It is official, our favorite crew from Beverely Hills have officially got the AX. This was too be expected considering their viewership has only gotten worse throughout this season, but it still comes to us real supporters as a suprise and quit frankly a dissapointment.
I have been a loyal New Generation 90210 fan from the beginning..ever since Annie and Ethan's first kiss, Naomi and Liam's fist dance, Silver's first Tattoo, Dixon's first song..and Adrianna's first pill popping experience. It is sad to see them go but lets reminisce on the good and bad times we have had together.
I will start with my favorite episode of all time, it dates all the way back to Season One, "One Party Can Ruin Your Whole Summer" this episode aired On May 19, 2009. This episode was filled with drama, parties, hook ups, babies, the whole 9, but what really helped this episode get the coveted title of fan favorite was the memorable scream from Annie played by Shenae Grimes after Naomi accused her of sleeping with her current fling Liam. Annie screamed for all of us who have ever been in a situation where your day, week, month could not be worse and bad thing upon bad things keep happening to you the scream really was releatable, and that is when I knew I was in love with the show.
90210 has always been entertaining, although I do not think this current season is the best I still never regret sitting through the full 46 minute episodes. Whether it be kidnappings, stalkers, unwanted pregnancies, drunken hook ups the show really knew what the fans enjoyed seeing most, and that being of course the random pairings. Dixon/Ade, Annie/Liam, Naomi/Max, Silver/Navid, those couples while random at the time always ended up making sense as they went along, which is props to the writers.
Again, I am sad to see the show go, but I know we will get the send off we deserve come May of this year, and if it includes Annie's coveted scream I will definately not be complaining.
Sound off below...

Indy films worth going the extra mile for
Upcoming Indy film trailers that keep us wanting more, and willing to go the extra mile to find a theater close enough to enjoy them.
All of the trailers I am listing are of course Sundance selections as well.
The first trailer is "For Ellen"
This new Indy film stars Paul Dano and Jon Heder. Most people would recognize Paul Dano from "Little Miss Sunshine" and most recently the film him and his wife brought to light "Ruby Sparks", and of course people would recognize Jon Heder from "Napolean Dynamite". Heder takes on a more serious role in this movie titled "For Ellen"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZdUkvXgyBo
While this trailer was barely two minutes long I can already grasp the lost in the eye's of Dano's character as well as the growing relationship between young father and his innocent daughter. I think its about time Dano receives the oscar nomination he has been looked past at since his role in "Little Miss Sunshine."
The second trailer is "Hello I must be going"
Melanie Lynskey leads this ensemble with what seems to be an already underrated performance. The simplicity of a marriage that didn't work out and the common relativity of a young adult moving back home with her parents is really captured by Lynskey. Movies that can be relatable are often the hardest roles to achieve.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g71WfCXUTrY
As seen in the trailer Blythe Danner takes time away from her roles in "Meet the Parents" and puts her career back in the positive light it was once in.
The third trailer is "Nobody Walks"
Thank you Lena Dunham. Yet again you have succeeded. If Dunham's name sounds familiar its because of her most recent success as the producer, writer, and star of HBO's "Girls," it looks like she has continued her career in the successful path she has already started walking in.
This movie stars the likes of John Krasinski, Olivia Thirbly, Justin Kirk, and Rosemarie Dewitt. The cast is really phenomenal as already seen in the trailer. Krasinski and Thirblys tension really keeps audience at there feet within just minutes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zu8lX8BA2w
This concept a little more complex then the last two trailers, "Nobody Walks" seems to mean more then is met at first glance. It seems that the idea of this movie portrays the willingness to keep and grow passion for two different beings and form relationships way ahead of your time is while relatable, also very disturbing in more ways then one.
I'll leave you with a quote read out loud from Dunham herself at the end of the "Nobody Walks" trailer.
"I see you with the accurate eyes of the sun you will never have anything or anyone you want. Least of all..me"

