best tv and book
The best tv show of the year is the big bang theory. I discovered this show when TBS started airing the reruns this fall and became a big fan of the show. It is hands down the funnist show i have watched in years. I can,t remember the last time a tv show made me laugh out loud like the big bang theory. No tv show has made me laugh like the big bang theory. I have to say the best book i read this year is READY PLAYER ONE. It is just the most fun book i have read in a long time. It is a mix of the neverending story, the matrix, a little bit of joss whendon, edgar wright. It,s the one book every geek and nerd MUST READ.
end of year lists
I always do a top ten best movies of the year list and i still need to see some of the big movies like sherlock holmes, tintin, MI4 before i can do my list. expect to see it pretty soon i hope.

movie news
I just read we will see a 24 movie get made. They hope to have the script finished by the end of this year and plan on start filming in april. I hope the 24 movie will be rated R because we had to listen to jack yell or scream DAMN IT, since he could,t swear at all on tv. Let the guy drop a few Fbombs after all these years. I like to see the 24 movie be a true blue action movie and not have to pull it,s punchs. If i want to watch a PG-13 version of 24, i,ll rewatch the tv show. Even the tv show was sometimes like a R rated movie. So what do you 24 fans think? I have to ask sould this movie be the start of a 24 movie series or sould they give us a real end with this movie?

random thought of the day
I discovered the tv show the big bang theory awhile ago and it is now one of my fave tv shows. I ordered seasons 1-4 on dvd and it is just a great show. No tv show has been me laugh so hard in years. I think it,s the funniest show on tv right now. The cast is just perfect, the writing is really good and smart. They try not to over do all the geeky and nerdy stuff. It,s the only tv show to make me laugh out loud. Every episode makes me laugh. Try to think of the last time a comedy show made you laugh at EVERY EPISODE. I make sure to watch all the new episodes thursday nights at 8:00. The reruns of big bang theory are on TBS tuesday,wedesday and thursday nights. If you have never watched it, give it a try.
Movie news
Well lots of movie news for everyone. I just read that ridley scotts new movie is a honest to god alien prequel. The aliens were made to be bioweapons and we will see where the star beast came from. The ending sets up the original alien movie and it sounds like this movie takes place 100 years before the first movie. George miller has said we will get mad max 4 and the new movie will be the start of a new series. for a long time he was talking of just doing 2 movies now he has said he will do 3 new mad max movies. The fact mad mel has nothing to do with these new movies is a deal breaker for me. Unless mad max 4 looks nothing less then jaw dropping excellent then i think i,ll pass on the movies.

my review of the muppets
The muppets is the movie i been looking forward to all year. I,m a life long muppet fan. Even though the muppet show is over 35 years old, it,s still funny as hell and can always put a smile on my face. I grew up with the muppets and even as a grown up now i still love the muppets. It was great seeing the muppets back on the big screen. This new movie proves the muppets still work and are just as funny now as they were back in the late 70s, early 80s. There are alot of big stars that pop up though out the movie. I did laugh alot but i was expecting to fall out of my chair laughing. It is a great comeback movie and i think todays kids are going to love the muppets as much as me, my sister, brother, cousins, friends did back in the day. The last half hr is almost a brand new episode of the muppet show. While i,m thinking about the movie, it,s almost what i wanted to see but they could have done so much more. I would have liked to have seen a whole new episode of the muppet show on the big screen. We sould have seen muppet labs, pigs in space, other classic bits from the show. The ending feels kind of rushed. I still loved the movie. I will see it again. It,s a great movie and every muppet fan sould go see it. I give it 3 stars.

It sounds like the simpsons may be ending this season. It is all about money and the people at fox being geedy dumbasses. Fox wants to cut the budget of the show and the money the cast makes. the cast would take a pay cut thats not the problem. The problem is fox would be willing to replace the cast or just cancel the show. The longest running cartoon may be coming to a end. I,ll keep everyone updated.

movie review
Tonight I watched john carpenters the ward. It,s carpenters first new movie in like 10 years so I had to see it. I,m a life long john carpenter fan. You can tell right away john carpenter did,t write it. You would never know it,s a carpenter movie without having seen his name above the title of the movie. I hate to say it but the movie sucked big time. Cheap boo scares, the movie did alot of dumb crap that i was like they really did that. The movie was one of those so bad it,s just bad. I like to know what made john carpenter pick this piece of crap as his comeback movie. I hope his next movie is original and that he writes his next movie himself. I watch bad movies so you don,t have too. I give the ward 1 star. It sucks i started off my season of halloween movies with such a bad movie.

