Now I'm not a fan of chick flicks, in fact I usually hate chick flicks, but this one was funny. Yes, it ended just like every other chick flick and yes I knew the plot before I even watched it, but I have to admit it was entertaining!

So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 Finale!

SPOILER ALERT!
Oh my gosh I'm in love with this show! I want to marry it and have little dancing SYTYCD babies! Or at least hump it.
The finale was awesome! I was so happy Janine won, I was rooting for her! Seriously when she dances I can't keep my eyes off of here! Kaiyla is my second favorite and I think she was robbed! Evan should have been fourth, we all know it's true. 
Kaiyla is just amazing, I mean check out the picture below! Look at those feet, I would die to have those arches! She should be a ballerina, she'd be awesome in toe shoes!
(No I am not overdoing it with exclamation marks, SYTYCD deserves every single one!)
My two favorite choreographers, Sonya Tayeh & Mia Michaels. These women are amazing. Does anyone else think that when Sonya was on the judging panel during the auditions that watching the dancers was giving her orgasms? I'm serious, did you see her? Yep, she was. Not that I blame her, I'm just jealous.

Knowing

This is a thriller about a professor who comes across some predictions about the future and he sets out to stop these predictions from happening. The predictions come from a piece of paper that his son receives from a time capsule sealed 50 years ago at his school.
I liked the idea of the movie and thought it was really good up until the end. The end was horrible and unbelievable. I hate it when directors take a great idea that has potential and the poop on it!

Blindness

Dude, this movie was wacked! (Do I sound cool there? I'm trying to earn street cred with the teens ya know.)
In the movie, civilization is threatened with an outbreak of blindness. People start to panic and the government begins to quarantine those people who have been diagnosed with this odd disease.
While being quarantined, the ugly truth of human nature is revealed through heinous acts by blind individuals in order to survive. It's pretty shocking of how the movie depicts the world in this crisis.
As the whole world goes blind, there is one woman who is immune to the disease and continues to see. She witnesses the downfall and horrible impact that this blindness has on the world.
This movie is slow moving at first and is really out there so you have to watch it with an open mind and of course you have to find the meaning behind the whole concept.

Defiance

The hubster and I both loved this movie. It's kind of like a disturbing Robin Hood film. It takes place during the Holocaust and is based on true events of a few brothers who help other Jews find safety.

Hounddog

Starring Dakota Fanning (love her!) this movie is about a young girl living in the slums with a dead beat dad. She is in love with Elvis and will do anything to get a ticket to his concert. The events that unfold are shocking and saddening as she continues to make the most out of her poor life.

X Weighted

Debbie from Daisy Halos introduced me to this show and now I've got it set on my DVR. It's a weight loss show that features a new person each episode and tells of their struggle to lose weight and to change their lives.
Very inspiring!

Public Enemies

Alex and I saw this Monday night, the best night to watch an R rated movie because you know nobody is having family night there. I loved this movie! Lots of action for the guys and plenty of Johnny goodness for the girls!
Why, in an almost empty theatre, do people have to come sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME? Stepping on my purse in the process?

Wife Swap

Come on, what's NOT entertaining about husband switching wives and children switching moms? Especially because they pair up the absolute opposite families they can find!

Chuck

My brother was telling me about this show and how funny it was so I decided to try it out. It is way funny! It's about this guy Chuck who received an email with all the government "secrets" that were permanently embedded in his brain. So the CIA now uses him with their endeavors. The CIA agent is a girl, Sara, who is posing as Chuck's girlfriend.
A little confusing I know, but just watch it, it really does make sense!

Yep, I finally succumbed and watched High School Musical.
What's the big deal? It was the cheesiest thing I've ever seen.

Cake Boss

This is a very dangerous show for me to watch, it never fails to make me want a cupcake! The cakes this guy comes up with are seriously amazing! He can do anything. And it's always entertaining when stuff goes wrong and the boss gets angry.
It also makes me want to take cake decorating classes, wouldn't that be fun?

Valkyrie

I was a little concerned when the movie first started because it was all in German with English subtitles, but then it switched to English. Thank God because you know I just HATE reading ;)
I did enjoy the movie, which is strange because I don't really like war or history movies. It wasn't action packed like I thought it would be but it was suspenseful, and of course the ending is sad but what movie about Hitler wouldn't be sad?

Revolutionary Road

The only reason I wanted to see this show was because it was Jack and Rose back together again! (Titanic, hello?)
It was just okay for me, a little on the slow boring side so it didn't keep my attention. Maybe if I wouldn't have been cooking while it was on in the other room I would have liked it more!
Sorry for such a sucky review, that's all I got. Guess I need to watch it again.

True Blood

So I've been reading Charlene Harris's vampire series and have been dying to watch the HBO series that was created from the books.
I think this is the first time ever that I like the movie/tv series better than the book! I wasn't sure I would like the girl who plays Sookie, the main character, but after watching the first few episodes I think she fits perfectly.
Y'all should watch it! And I say y'all cause they talk with an accent. My hubster was watching a little bit of it with me and said,
"Who would have thought of a hill billy vampire movie."
Hmm, who woulda thunk it!

The Hangover

Went to this movie with the hubs on Monday night. Yes it is hilarious and yes it is crude! There were some parts where I was laughing so hard, and other parts where I was like "Did he really just say that?"
The best part of the whole movie was at the end where they showed the pictures of what actually happened while they were in Vegas. Oh my god those pictures are so funny!

Gossip Girl

Ok, I didn't want to watch this show because the name just put me off. Gossip Girl? Come on, could we be a little more original please?
But I heard it was good so I gave it a try and I'm hooked! There is a website in the show called Gossip Girl where all the dirt is shared on a bunch of high school students in New York. Hence the name. It's like OC with all the rich high school students but 10 times better and less fake.

The Secret

I've read the book but wanted to check out the movie too. I borrowed it from the library and it was well worth the time I had to wait for it to come in. I love this book and watching the movie get's you inspired even more.
The secret has worked for me so many times! It will work for you too if you do it correctly! Try it!