Safety Not Guaranteed Review
Last minute yesterday my sister and I decided to go see "Safety Not Guaranteed," instead of "Rock of Ages," and I could not be happier we made that decision. The concept from the movie came from an actual real life person putting in an ad stating that he is going to go back in time and would like someone to join him, bring your weapons, safety is not guaranteed. This ad aired on Jay Leno and the producer's of the movie took that 150 word add or less and turned it into an absolutely brilliant script and in turn a brilliant movie. The cast includes the likes of Aubrey Plaza who plays the lead (Darius) and Jake Johnson (Jeff) from New Girl, and newcomer Karan Soni (Arnau) and finally the lead Mark Duplass (Kenneth). The movie starts with Darius showing us a look in her past, her struggles in college and high school, which brings the audience to where she has left off. Interning at a magazine in Seattle, and trying to work at a restaurant for spare cash. Jeff who is a reporter for the Seattle Magazine finds this Ad and thinks he can come up with a good article by going and speaking with Kenneth who lives in Ocean View. Jeff ends up taking with him Darius and Arnau the interns with him to Ocean View. Turns out Jeff had a different idea of what they would be doing, more like what he would be doing and that is hooking up with a past fling that he used to visit in Ocean View on spring breaks with his family. This leads to Arnau and Darius taking a lead on this article, Darius finds out where he works and some other info on him. Jeff then uses that information and finds Kenneth, starts explaining to him that he would be the perfect guy to go with on this Time Travel adventure, Kenneth is not interested, asks him simple questions such as have you ever experienced fear, questions of that nature. Instead of giving up Darius takes it upon herself to meet with him again of course with Darius being the awkward girl she is get's right along with what seems to be crazy Kenneth. As the movie progresses Darius start's to understand why Kenneth wants to go back revealing that she would go back to save her mother from going to get her chocolate milk which essentially lead to her mother's death, and Kenneth in turn felt comfortable to tell her the same. They form a love relationship, and their are twists and turns as the movie moves along, but the simplicity of their new found love, and the simple concept of wanting to go back in time and change one thing you regret really sticks through out the movie. It ends with no conclusion I suppose we are supposed to assume they went back in time, but I don't think what the movie is actually about. In the beginning of the movie the audience is stressed several times that Darius has never been in love, and isn't happy. The movie concludes with her being happy and also in love. Not just happy because she found love, but happy that she accomplished something that she worked hard to achieve. It seems that movies these days try to hard to be too complicated, and this movie really brought back the idea of being simple and falling in love with complicated characters. More importantly being able to relate to them. All four character go through an obstacle within the movie, some end happy and some end not so happy such as Jeff's character realizing he is kinda stuck where he is with nothing really to look forward to. This in mind it prove's yet again that their doesn't need to be a conclusion, and we can come up with are own.

One Tree Hill Favorite Episodes and Series Finale
I started watching One Tree Hill in High School. Did I start watching when it officially started on the WB...no but I can say that I have seen every single episode including the series finale since then. I think I caught on to the night soap nearing the end of the first season, and fell in love ever since. I remember watching the Jimmy Edwards school shooting episode home alone on a Saturday night and thinking that this show was more brilliant then I could have ever imagined. I also remember watching the prom episode where Derek punches Peyton right when he turns around and surprised millions of fans that it was him at the door and not Lucas. I actually screamed out loud, and I of course remember Keith's wedding, favorite scene in that episode is when Peyton and Jake get together and Lucas picks up Brooke at her house, and the famous episode where Nate asks Hailey to stay the night, and Brooke tells Lucas that he was the only guy she thought about all summer after declaring a few episodes prior that she was pursuing many different guys. All of those episodes plus the most recent episode where Dan takes a bullet for Nate and ends up saving Nate's life while ending his, and walking off into the endless light with Keith, which I could not have imagined the death of Dan's character any other way. Hes been hit by a car, captured by a crazy Nannie and even lit on fire. Dan leaves his life finally satisfied that his relationship with his big brother was not completely destroyed. Brilliantly acted. We leave Tree Hill with the knowledge that everyone is right where they should be. Nate is handing his basketball skills and knowledge over to his son Jamie, Hailey owns and runs Karen's cafe while also managing Chris Keller's music career and still pursuing her own, and Brooke and Julian end up happily with their twin boys and Brooke's Clothing line Baker Boy, and Julian's TV show based nicely on Brooke's life as a high school er and beyond. The series finale ends with all of the friends including the fan favorite Mouth, Skills, (randomly bev), Clay, Quinn, Chase, Chris, Julian, and of course the Tree Hill alumni, Brooke, Hailey, and Nate watching their kids enjoy a tree hill basketball game lead by Nate's prodigal son Jamie. One Tree Hill starts with basketball and ends with basketball couldn't have imagined it any other way.

