Parenthood underated

Despite the title of this blog what I am really talking about is a main pair in the show Parenthood. No not the boy and girl pairs or father son/daughter pairs, but the mother daughter pairing of the amazing Lauren Graham (Sarah) and Mae Whitman (Amber). Not only do they act greatly together, but this relationship looks REAL. Don't get me wrong I loved the Lorali and Rori relationship on Gilmore Girls, but this relationship seems more real to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I know it has to do with the producer of the show, the amazing Ron Howard. With this relationship and all of the other truly honest, and humble relationships on the show I really think it is an Emmy/ Golden Globe front runner. Lets give an NBC show a chance, and not leave it all up to HBO and Showtime, not all of us can afford those channels! Who else is adoring Parenthood? Mae Whitman? Lauren Graham?

Welcome to the Rileys trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjK-szKfGFQ

This trailer reminds me of what's been missing at the movies lately. The simple idea of grieving. Parents grieving about a lost of child. The rabbit hole also has the same idea but I will talk about that in another post. For right now I am already over impressed by all three main characters in this movie trailer. It's a movie about moving on, and adapting to positive change.I think rather then going out to see movies such as Jackass, Paranormal Activity, and Life as We know it, spend the extra dollar and time to find a theater that is showing Welcome to the Riley's on November 5th, by the looks of the trailer you won't be disappointed.

Is The Social Network the next Avatar?

While some can assume what I mean by this title of the blog is that Social Network will make a large amount of money just like Avatar did, but that is not what I mean. What I mean is that is The Social Network the next Avatar in the sense that it is getting Oscar buzz, and shouldn't be. Don't get me wrong I thought Avatar was absolutely amazing, nothing has ever been done like it, but I still did not think it was Oscar worthy. What the Oscar's to me is for the movies that do not make that much money, but for the small audiences that do see it they leave the movie thinking about what the movie meant, and how it applies to their lives. For example Up in the Air it did not make that much money but people left the movie thinking about how in some ways they learned something from the movie. This year at the Oscars if The Social Network based on something that really happened gets nominated over Indy Movies such as Never Let Me Go, The Black Swan, Blue Valentine and other Indy Hits I will not be happy. The Oscar's is for the Indy Movies not the Blockbuster hits.

90210

90210 tonight was if graded a B, because last weeks episode was most definitely and A! Last week in one episode we witnessed Ade's singing partner Javier die in a car accident where Ade was right next to him. Then Naomi acknowledging that Prof Collin did indeed rape her.Ivy with new found sexual tension with her "best friend" (who it doesn't make sense that he's in high school still to begin with), and also the lack of explanation as to how Tristan and Annie's father and mother decided to end it where he is not even allowed to see his own children. Also, Annie finally doing time for the hit and run, and getting an internship, which were still not even sure if this internship is legit, to then the much needed make out session between Annie and Liem, and finally the Silver Teddy dilemma, because Teddy hurt his leg and now cant pursue his so called future career in Pro Tennis, and has now started drinking and in doing so told Silver that she has nothing going for her while also getting himself in a situation with Naomi hitting on him..terrible night for Silver, but what is up with her hair I really don't like it at all. So this was all in the season premiere, and the only thing I can say about the episode tonight is that the two most interesting things were, Prof Collin's creepy obsession with Silver, and finding out that Annie's new love interest is indeed Liem's brother. So while not as much happened those two plots alone keep me interested and excited for the rest of this season! Who else adored the season premiere?

September shows one week away!

The first of the fall new season of shows starts back up this coming Monday with 90210 at 8 and Gossip Girl following right after at 9! I am beyond excited for both to come back. With the ending of both shows leaving us fans on edge I am interested in what is to come in both of these new seasons. I am very excited to see Katie Cassidy on a new CW show and with her being Nate's new love interest that should leave for some competition for Serena otherwise known as Blake Lively, who I think is under rated as an actress with new movies coming out such as The Town and the Green Lantern. While I like Leighton Meester's character Blair more then Serena in the show I think that Blake is a arms length above any one of the actors and actresses on the show as far as success in the entertainment industry is concerned. Is anyone else beyond excited for this new Monday night line up?

What is up with the box office numbers???!

So the other day I decide to check EW.com box office chart to see who won out the weekend. I thought it would be either Eat Pray Love or The Switch and not only did I think it would be but I also hoped it would considering I saw both and loved them very much. Instead I see movies like the Lottery ticket, parannah, and the Expendables winning out the weekend..can someone explain to me what is wrong with the world?