book review
I just finished reading ready player one. I loved the book. Wow what a fun book. This book is a must read for every child of the 1980s, movie and video game geeks and nerds. I geeked out so much while reading the book. It,s been forever since a book made me geek out like this. The movie stuff and movie lines are just perfect and funny as hell. The video game stuff is also funny and so cool. This book must be made into a movie. Everyone sould run to your nearest book store and buy this book. I,m shocked that no one online is talking about this book. It seems like no one even knows about the book. I found out about it because i read a review for it in EW. If i had never read that review i never would have heard about this book. I so badly want to talk to someone else about this book. The melrose library did,t even get the book, I had to ask them to get it from another library. I waited almost 2 weeks for the book but it was worth the wait. I have not had so much fun reading a book like this since i read the first harry potter book. I give the book 4 stars and say it,s a must buy for every geek and nerd.

I remember waking up on 9-11-2001 and seeing the news footage of the twin towers but not understanding right away what had happened or what i was seeing. When i knew what happened i thought holy crap. I could,t believe it. It,s still amazing to think it,s already been 10 years. I,m happy knowing i got to see the twin towers when i went to new york with my friends the summer of 1999. It is a diffent world since 9-11-2001. I just want everyone to know you were in my thoughts today and i hope everyone was safe and happy and was with your family or friends today.

If you just heard a darth vader type NOOOOOOOOOOOO, it,s because one of my fave movies is not only being remade but also getting rebooted as well. The movie is beetlejuice. The movie sould never get remade, we don,t need a sequel. It,s perfect as a stand alone movie. It,s one of tim burtons best films and it still holds up well almost 25 years later. Hollywood please stop remaking so many good movies. What does everyone else think about this idea.

I just read we will see a tv series or mini-series based on stephen kings book under the dome. The book is over a 1000 pages long so doing it as a tv series makes sense. It is a little bloody and gory plus they would,t need to leave out anything or change anything. They could just bring the book to life as a tv series. The tv series will be on showtime. I read alot of the book but put it down because it just was,t grabbing me. There was nothing that made me think i have to keep reading this to find out what happens next. I,ll go back to the book at some point and read the whole thing from start to end. I think mybe it could work better as a tv show. I,ll be interested to hear what other people have to say about the idea of making this book into a tv series.

movie review
I saw rise of the planet of the apes and it was excellent. It,s a great reboot of the apes series. I was worried about it after that tim burton remake we got 10 years ago but this new movie is not a remake but a brand new start to a new series of movies. Yes there are nods and callbacks to the original movie and yes we do get to hear the classic line get your paws off me you damn dirty ape. One of the apes is called bright eyes and we see a news report of a mission to mars later on see a newspaper with the headline lost in space? the story is a great new begining for the series. The f/x is awesome, the action is great, the acting is good. I think the f/x will likely get a oscar nod. I think they perfectly set things up so we could see planet of the apes down the line. I think the next one will be somewhat of a remake of battle for the planet of the apes and i would,t be surprised if they used that title for the next movie. The original series was 5 movies long. I think this new series will end up being 4 movies long. I say that this really is a must see movie for fans of the original ape series. For anyone that has never seen the original movies you,ll still enjoy this new movie. I give it 3 and a half stars.

I told everyone borders books is closing soon and i been making trips to borders in the hope that everything will be half off and most books are still only 20% off. This pisses me off because you would think since the store is closing that they would have excellent deals and that most things would be 50% off by now and it,s not. I think people would be buying more stuff if things were half off and because the deals are only 20% off for books and dvds they are not selling as much as they could be. Someone like myself would go in to borders and spend a ton of money on books and dvds if only the sales were better. I saw the dvds were still 20% off and thought that must be wrong because i saw a sign that said blue rays were 40% off. So i picked up 2 doctor who dvds and got to the cashier who rings up the dvds and tells me that it will be 72$ for the dvds and my jaw just dropped on the floor and i asked them to put one of the dvds back. I don,t know if i will go back because by the time everything is 50% off most of what i would want to buy will most likely be gone. I want to ask people if i sould keep going in to borders books or sould i just say the hell with it.
book review
I finished reading the new pendergast book. It,s the 2nd in a trilogy and it was great. I could,t put it down. Lots of twists and turns. We do get answers but we also now have more ?. It was a very fast paced book and long time fans will enjoy it. The only thing i,m worried about is the last time they did a trilogy the first 2 books were excellent but book 3 was a big let down. Book 3 felt more like a movie script instead of a book. I hope when we get the end to this trilogy next year that it will be as good as the other 2 books. It,s a great summer read and fans sould run out and buy it. 4 stars.

