A Lot of Stuff

So much to cover!

First: TV Finales. It's so sad to say goodbye to all my shows until the fall. The winner so far hands down goes to The Office. The last scene!! Killer and amazing. Lost's is tomorrow night, it's gonna be a doosey. And American Idol's over tomorrow too, not as big of a deal but entertaining. Jaslene won ANTM otg it wasn't Natasha. Grey's: everyone's sad, is George leaving? DH: Bree's back, and that's about as exciting as it gets...Lynette's Mom is just like Brandie's Grandma!

Second: Music. Sooo much new stuff finally coming my way, this is my year guys I'm telling you. As I posted earlier, there are a ton of new releases that I am just sinking my teeth into right now, reviews will come up as I make up my minds on albums. AND Kelly's release date for My December got MOVED UP to June 26th! Score!

Note: Marc Broussard's new CD of soul covers also comes out June 26th, so I will be getting that as well. And from out of NOWHERE Rihanna's blowing my mind right now! Her new album is called Good Girl Gone Bad, it leaked yesterday, thought I'd download it for kicks....and it's freaking me out how crazy good poppy/r&b-y/rocky/fun it is, so weird when a random artist comes out of the blue and surprises you. That one comes out June 5th.

Whew! I think I got everything that I've been thinking about out there. oh!

Third: Movies. Spiderman 3 wasn't that good, might see Shrek 3, heard its not that good. My prediction for my favorite summer movie: Ratatoullie (i know i jacked up the spelling on that). It looks the most original, and it's by the same guy who did the Incredibles, so I'm sure it's gonna deliver.

Later!

R.I.P. Stars Hollow

I've been pretty self-indulgent with this blog in the past. I apologize if my drawn-out Lost posts have turned some readers off. Now I'm not assuming that millions read what I write everyday, but I've heard some rumblings. So here's the breakdown (get it?): Lost is awesome again. The last episode was insane, the season's over very soon. I will always love this show, but I won't be hardcore blogging about it as much. Maybe a little update or two, because sometimes I just can't control myself with how intensely this show impacts me.

I also just wanted to give a eulogy for Gilmore Girls. There are only a couple episodes left and the CW just announced that it's the end. Brandie and I will be sad to see it go, but it's run its course and we can see the series wrapping up nicely. Thanks for everything GG, you had a good run.

Review: Spider-Man 3

The picture above pretty much sums up my feelings for the third Spider-Man film - pain.

Everyone's back of course, but when did things get so campy? Did I just blindly follow along the last 2 films? Because this time around, it's really hard to watch and take seriously. I know it's a movie based on comic books, but so was Batman Begins and that single film is better than the 3 Spidey movies combined. Sam Raimi's brilliant when it comes to the action scenes and the CG of course is amazing, but drawn out "dramatic" scenes alongside Tobey Maguire doing his best Jared Leto impression (eyeliner included...I'm not kidding), and dancing, DANCING! I felt really uncomfortable during a lot of this movie, it made me squirm how cheesy a lot of it was. Were the filmmakers purposefully trying to make a movie that only 11-year olds will lol to?

In the end, there are some good plot points and storylines that get wrapped up, but it's in the execution that this film fails. Go see it, nothing I say will stop you from going, and I probably would still go see it even after reading bad reviews. This movie will make a billion dollars no matter what, but at the end of the day, it's just sloppy sad film making.