Keep NBC'S New Show "Bent" Alive!
In the last couple of weeks I have been seeing interview upon interview's with the amazing Amanda Peet. Whether it be on Chelsea Lately, Letterman, or Ellen, Amanda always steals the show, and as excited as I was to see her in the interviews getting a kiss on the hand before departing Letterman (only his favorite ladies get that treatment) I was confused as to why she was getting interviewed so much. Turns out she is on a new show on NBC titled "Bent". I dvr'd both the pilot and the second episode that both aired on the same night last Wednesday, and just recently sat and watched both episodes. Absolutely brilliant. Amanda who plays Alex, and David Walton who plays Riggins (not to be mistaken for the Friday Night Lights Tim Riggins) show what true chemistry is. It was not forced at all. It came off as both cute and funny, which a lot of the newer shows have had a heard time achieving. For example "Whitney", and "Are You there Chelsea". Both of those shows have not met there match. It is way to forced, I keep using that word because a lot of the new comedies such as the two I already mentioned have come off to the audiences, those of us that know what good cute comedy looks like (Will and Grace, Friends, Modern Family, Parks and Rec, Office) as forced. I know how quickly NBC cancels shows and the fact that they are already playing back to back episodes of this show every Wednesday scares me a little. It feels like they are already giving up, and using it like they already used David Walton previously in the underrated comedy "Perfect Couples" that aired similarly just a year prior. Not only does their chemistry work, and does the comedy succeed, but the cast is ahead of its time. As I noted earlier it is led by the amazing Amanda Peet, and newcomer David Walton, but there supporting cast speaks for themselves. You have the great Jesse Plemons from Friday Night Lights fame, the hilarious Jeffery Tambor from Arrested Development fame, and Margo Harshman that us 07 high graduates remember from Even Stevens, and of course the funny J.B Smoove from Curb Your Enthusiasm fame. Please spend the hour long or if your smart and have DVR spend the 40 minutes laughing and smiling tonight and for the remainder of its season (yet to be determined) at 9 Eastern time, because shows like this don't come around as often anymore we have shows like "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" on Fox to prove that point.

Parenthood Season Three Finale
Last night was the highly anticipated season finale of Parenthood. The episode started with views of both Crosby and Jasmine breaking up with their significant others. Most viewers may have been disappointed with the lack of attention spent on the break ups, but I thought Brian and fam did a good job justifying what the main point of the episode was, and of course that being Jasmine and Crosby's long awaited wedding. In the middle of preparing the wedding we also had the incredibly touching moment between Julia and Zoe that made me wish for more. Seriously I actually do think more time should have been spent on that moment. Also, there was the Crosby and Adam storyline that I personally was not fond of, so I am refusing to discuss it, and then the Amber (favorite character) and Bill situation, thank god she choose the job over the man! I was hoping it was going to go in that direction, it also makes for some good future tension scenes between the two at work, I am looking forward to that. There was also the drama of Sarah and Mark break-up then proposal storyline. I hope that they stay together, but Sarah always seems unstable and uncertain of her decisions so we will see what happens next with them. It is important to note that she did not give an answer, so that was the supposed cliff hanger along with Julia and Joel adopting a young boy due to his incarcerated mom, which like a recapper of EW stated "should make for good television when they explain that situation to Sydney." Those moments and of course the wedding itself is whats keeping me going through the hiatus. Parenthood fans we need to stick together and really pray that this amazing show gets picked up for a fourth season!! Finally, shout out to Billy Riggins making his small debut, love when Friday Night Lights and Parenthood come together. The two shows really have a lot in common. So what do you Braveman fans think? Are you hoping for a season 4?

Oscar Nominations
Every year I am beyond excited for the Oscar nominations to go out, I even wake up early to watch them announce the nominations live. This year was different, I didn't wake up because I was not only lazy but I was also not too excited about the nomination prospects. All I really was excited about was Charlize Theron (Young Adult), and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene) getting nominated. To my complete surprise not one of these incredibly underrated performers were nominated. Instead we have five ladies that in the eyes of the "blockbuster" critics deserved the nod. Did Viola Davis, Meryl Streep, Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams and Glenn Close really outperform Charlize and Elizabeth? I don't know if anyone could argue with me that they did. The reason being, Elizabeth and Charlize created with the help of the producers and writers...etc, they created new characters that were made completely from their view of what should be told from the story. Where as all of the above five ladies were basing their roles off of already written, produced, and understood roles. While I believe they performed beautifully, I still do not believe they out performed the ladies who in my eyes could stand next too Natalie Portmans performance in Black Swan last year. I think the other ladies would have a hard time standing next to the likes of Natalie Portman (Black Swan) or Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road) for that matter. What do you think? Do you think the ladies really outperformed Charlize and Elizabeth, and for that matter the leading lady Adepro Oduye from Pariah that Meryl so proudly announced as one of the best actresses this year?