I just read we will see a new hulk cartoon which i would be excited but this new cartoon sounds dumb and lame. The title is hulk and the agents of smash. It will have red hulk, she hulk, A-bomb, mybe the hulks son. The title sucks and makes it sound dumb. I rather see a new cartoon about my fave monster hero the hulk. I do like this cartoon will have she hulk, who i,m a big fan of and she,s been around long enough and has enough storys of her own that someone could do a good she-hulk cartoon. I like to see a hulk cartoon first season be 25 episodes long and have it be mostly based on the original comic book series but they could come up with new original storys as well.

review of james bond book
I finished reading the new james bond book and it was good. I liked it. This new book is rebooting the book version of 007. The books have been like the movies in that bond became ageless and they never talked about how old he was. In this new book bond is around my age 34, the rest of our fave characters are back like M, miss moneypenny, felix, mary goodnight, bill tanner. I have to tell everyone we do see Q but it,s not our Q we know and love, it,s a brand new character, I would rather the author had given the character a new nickname. The author changes bonds history so that if this new book becomes a big enough hit to become a new series there will be a ongoing storyline about how bonds mother might have been a spy. The bad guys were business men for this first book, so no new dr.no, goldfigner type bad guys yet. I could picture the book being a good 007 movie. The story is decent, the action is good, we see bond acting like a spy instead of like a superhero, 007 does have some new gadgets to play with, it,s stuff you could believe it to be real. There are some good bond girls in this book. It makes for good summer reading. We see 007 in some hand to hand fights and see some good gun battles. I give it 3 stars. I,m going to reread some of the original james bond books.

random thought of the day
There was talk about doing stephen kings dark tower series, which is 7 books long as 3 movies and a tv series. I just read it,s not going to happen and i have to say good. Theres no way in hell you could try doing all 7 books as 3 movies and even if the tv series were to be based on some of the books it still would,t work and i,ll tell you why. Theres just too much story to do it the way they were planning too. Lets think about how they might have done it, movie 1 would be based on the first book then season 1 of the tv show would be book 2 then the 2nd movie would be based on book 3 then season 2 would cover book 4 then the last movie would be based on the last book. So they would be leaving out books 5 and 6 and you really can,t leave out anything. The last book ties up everything from the books and even answers stuff that happend in kings other books. Anyone taking on the dark tower as a movie series needs to treat it the same way the harry potter movies were treated. You need to do it as 7 movies and stay very faithful to the books. If harry potter was a kids movie series then hollywood needs to think of the dark tower as a fantasy series for grown ups. These movies sould be just as big, epic as lord of the rings but something more for grown ups. I think the biggest problem will be these movies will have to be RATED R. hollywood just does,t want to take a risk on a R RATED FANTASY MOVIE. Unless the dark tower movies are R RATED then there is no point in even trying to do them. If hollywood trys to water them down by making the movies PG-13, then i say find a another fantasy series to make into the next big thing and leave the dark tower series alone. Tell me what you think, do you agree or disagree with me.

My thoughts on harry potter series
I have been thinking about the harry potter series and I wonder if we will ever see anything like harry potter again. My generation had the star wars series, this generation had the harry potter series. It all started with the books in 1997 then slowly people started hearing about this kids book called harry potter and everyone started reading it. Then the rest of the world discovered harry potter when the first movie came out in 2001. I thought harry potter was just some kids book then i saw grown ups, business men and women reading what i thought was just a kids book. I thought to myself i have to give this book a try and see what all this hype is about. I took it out from the library and was hooked right from the first page and when i finished reading that first book I wanted to start to reread it but i wanted to now read book 2 and after that i had to wait a little while then i got to read book 3 and I wanted book 4 but had to wait like a year for it to come out. This is the only book series where each book really is better then the last one. The last book did a wonderful job of wrapping up everything and the ending was perfect. I doubt we will ever see something like this grab the whole world like harry potter did. These books and movies had something for everyone.
My review of harry potter and the deathly hallows
I saw the last harry potter movie today and all i can say is WOW. I can,t remember the last time i was so excited for a movie like the last harry potter. IT WAS JUST EXCELLENT. THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. WHAT A FANTASTIC MOVIE. They got the end right. I could do the fanboy thing and nitpick the movie but it,s so good that i,m not going to do that. They did justice to snapes story, mrs.weasleys fight with bellatrix was great but sould have been longer, we do see ron and hermiones big kiss but it got changed which is too bad. Alan rickman gives his best performance ever in this last movie. It,s the most fun i have had at the movies in years. It is a 4 star movie. run out and see it.

