Veronica asks. Cause he hasn’t given up on her.

Castle and The Good Wife

Loser pays $50, has to wear a dress for a week and shave their head. But don't like Kate know. She'll shoot them all.

Of course word of the bet travels fast and Castle is collecting a lot of money. Kate sees what is going on and when she finds out, she is not happy. Until they get a good lead and Kate places a bet.

The two unrelated murders turn out to be related. Both suspects have good alibis. Until they realize that the suspects don't have alibi's for the other murder. That's how the two murders are linked.

Kate and Castle's murder is a shrink. Her husband is a suspect. But he was a basket ball game. the other murder seems like a random mugging, until they suspect the son in law. The son in law killed the shrink. The husband killed the son in law's father.

Who won the bet? It's up in the air. Kate and Castle get a confession out of the son in law. So they are going back as to who won.

The Good Wife

A stripper is raped at very prominent person's bachelor party. He makes an offer of $450,000 only thing is it will be private. The stripper says no. She wants everyone to know what he did. They go to a civil trial.

Christie the stripper says after the rape, her friend and the limo driver went to the hospital. They performed a rape kit. But the DNA says it's not person who accused her. Someone some other rapist sperm gets mixed up with Christie's lab work. And the driver is saying Christie is lying. Now they have to find other stripper. Which they do. She admits how Christy's rapist told her to just take the money.

However the judge lets the rapist go. But as soon they leave the court room, the rapist is arrested for raping Christie.

Side story, someone drops off pictures of Big and his mistress at Alicia's front door. Which her two kids see. They decide to hide it from Alicia saying it will only hurt her. One of the pictures shows Big doing drugs. The son figures out, it's not is dad in the picture. The picture was photo shopped. Very interesting.

Side note, while Alicia and her boss/friend are at a hotel trying to get records, some blonde walks up to boss/friend. Blondie scurries back to her friends. Alicia realizes blondie thinks they are getting a room. He responds, "We could do worse." Hmmm. I wonder if a romance will happen with these two.

This pilot for this show did not grab me.

We have a nurse who is mad at her husband. He cheated on her while she was deployed overseas. Yeah, I’d be a little upset too. Especially since his excuse was kind of lame. But then we learn the nurse had an affair too while she was deployed. She also fell in love with the guy. But does she tell her husband this? Of course not.

The day after she agrees to try and work things out with her husband, guess who starts working at the hospital? Yup, the doctor guy she had her affair with. Nice.

Then we have a cop who has a crush on another nurse (still haven’t learned names). But the nurse isn’t really into him. Until he saves her from being assaulted from a patient. They later end up in bed together. The cop and the nurse that is.

Then we have new nurse. She’s full of hope and ready to save lives. She wears cute little smocks with sanrio characters, hearts and flowers. After a couple of days she’s realizing it’s not what she thought it was. But in the end, the three nurse are at the bar laughing and throwing back a couple of drinks.

Like I said before, the pilot didn’t grab me. I was fast forwarding a lot. I think the husband is kind of cute. The doctor guy is the Jack from Men In Trees. I thought he was kind of hot in a rugged manly man way but on this show... he wasn't doing it for me. I’ll watch another episode or two and see if the show grows on me. It kind of reminds me of Hawthorne. Another show about the hospital nurses. This one was on TNT or TBS. I tried to like that one too but meh…

Also, I think Captain Janeway from Voyager is the main nurse’s alchy mom.

Reminder: Friday Night TV

Tonight at 9PM on Fox, Dollhouse begins.

Now I love this show. It had a slow beginning but it definitely picked up and caught on. I'm glad it was brought back for another season. Woot!

Bones- The Bond in the Boot

2009-09-25T11:02:00.000-07:00

A body is found being eaten by kitties and the body's is not attached to it. Turns out the guy was carrying a brief case full of diamonds. Another guy had shot him and cut off his hand. Cause the brief case full of diamonds was handcuffed to him. Booth and the guys get all excited when they find a James bond like car used to run the guy over. There is blood dripping from the car and find a body in the trunk of the car. That was just about gross. Especially when the guy’s face was sliding off. Ewwww. They find a gun that James Bond is famous for using in his movies. The gun was used to shoot the diamond guy.

Turns out the body in the trunk was a CIA analyst. He managed to hide the brief case before he was tortured and killed. The cia guy managed to send a picture of himself to his girlfriend that had clues as to what was going on. Turns out the brief case wasn’t full of diamonds but a flash drive.

Now the good stuff.