Desperate Housewives- "Kiss them Goodbye" Episode One Recap
It is great to be back on Wisteria Lane! We left off last season with a lot of drama that was not fully resolved (and apparently will not be fully resolved for a while).
Spoiler Alert!!!
First things first Lynette and Tom status. Apparently they have yet to tell the kids that they do in fact want to get separated. Penny was picking up the clues leading up to their decision to separate even before they were, but of course it would not be desperate housewives without prolonging things. I thought Marc Cherry did a nice job showing that Lynette does still need Tom and in some ways wants Tom, but Lynette isn't going to go back into the relationship as quickly as most fans would like her too. After episode one we are left with Lynette and Tom letting the kids know that they are separating and leaving us fans wondering who will hook up quicker with someone else? Lynette or Tom?
Gaby's Step Father Crisis. The big cliffhanger of last season was the ladies coming together to hide the death or in that case Murder of Gaby's Step Father who we found out used to sexually abuse Gaby, and has up until that point made Gaby feel unsafe and scared. What was most significant about the season finale was the relationship between Brie and Carlos being reattached because of Bries quick decision to help Carlos and Gaby in hiding this murder and saving Carlos from yet another trip to jail. Brie and Gaby are willing to hide this secret until they die, but Lynette and Susan are not as able to feel that way. Throughout this first episode we see Susan not acting herself because of not being able to tell Mike what the secret is.
For the upcoming episodes this "Secret" will truly show how close the four ladies really are, and for that matter how loyal they are.
So I guess the biggest question is who will tell big secret first? Susan? Lynette..will find out.
Let me know what you thought of this first episode. Do you want Lynette and Tom to stay separated? Do you think Susan has every right to tell Mike the ladies secret?

Parenthood Recap
Tonight's episode was filled with anger, drugs, sex and alcohol and most of it was just Amber. Mae Whitman is truly doing an amazing job showing how a young adult could act after her dreams are crushed, and in doing so I am truly disliking her character and that is saying a lot, because she has been my favorite up until this point. After she pushed her mother Sarah played by Lauren Graham she became very unlikeable which is what I believe Grazer and Howard where trying to portray. I don't want to even start about the car accident, even with being annoyed with Amber currently I could not imagine her not on the show. What I am assuming is that this is just a way for Crosby and Jasmine to get back together, and also a way for Amber to have a wake up call and figure out a different dream rather then resulting to smoking, or drinking, or at least I hope this is the case. In other story lines Crosby is repairing a house for him, Jasmine, and Jabar to live in which I believe is more then amazing, but I am not sure it is enough for Jasmine to forgive him I just hope it is, and he knows this and like he said "its like a hail Mary" lets just hope its in his favor. Also, the second biggest storyline, Haddie admitting to her parents that she is in fact having sex, her mom taking it alot better then her dad which showed yet again the amazing acting skills by Peter Krause who plays Haddies father. Besides the car accident I am happy with every other storyline. I just hope that the season ends with Crosby and Jasmine back together, Amber healthy and motivated, and Haddie not pregnant, but we cant win them all. What do you think? Is Amber bothering you? Did Peter Krause play a good father that just found out his baby girl isn't really a baby anymore?

Minka Kelly back on Parenthood
Hello Parenthood fans! I hope I am not giving anything away but in the preview for next weeks episode their appears to be a big change of events coming our ways and that being with the likes of Minka Kelly.She is definitely making her rounds. Minka is in the number one movie in the world right now the thriller "The Roomate" alongside Gossip Girl alumni Leighton Meester. I actually enjoyed this movie, but that might be discussed in a separate post. So anyways I was happy to see that in the next episode of Parenthood Minka is returning in her same role, except with a twist. It looks like after Crosby and Jasmines fight Crosby might be unfaithful and hook up with Minka. While I love Minka I really would hate to see Crosby and Jasmines relationship go up in flames especially because of what would happen to their adorable son Jabari. I am also happy to announce that Parenthood received over 5 million viewers this past episode which is very good news for all you Braverman family fans out there. So anyways, what do you guys think? While I hope you are as big of a fan as I am of Minka Kelly, do you think Crosby will actually risk loosing his soon to wife for Minka's good looks and convenient comfort?