Well arnold schwarzeneggers next movie will be a western. Yes Arnold really will be starring in a western movie. Everyone who knows me knows arnold is my all time fave action hero. I love arnold but i just can,t picture arnold in a western movie. I started to try to picture arnold as a cowboy and it just was,t working but then i thought if someone were to remake westworld then arnold would make perfect sense and if they cast arnold as the bad guy that be perfect casting. But this sounds like it will be a real western movie and if i can,t buy the idea of arnold in a western then hollywood is going to a hell of a hard time selling the idea of arnold in a western to movie fans. Oh i looked for westworld on amazon and found it for only 5$. Yes i ordered it. I want to hear what you think about the idea of arnold in a western movie.

Well john carpenters new movie came out today and it,s only playing at one movie theatre. I feel bad for john carpenter, his new movie seems like it never had a chance and to make it even worse it,s getting a very limited release. I always feel bad for any film maker that i like gets screwed like this. The movie sould have came out in the fall, like right before halloween. This movie will be a big bomb and make no money at all. When stuff like this happens to a film maker, it makes things harder for them to get there next movie made. The reviews on it have pretty much said it sucks which does,t surprise me because someone else wrote the movie and carpenter was hired to make it. I think carpenter only agreed to make it because he been away so long and must have just wanted to get his name out there again and remined people hey i,m still here. I expect his next movie will be his real return and will be a true blue john carpenter movie where he writes, dircets, does the music score. I guess i,ll wait for this movie to come out on dvd to see it.

I have watched the preview for batman year one and it looks excellent. This is a direct to dvd animated movie.

book review
I just finished reading the last spenser book by robert parker. The book is called sixkill. I,m going to start off by saying i,ll miss spending time with spenser and reading about his newest case he,s working on. I remember watching the tv show spenser for hire in reruns and was a fan of the show then much later on i picked up one of the spenser books and read it and after finishing it. I went back and started reading the book series from book 1 all the way up to the newest book that was out at the time. I became a big fan of the book series and i think the early books are still the best ones and the books did get better as they went on. Ever long running book series has it,s ups and downs, each book is hit or miss and after some point i feel the books became more miss then hit. It,s only because of how much i liked spenser that i kept reading each new book. It,s a shame the series ended with sixkill. It,s not a bad book but the story is somewhat better then the last few books and as much as i hate to say it but it was boring. Not nearly as exciting as the older books, only a few fights and one very fast gun fight. It was still fast paced and still funny. If your a spenser fan then take it out of the library or wait for the paperback to buy the book. I give the last spenser book 2 stars.

movie review
Heres my review of thor finally. I thought it was a fun movie. Thor is one of those superheros where i don,t know his whole history, gallery of bad guys. I still know enough that i was able to enjoy stuff the everyday movie goer missed. It was funnier then what i expected and of course hannibal lector was great as the king of the gods. The action was good, thors world looked cool. The f/x was good. The viking warrior girl was so good looking. So jim, mike or amanda if one of you could hook me up with her that be a great birthday gift. Chris hemsworth was great as thor, the casting was great for the movie. I would give thor 3 stars.
movie review
Heres my review of xmen first class. I have to start off by saying it,s first and foremost a spy movie. This is the best james bond movie that does,t have james bond in it. This is a excellent 60s cold war spy movie. The acting was really good. This is a story driven movie. You care about everyone in the movie. The action is just WOW, awesome as hell. The f/x is great. The bond girls sorry i sould say xgirls were beautful. I would give it 4 stars. This may be the best xmen movie yet.
Movie review
Ok heres what i think of the comic book movies we have gotten so far this summer, xmen first class was excellent, thor was a great and fun movie but green lantern could have been so much better. I can be and am a fanboy when it comes to comic book movies and after just reading a excellent green lantern tradeback and watching a excellent animated movie, this live action movie could and sould have been so much better. My biggest problem with the movie was that they cast van wilder as green lantern and guess what thats how he played the role, van wilder as a superhero. We don,t get enough of OA, we don,t get enough of the other green lanterns, The big bad alien looked like a huge fart face. They spent too much time on earth. I did like the action, the f/x was good, the humor was decent. I did like the movie. I feel they missed the boat on this one. I give it 2 and a half stars.