Booth forgot his handyman skills and he wants to fix his plumbing. Not that plumbing pervs, he doesn’t want to pay $800 to have someone fix his sink. Brennan finds him a copy of Plumbing for Dummies. Booth is happy she gave it to him but then she gives the receipt. Something about not wanting to take away his man points for giving him the book.

The end of the episode, Booth and Brennan are both trying to fix his sink. Both of them are laying on their stomachs with their heads underneath the sink. Booth’s legs are up and kind of just swaying. Too cute. There is a moment when his hand touches hers. And then he reaches over her to turn on the water. Sigh… Almost like an embrace. And then water starts shooting out. Didn’t do too good of a job fixing it.

Wendell is the new intern!!! YAY! He’s my favorite cause well he was the cutest. Yes I’m shallow like that. Don’t judge me. Also he seems like a nice guy. He’s so happy to be working with Brennan and the gang. Except his scholarship has run out funding. Unless Cam can find another one for him, he’s out. So she’s trying to avoid telling him until the last possible moment.

Angela asks Brennan about starting up her own scholarship fund (cause Brennan is loaded) for Wendell. She explains she already gives to charities. Angela says yeah.. but… Brennan says something about not getting sentimental about her interns. Which I call bull. Cause about what Zack? She cared about him! Unless that’s why she chooses to not care now.. Hmmm.

Anyways, Brennan lets it slip to Wendell about his scholarship and he’s shocked. And I’m little upset with Brennan with how cold she is about it. Poor guy. But he continues to pour his little heart out into his work. With 10 minutes left before the CIA takes over the case. Booth tells Wendell it’s like the last 10 minutes of a hockey game. When the CIA comes in to take the body, Wendell says, "We're still in regulation! We've got four minutes on the clock!"

As Wendell is leaving and saying good bye, Cam rushes in saying an anonymous donation was made to fund Wendell’s scholarship for 2 years. YAY! And… turns out enough money was donated for 3 scholarships. So does that mean the other interns are coming back too?

The Vampire Diaries - Friday Night Bites (Season 1, Epi 3)

2009-09-24T16:21:00.000-07:00

Ooooo...good epi! Ok so we jump right back to Tyler being a little punk ass and trying to show up the new guy Stefan! lol On a new fresh day of school Tyler tries to throw a football at the back of Stefans head while talking to Elena (ya how mature can you get) but Stefans quick vampire reflexes kick in and he catches it! :o) The entire school sees and this leads into him trying out for the football team! Of course he makes it...just in time for Elena to quit cheerleading (totally prompted by Damon)!

Bonnie is VERY wary of Stefan b/c last epi she accidentally brushed against him and got a horrible death like feeling! Elena seeing (and having to hear) Bonnies warnings for Stefan decides to have a little meal over at her house for the 3 to get to know one another...BUT here comes Damon and his bewitched girlfriend Caroline to crash their quaint party. Damon gets invited in to Elena's house (and we all know when it comes to vamps thats a no no) and so now Stfans is freaked! He gives Elena a necklace that has a special herb in it to protect her from Damons "charm"...it actually comes in handy after he tries to kiss Elena at the football game. She totally smacks the bajasus outta him! lol

Going back to Damon and Caroline...we learned in the last epi she got bit by him while doing some hanky panky and hes still there the next morning for more! EPP! So this basically turns into some bewitching on damons part! I think hes just doing it to obviously be around Elena! Damon freaks later on after him and Stfan have a confrontation and he attacks Mr. Tanner. I hated Mr. Tanner and I already knew he was a gonner b/c Ive read the books. Personally Im glad Damon did what he did b/c that guy was such a jerk!

The Vickie/Tyler/Jeremy story continues like it has been. Jeremy...poo soul is so lost! All he cares about is Vickie and I fret that her not wanting him back just pushes him into his drugs even more. Him and Tyler get into a small tussle at the football game that leaves Stefan saving the day. Jeremys bong cuts Stefans hand and Elena sees it! He later shows her there isnt a mark and that leads her to talk to Bonnie again about her feelings towards Stefan.

Lastly I must address the preview we all seen that shows Stefan and Elena getting hot-n-heavy...ya it was a dream dangit! UGH! And worst of all you find out she screamed b/c Stefans face turned into Damons! EPP! Oh btw...I prefer Stefan 100% to Damon. Damon was actually kinda puney without his shirt on...hmmm...

This show is going pretty well for me! I really enjoy it and have to say that its better than the books! I cant wait until next week!

~Until next time~
