Modern Family Season 2 Ep 19: The Musical Man

I loved this one. First, awesome move making Haley's SAT scores just average. I was afraid they would go that genius!SAT score, but of course they didn't. And they were so proud of her averageness too!

I'll admit I saw the mess up with the add coming the minute I saw the van, but it still made me laugh hysterically whenever I saw those people honking. And the conversation Phil had with the guy on the phone was amazing "I don't know if the carpet matches the drapes..."

I really enjoyed the Jay/his brother storyline. I have a large family and we're not very lovey/dovey affectionate but I know we all care about each other in a fun, I'm going to be mean to you sort of way. Its the way you can but nobody else can.

Rihanna Featuring Britney Spears S&M Rihmix

Nice little unexpected remix! . Overall, I like this, should be fun to see what response it gets on the radio and itunes.

The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Ep 17 Know Thy Enemy

Wowsa! Well, I didn't see most of that coming. Yikes!

Some very nice twists from the writers. I don't even know where to start. It was just one betrayal after another. And the body count has already begun.

RIP Isobel the Human Flame. Klaus possessing Alaric. Very interesting. It would certainly seem to put a target on Alaric's back.

Isobel biting John. Katherine drugging Stefan. Matt duping Caroline and being in cahoots with Sheriff Forbes to uncover Caroline. Double Wow to that. How much did Caroline tell Matt? Since it seemed that she told him the truth about Vickie, that would mean Stefan and Damon are exposed.

The bigger questions is did she tell Matt that Stefan and Damon are not the biggest problem she has to worry about? And did she tell Matt about Tyler?

Was anyone else worried that Jeremy was going to die at the site of the witches burning? For a few minutes I thought some angry witch spirits might decide to strike him down since he was from a founding family. Though technically, I don't think the Gilberts wronged any witches.

And Hallelujah! The Salvatore Brothers finally find a human owner for their home to put a stop to the endless stream of unwanted vampire visitors.

Elena and John doing a reconciliation? Where does that leave Aunt Jenna, who went off the reservation early and wasn't heard from again?

And Luka's dead body was still lying there? Awful. I'm glad Damon agreed to bury him. I was also glad to hear that Damon tried to save Emily from the townspeople. I wish Bonnie had at least raised an eyebrow on that. I know it's nothing in the scheme of their relationship, but still.

The only thing missing was some Elijah action, and how far off can that be, since as Damon said, "We all got played." Yeah. Might be time to be thinking about reinforcements.

Bonnie is the secret weapon. But killing Klaus will kill her. Hmm. Well, now at least I'll have to update my death scorecard accordingly and recalculate my guesses.

Coming Soon : Will and Jaden Smith To Star In M Night Shyamalan Sci Fi Film

The universe has such a sick sense of humor. Recently I spoke with a friend about how I wanted to see a Sci-Fi film featuring a black cast, and today comes news that Will Smith and his son Jaden would be starring in such a film. This news should make me happy until I saw that M Night Shyamalan wrote and will be directing the film ( insert facepalm) . Mr Shyamalan movies seem to get progressively worse so this news has me less than thrilled.

The film which will be produced by Will Smith's production company Overbrook Films will tell the tale of a boy who has to navigate an abandoned planet on a space ship that has crashed, on the plane with him is his estranged father. The Smiths previous film together was The Pursuit of Happyness in which Will received an Academy Award nomination. 

Performance : Rihanna feat Jennifer Nettles California King Bed

Rihanna took the stage at the Academy Of Country Music Awards tonight in Vegas with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles. Rihanna made history being the first black female ever to perform at a country music event, and she and Jennifer sang California King Bed off of Rihanna's multi platinum album Loud beautifully.

Desperate Housewives Season 7 Ep 17: Everything's Different Nothing's Changed

I guess Bree is too busy in her own plot with Andrew to follow through on donating her kidney. I mean, she was all about it last episode. If there were some reason (like her alcoholism) that made her unsuitable, they should have mentioned it, because knowing that she's waiting in the wings kinda takes the urgency out of the whole Beth-is-a-vegetable thing.

I really hated Lynette. Hated her. She's manipulating Tom into doing what she wants. Despicable behavior, but I guess it's par for the course for Lynette. And she made the "I have 5 kids" comment about the bathroom -- no you don't, two of them moved out already.

Bree and Andrew are great together, and this looks like a good story for them if it lasts longer than this episode and doesn't wind up vanishng down the memory hole with Bree's kidney.


Gaby and Renee was pointless filler. This should have been scrapped for more Bree/Andrew.


We all knew Susan would get the kidney, so that all felt kind of pointless too. Although the scene with her and Paul was nice, I guess.

Why are they talking about the season finale already? How many episodes are left? I thought there would be at least four?

This was an ok episode, but I'm still not feeling any of the "end of season momentum" that I've felt in previous seasons. It all just feels like filler.

Reel Review : Source Code

PLOT: Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), a helicopter pilot serving a tour in Afghanistan, wakes up on board a commuter train in Chicago, with his consciousness somehow transferred to another man’s body.

He discovers that he’s now embedded in the “Source Code” and that he’s involved in a mission to somehow discover who’s behind the train bombing- with him being forced to repeatedly relieve the same seven minutes prior to the train’s destruction. Along the way, he falls in love with a fellow doomed passenger (Michelle Monaghan).