If you heard a vader yell of NOOOOOOOOO today, it came from me because i read we will not get a 3nd and final hellboy movie. I loved the hellboy movies and was excited to see how del tero would end his take on hellboy. I guess this means the series is done for now which makes me sad. I really wanted one more movie to finish off the series. If and this is a huge IF we got another movie they could do a movie based on one of the comic books. They could do a whole new series without stepping on the toes of the 2 movies we already have and this way if del tero ever changes his mind and does makes a 3d movie to finish off his series that be sweet. Theres now more then 10 years of hellboy comics to chose from to make into a movie. Which hellboy story would you want to see get made into a movie?

WOW I can,t believe i now have to wait until the fall to find out what happens next. Last nights episode was really good. We finally found out just who river song is and no i,m not going to tell anyone who has not seen it yet. This episode did answer alot of stuff but by the end we have a million ? about so much stuff. Matt smith is starting to become my new fave doctor of this series. Matt smith is just cool as the doctor. The doctors friends amy and rory, amy i have loved right from the start but rory i did,t like and he seemed more like a useless 3d wheel but slowly i have started to really like him. Rory has been growing and has really come into his own. I liked rory did step up and was ready to kick ass to save amy. Theres so much i want to talk about but since i don,t know if anyone but myself has been watching doctor who, i don,t want to give away anything. It sucks not having anyone to talk to about whats been happing on doctor who. Doctor who comes back in the fall.

movie news
John carpenter comes out with his new movie the ward this july. This is carpenters first new movie in 10 years and it,s being put out during the summer when it will get it,s ass kicked by harry potter 7, transformers 3. I feel bad for john carpenter, his new movie will bomb and really make no money because everyone and his brother, mother will be going to see all the big summer blockbusters. I,m a lifelong john carpenter fan so i,m help support my old pal carpenter and see his new movie opening weekend.
comic book news
Well DC comics is going to restart all of there comic book series. When i say all of them that means every series will get rebooted. We are talking superman, batman, wonder woman, JL. We already have gotten no less then 3 new orgin storys for superman in the last 2 years and this means another orgin story for the man of steel. We already have a great classic take on batmans orgin with frank millars batman year one plus the new batman movies did a great job of telling us how bruce wayne became batman in batman begins. I think it is a awful idea and they are doing it just to make money and i say after 6 months or mybe a year they will listen to us true blue comic fans and go back to the original numbering for each comic book. DC comics will put out the new rebooted series on aug 31. Well true believers tell me what you think of this idea.

movie news
The first teaser preview for the new muppet movie is now online. I just watched it and it,s short but good. It is the movie i,m most excited for this year. It makes me happy seeing the muppets come back to the big screen in what looks like will be a fun movie. Theres a new muppet and i don,t know his name but so far i,m not liking him. I don,t know what it is but this new muppet is just not doing anything for me right now. I would love to see this new muppet movie with my nephew and godson. This is the kind of movie you sould see with alot of people. The muppets come out at thanksgiving.

movie news
We will get a 3d riddick movie and it will be rated R. It will even start filming this summer. This is good news for those of us that were fans of pitch black. The 2nd riddick movie was PG-13 and even though i thought it was a good movie and even andrew liked it and he was never a big scifi fan. The movie had alot of cool and good ideas but that PG-13 kept it from being as good as it could have been.
tv news
I just read edward james olmos will join dexter for it,s 6th season. Edward james olmos must be a really big fan of the show or they must have a excellent storyline planned for dexters new season. He,s not the type of actor i would think of to do a horror show. Has anyone ever seen dexter?

