Adapted from the Will Eisner's graphic novels, "The Spirit" tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus -- who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face -- has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this coldhearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront...all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.
It sucked. I didn't watch the whole thing. About 15 minutes into the movie, Joey fell asleep and then I went to play games on the computer. Bleh.
I can't believe its April 14 already! What's going on??
In other news, nothing spectacular is out this Tuesday - so go see a movie in the theater. LOL
Well wow. I wasn't expecting that ending. In a way, they ended like how I wanted and yet they didn't. I'm happy with the ending but I'm not. I'm not sure how to feel.
In a way the finale, really the last 10 minutes, tied up a lot of things. Why the Space man nickname, why little sammie played with space ships, the little rovers Sam is always spotting....
If you haven't watched the episode then you might want to skip this cause I'm gonna to spoil the last 15 minutes.
In the last 15 minutes, Sam is at his apartment with his neighbor Windy. He looks at the tv and he sees himself in 2008 reading to an elderly lady. I thought it was his mom (he mentioned growing up reading to to her) only to find he's reading to Annie! In that way my wish of Sam being back in 2008 and finding Annie to show he wasn't crazy came true!
Anyway, then Windy tells Sam to go to Annie. She explains she sees what he sees. Sam finds Annie leaving the station and tells her she's the reason why he's here in 1973. Or something mushy like that. He kisses her and she says, "Welcome to 1973."
Right before Sam leaves to go out with Ray and Chris, Gene calls Sam into the office. They chat and Sam hugs Gene. Gene makes a smart comment saying, "I'll miss you most of all Scarecrow." The picture gets scrambled and Sam wakes up.
We hear Windy's voice saying "2B is awake." It's 2035 and Windy is a computer. Sam gets out of this pod thing along with Chris, Ray and Annie. They are on their way to Mars to find, say it with me now, life on mars. While they were in the pods, they had like a stimulation thingo on. Sam's was to be a cop in 2008. But some space stuff happened and it sent him to 1973 with the 2008 memories. Turns out, Annie is his boss whom he has a crush on. Gene Hunt is actually Sam's father.
So again... the finale wrapped up everything but I just don't know. I'm happy with it but i'm not. I almost want to say it's a cop out but it wasn't.
I'm so confused. I will say that I will miss Life on Mars.
Castle
Ok, I'm loving this show!!! I love Castle. I think he's a cutie and I love his personalty. I love how Kate tries to ignore him but she can't. I just love this show. It doesn't rank up there with Bones yet but it's gaining.
I liked Monday's episode. About half way through I figured it was the wife who did it. I laughed out loud when Castle called Kate saying, "Guess who has a date with a prostitute!" I also smiled when Kate heard the name of the character in Castle's new series which he modeled after Kate. Nikki Heat. "It sounds like a hooker name!" "Well she is a little slutty." Nice.
Dancing with the Stars
I started watching just to see Holly from the girls next door. A great dancer she is not but she had fun. I think next up on the chopping block is Steve O. Which sucks, cause I know he wants to do well and I want him to do well also. My favs are Lil Kim and Gilles. Did you see his Tango??? So hot.
I wish I got hooked on this show before. I would have loved to watch Apolo Anton Ono *drool* and Mario Lopez.
Grey's Anatomy
Ok, the couple of episodes have been soooo good. The one with the Two Face looking guy, had me all misty eyed. When his friends came back to support him and one of them went to lean in to kiss his forehead. Oh man... I wanted to cry.
And then with Izzy having surgery. What touched me is when Alex said he didn't want to make babies with Izzy that way. Awwww. Alex is now my favorite guy on there. I don't know what it is about reformed jerks. So I'm wondering if Izzy going to survive.
Christina and Hunt. I'm glad he's finally getting help. I'm hoping Christina will still be there for support. I know it might take her a while to trust him. But Hunts needs someone.
Meredith and Derek are finally engaged. Which yay! Meredith has grown over this season. It was nice to see her as the strong one and to see her be there for Derek.
CIA officer Claire Stenwick and MI6 agent Ray Koval have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first. For their employers--industry titan Howard Tully and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik--nothing is out of bounds. But as the stakes rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier, the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can't cheat their way out of: love.
Starring: Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, Tom Wilkinson, Paul Giamatti
Grade: B
So I went and checked out Duplicity last night. To sum up, the thinking woman's Mr & Mrs Smith. There was no violence but there was witty repartee and great onscreen chemistry. That Clive Owen...oh la la!

Basically, Ray picks up this hot american (Claire) at a 4th of July party in Dubai. Lo and behold, this lady seduces Ray, drugs him and steals some pertinent information from him. Five years later, he sees her while he's supposed to make a connection with a mole in a huge company. He chases her, demands an apology (which she does not give him LOL) and they find out that she's the mole. She wants nothing to do with him and he basically black mails her into working with him.
Through a series of flashbacks, we discover that after that fateful night in Dubai five years ago, Ray and Claire have been meeting up in romantic locales around the world and plotting how to be together with a bunch of money. So they start to set up a plan for some corporate espionage that will allow them to live happily ever after in style.
I liked Duplicity. Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are great together onscreen (remember Closer?) and it was nice to see Julia again. It's been awhile since we've seen her.
I also got a kick out of the fact that Julia's character is so much smarter than Clive's. She was always just a step ahead of him and kept him on his toes. Her character is vulnerable and so she's always on the ball to prevent getting hurt. But I guess with two spies, you know down to your bones that there's no one you can trust, maybe even the people you love.
Good stuff, good stuff.