90210 is back!?
After waiting over a month to see what has changed in Beverly Hills I was both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised by the anticipated mid season premiere that aired a couple hours ago.
Favorite story lines: Navid and Silver, and Silver/Naomi/Mr.Cannon.
Will start with Navid and Silver. After ending the last episode before break with a kiss I was hoping something more would come out of that storyline. I am happy to say it has, it is a mutual decision that they will continue to see each other (hidden to start) until Ade is over her relationship with Navid, which they guessed would last a month. Of course, as 90210 always does that will not be as easy as they thought, but I look forward to whats coming with those two.
The most anticipated part of the last episode of 90210 besides Liem and Annie was Mr.Cannon being back in the picture. The last episode ends with Mr.Cannon hiding in Naomi's apartment after she just finished telling Oscar not to come over (of course). So this mid season premiere episode started with Naomi undressing and changing into sweats to find Mr.Cannon behind her with a knife. To be honest this reminded me alot of One Tree Hill the stalker episode but I guess CW shows have to stick together. Anyways, Mr.Cannon after tieing Naomi to a chair tells her to call Silver and invite her over, which Naomi refused and Mr.Cannon proceeded to text her. Silver shows up oblivious to what she had just arrived for. Mr.Cannon ends up making the two of them (with hands tied behind their backs) explain that Naomi was never raped and Mr.Cannon was wrongly accused on camera to clear his name. After that Mr.Cannon asks Naomi for her trust fund. Naomi lets him know that's not possible in less she goes to the bank in person. The next morning they started getting ready to leave when Naomi explains that she has to do her make up to make it look real. Naomi then uses her hairspray as a weapon spraying Mr.Cannon while Silver hits him with a flower pot. The storyline ends with Naomi getting convinced not to take Mr.Cannon's life by Silver, and Mr.Cannon getting taken away by the cops. Overall with just a slite comparison to a similar CW show this storyline was done pretty beautifully.
While I liked these story lines I did not enjoy Liem and Annie's, because yet again their is something in their way of finally starting a relationship. This time its not Annie but Liem, and its because of his brother Charlie. After them ending the last episode sharing their feelings I thought the best for their relationship, but of course their has to be another hurdle. Frustrating.
I also don't like the new addition of Annie's cousin. Can't say I am looking forward to that storyline. Just another stalker situation. Been there. Done that.
I don't know how I feel about the Ivy and Dixon storyline. I would love for them to get back together, and tonight made it seem like that's somewhat possible. While this seems somewhat like its going in the right direction I can't say I am happy that Ivy may not enjoy surfing anymore because of one bad fall.
Finally, Teddy and Ian. Or I guess Teddy and Dixon. I felt that Dixon was a little hard on Teddy knowing that Teddy is already feeling badly. While he was hard on him, it did make it seem realistic being that I often forget this is a show about high schoolers. I just hope that Teddy comes out and finally feels comfortable with himself.
OOH and Ade..I actually don't really care.
Being that I had anticipated some other types of story lines I was not as happy as I would like to be with this mid season premiere. I hope that next week will prove me wrong and remind me why I love this show so much.

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.

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?

Yay Kristin Chenoweth!
So I guess myself and Ryan Murphy think a lot alike. He and I both think it would be in the interest of all gleek lovers and Broadway fans that Kristin Chenoweth has her own show!!! I am a huge fan of Kristin with everything from her amazing work on Wicked or even recently with her amazing work with Sean Hayes in Promises Promises, it would only make sense that someone as talented as her received her own show. I don't know about you but I will be glued to the TV on whatever channel and at whatever time this show is on. Who else is beyond happy to hear this news?

Best upcoming movie trailer is....
Never Let Me Go. This movie features the likes of academy award nominees Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan. While I do not know really how to describe what I am seeing in this trailer all I can really say is that it is already receiving Oscar buzz, and by the looks of this trailer it does not look like it will have trouble coming home with any awards during award season.