random thought of the day
Why is it that we never seem to have a real spring. It seems we go from winter to summer and the only way we know it sould be spring is because of all the rain we get. It,s so hot i want to put in my A/C right now. I,ll be putting in my A/C sometime this weekend. I heard we may get a remake of stephen kings carrie. As most people know carrie was kings first book and it was the first movie based on one of his books and the movie is still a classic. Yes it,s very much a 70s movie, it,s not as scary as it was when it first came out and some parts are now campy but for the most part it still holds up as a good movie and it,s still one of the best movies based on a stephen king book. horror of horrors is megan fox wants to star in the movie as carrie. The whole point of the story is that this everyday girl who is shy, scard of her own shadow is bullyed at school and home and she finds out she has these powers and when she is finally pushed too far, she gets even with everyone. carrie is meant to be a everyday girl, she,s not good looking. megan fox is just wrong for the part because she is too good long and she can,t act her way out of a paper bag. You need a actress who no one has ever heard of and knows how to act.

My friends and i used to joke about if the world did end, we be at this toys r us which is now gone. I was surprised that no one had put up a youtube video of that song it,s the end of the world until i just checked facebook and saw someone did put up a really funny video of that song.

Seth macfarlane is talking about rebooting the flintstones. I,ll write up tomorrow what i think about this idea.
random thought of the day
I been lazy and i still plan on writing a review for thor. This random thought is about robert parker and his last book sixkill. His last book, which was a spenser book came out last week and no i have not read it yet. I plan on rereading the whole spenser series from start to end. I,m very surprised that i have not read any reviews for robert parkers last book. I have heard theres plans to hire a new arthor to write new spenser books and you know what, i think thats a bad idea. Whenever someone trys to pick up and keep a series going after the original arthor as died it,s never the same and it,s never as good. As much as i liked the spenser books, the newer books were not nearly as good as the older books but just reading and spending time with spenser was what made each book as enjoyable as it was. I think they sould just let the book series end and mybe start doing a movie series or bring back the tv show spenser for hire. There are 39 spenser books, so they have many books to choose from to turn into movies. I rather see my favorite boston PI on the big or small screen instead of someone else trying to write new books. After i have read the last spenser book by robert parker, I,m done with the books and i,ll have robert parkers books to enjoy and reread. I,ll never read a spenser book by anyone else, i don,t care how good they might be but because i know robert parker did,t write it means i,ll never read it.

Doctor who review
Here is my review for the premire of doctor who. It starts off with a bang. The first 2 episodes were filmed here in the US. This was the first time doctor who has been filmed in the U.S.A The season starts off with the doctor being killed and then we see the doctor is alive and well. We see the doctor and his friends travel back to 1969 before the moon landing. I think the main story line for this season will be who killed the doctor and why. It was funny, shocking, it kept you guessing and it ends on a cliffhanger. I think it is off to a great start and i think this season could be even better then last year. Theres one big surprise that i don,t want to give away but it will be interesting to see how it plays out though the season.

Doctor who news
Sad news everybody, Elisabeth Sladen who played sarah jane smith on doctor who died yesterday. She was 63 years old. She was my favorite actress on the original doctor who. They were already filming series 5 of her show the sarah jane adventures. They have 5 epiodes already filmed for the new series. I wonder what they will do about her show. I hope they don,t recast the part, she was and always will be SARAH JANE SMITH to me and all doctor who fans.

scream 4 review
I may update or change this review tomorrow or at some point if i see the movie again. Here are my first thoughts on scream 4, it,s 100 times better then the last movie. Just so people know where i,m coming from, I loved scream 1 and 2 but did,t like part 3. This was a good movie. The idea of it being a remake or reboot of the series is such a great idea but they just don,t do enough with the idea. They make fun of the saw movies by saying theres been 7 stab movies. For anyone who knows these movies thats the movie series within the scream films. The opening of the movie was fun, cool and funny. The original cast was good, everyone knows no one will win any oscars for the acting in these movies. It did have some good funny bits and lines. Yes it,s more bloody then scary. I feel this one could have been as smart,scary and funny as the first one but it missed the mark. There were a few times it did go too over the top. Oh forget what you have heard or read online but all of the original cast live though this one. Reviewing stuff like scream 4 is not as easy as it used to be. People know i did like the bloody, gore stuff but now i really don,t care about it. I went to see this new one because it has gotten mostly good reviews and i,m still a fan of the series. I would give it 3 stars.

andrew
On monday it will be 5 years since andrew died. I can,t believe it,s been 5 years, that does not seem possible. This is not easy for me, i don,t know what to say. I been trying not to think about it because it just makes me sad. I was in the car with mom one day and we started talking about how andrews ann was coming up soon and i said i been trying not to think about it and i started to cry a little bit. I,m crying as i type this. This is a hard time of year for all of us. I been rereading a star wars book andrew got me one year for xmas or my bday. I always try to watch funny stuff around this time of year to make myself feel better. Like i wrote about on my blog, we are having a get together tomorrow to remember andrew and talk about him and his life. My parents really want his friends to tell lots of storys about andrew. Mom just said things were never boring with andrew and that is true. On monday we are going to andrews grave and put a little flower on his grave for every year he,s been gone. It was katies idea to do that. Andrew would be excited that the baseball season just started and he be watching the games with dad and his friends. Andrew always loved going to red sox games. I miss andrew so much. I love you andrew. I wish you could have gotten to know luke, he,s such a awesome little kid or as katie calls him, a little man. I wish you could have met my godson connor.

the A-team movie review
As a child of the 80s, i loved the A-TEAM. It was such a kick ass action packed show and also really funny plus how could you not love MR.T, he was cool and badass as B.A, the tough guy of the a-team. So i had to see the movie and I have to say i was expecting the movie to be a dumb and crappy. I was surprised at how much i liked it. The movie is so insane and over the top. It,s more like a looney tunes cartoon. The movie is funny. I still like the original cast better then this new cast. I could,t believe how crazy the action was. liam neeson was good as hannibal, bradley cooper was perfect as face, the new actors playing B.A.baracus and murdock were good. This new murdock was even more crazy and nuts and the guy playing B.A. did a good job but he,s no MR.T. I think anyone who liked the old tv show will at least enjoy the movie.

well great news for 007 fans, we will be getting a new james bond movie and yes dan craig will be back as bond. They are saying we sould see the new bond movie come out next nov. I,m excited seeing how MGM went broke and no one knew what would happen to our fave movie spy. I,m also happy craig will be back as 007. I like his take on bond, his first movie kicked ass, the last one was still good but could have been better. So i,m going to ask you james bond fans, what to do want to see in the next 007 movie. We have yet to see moneypenny or Q, what about more gadgets, toys, super car. I rather see them stick with this real world take on bond and see a true blue spy movie instead of a over the top CGI action movie. I rather a from russia with love instead of die another day. If bond does need gadgets i rather see them be something a real spy would have instead of something you only see in a movie. Who would you want to play moneypenny and Q.

machete review
I been wanting to see machete for awhile now. It was the best of the fake movie previews from grindhouse. I,m surprised how enjoyable it was. The movie is very over the top and gory as hell. Even i did,t think it be as bloody as it was. The movie did have too much CGI for a grindhouse type of movie.No one will win any acting awards because they will all cheesy or hammy. Robert deniro was pretty funny. I never thought i see the day where deniro and steven seagal would be in the same movie. Poor steven seagal, the guy was once a decent action hero now he just is a hammy actor. I was hoping to see a bit of the old seagal but at this point i bet even i could kick his big ass. All the women were pretty hot looking, even lindsay lohan looked good. We got to see michelle rodriguez and jessica alba kick ass. Danny Trejo as Machete was perfect. He made for a good over the top action hero. If you don,t like movies that are bloody and very gory then this movie is not for you. I,m kind of surprised at how much i liked it because i really don,t go for the gory stuff anymore. I give it 3 stars.

Happy new year everyone. I know that i,m having this psychic event right after xmas and i understand everyone just spent a crap load of money on xmas. I hate to be a pain in the ass but i,m going to ask everyone to please send me a reply telling me if your coming next saturday or not. I will understand if you don,t want to spend the money or if you just don,t believe in psychics. I,m hoping the marshfield family will be coming since this was the first xmas i never saw you guys. When one of my aunts did this not everyone had a one on one with the paychic she had and we had fun just hanging out and talking. So if you don,t want to have a one on one with the psychic, your welcome to come and just hang out. When i had my cookout last summer, alot of people never did reply back to me and thats why i,m asking you PLEASE SEND ME A REPLY, if you don,t want to come and are worried about hurting my feelings i,ll understand because you don,t believe in psychics or just don,t want to spend the money. I just want to know one way or the other if people are coming or not. I hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
