The end and The Station Agent

Well the tv season came to an end yesterday.Taylor Hicks was crowned the next american idol on a very entertaining finale.The idea to have the age requirements raised was an excellent idea as we probably watched the most talented bunch this season.Several of the top 12 are capable of getting record contracts, funny thing is I think Chris may sell more records than the final two.Its nice to see a 29 year old get a chance at fulfilling his dream when most of the time by 29 you are normally too late to get into the game.

Lost ansewered several questions last night while leaving a couple unanswered.We found out what may have caused the plane to crash, who owned the boat but the more interesting thing was the ending where some dudes found an electromagnetic anomaly which may have been from Desmond turning that key and the ensuing drama.Michael got Walt back and sped of in a crappy boat in search of rescue although it remains to be seen if he will be successful.Apparantly "Henry Gale" is the leader of the "others" and now has Jack, Sawyer and "freckels" (sp) in custody wth Hurley being released to go back to the camp and tell the others to never attempt to come to that part of the island.All in all it was a good episode and am interested to see what develops next season.

This tv season was probably the most enjoyable in a long time.New shows, Prison Break, What about Brian?, heck even the cancelled Conviction were fun to watch.It was a ratings war all season with many shows getting the axe or coming to an end leading to an uncertain future as new shows prepare for lauch next season.There are a couple of good shows from the glimpses I have seen but we all know none of that matters if no one watches their premieres.I had a blast and as we delve into re- run hell it will be good for me to catch up with shows I missed like , las vegas, csi so atleast there is that although mostly I will be watching movies and living on netflix until the new season begins in 3-4 months.

I watched a good movie last night, called the Station Agent about a dwarf named Vinnie who moves to inner New Jersey after inheriting a piece of land.His struggles to fit in with his size, it was interesting to watch especially considering he preferred mostly to stay by himself and was a man of few words, the vendor Joe played by Bobby Canavale was well acted and amusing at times, Patricia Clarkson was good as usual in her role as a separated wife trying to come to grips with the loss of her marriage and son while at the same time befriending Vinnie.I highly recommend you check it out it was a very nice movie.Independent movies are where its at considering the amount of drivel in the theatres nowadays.The new Superman looks interesting, should be interesting to see how it does with a relatively unknown actor playing Superman, if that does well the dude is on his way to major stardom.I guess its cheaper to cast an unknown as he won't demand much money especially considering they probably have him locked up for atleast 2 movies although eventually he will get paid especially if the movie does well, I predict it will do a minimum of 200 mill domestic you heard it hear first! adios.

Shanghai Bound.....

Bauer hour came to an exciting end last night.Jack was able to save all as usual however he is not in the best of shape as he is now bound for Shanghai were things don't look good.I knew something was up with the way Jack allowed himself to be arrested after kidnapping the President.The ratings were at an all time high proving people have not gotten bored of Bauer actually its the opposite which is a good thing coz bauer signed a 4 or 5 yr deal to continue his shenanigans.Sucks that we have to wait until next year however its all good coz one good thing about 24 is once it starts there are no re runs or breaks its fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride every Monday night.

AI today where the final two will probably perform a plethora of songs as they await the final showdown tomorrow where Taylor will win barring any surprises.Mc Cleavage is nice to look at and can actually sing but has no chance of beating Taylor.All in all it was a strong edition of AI this year with a lot of talent, bodes well for coming seasons.I watched Jarhead last weekend and was very impressed, it was a very good movie and reminded us about the gulf war, Jake G did a good job and will be winning some awards soon as he is a good actor.Two for the money was another movie I watched, it was also good, basically I can watch anythign with Pacino as he is that good, it was interesting to see just how degenerate sports gambling is, one minute you are on top of the world the next minute you are at the bottom of the barrel wondering how you lost it all, the highs and lows are pretty drastic and you better have a strong heart to withstand the ups and downs.Season finale of House today lets go...

Monday Mayhem and Boston legal

Well Monday was one for the ages.Deal or no deal 2hrs, Prison Break season finale, 24, 2hrs of Greys Anatomy finale phew.Unbelievably I don't have tivo or a vcr so I unfortunately missed the grey's finale which is unbelievable, hopefully I will catch a re run sometime down the road.

Prison Break was very good as the inmates struggled to escape the clutches of the cops as a dragnet was put out for their capture.Apparently the guy Linc supposedly killed is alive and well lounging in some montana mansion.That doc who had a thing for Scofield seemed to have attempted to OD hopefully she makes it back as she is hot!.The ending was awesome with the inmates reaching the airstrip just as the jet was taking of and having to run into the woods with the cops in hot pursuit.Very good ending can't wait for next season.

Bauer was also very good.They all found out what Miles did and Jack almost choked him to death but was stopped by Hughes.Bierko has big plans and is now in control of a sub with missles so things are looking grim although as usual Jack will save the day or won't he? wouldn't that be something if Jack fails for once? hehe.Two hour season finale next week, should be groovy, too bad we will probably have to wait until next year for more 24 but that's ok coz atleast once it premieres it goes on without repeats which is great especially considering how the show is structured.

As for Grey's it sucks I couldn't watch it, I had an opportunity to watch the last hour but I forced myself not to.If am going to watch the finale I want to watch it from start to finish.I read it decimated all competition ratings wise and also it will be moving to Thursday next season to battle C.S.I, I must say this is a bold move coz Grissom and his gang have been devouring every one that dares to air along side them.I think it will do great coz it has developed a solid fan base, hopefully it becomes as successful as ER in it's heyday.

In other news many, many shows got the axe including , Conviction which I found worked but a Friday timeslot killed it from the beginning, Invasion,Surface, Threshold which sucked by the way and several others that I didn't even watch.My show What about Brian? barely made it as it was saved by it's strong finale ratings and it's producer some dude called JJ.Abrams.I hope it does well next season otherwise it will be amputated quickly, it faces some tough competition in C.S.I Miami so we will have to see what develops.

Boston Legal had it's season finale yesterday.The always hot Jeri Ryan was starring and looked great as usual.She managed to escape going to jail for shooting a paparazzi.This show is often funny and with Denny Crane and Alan Shore it should do well, however it will never be as good as The Practice.Well that is all, it was a good night on Monday that's for sure.

Best night of TV in a while

First am a huge David Blaine fan, more so for his magic tricks than for his endurance attempts.That being said you have to admit this guy is entertaining.I will watch David over Copperfield or any other stage magician any day.There are many magicians, many who claim to be better than Blaine but how many can do the endurance stunts he does? not many if any.In last nights stunt titled David Blaine drowned alive David was going to attempt to break the record for holding your breath under water which is at 8:58, while tied up in chains.He did not manage to do so but still stayed under water for over 7 mins and I believe without the energy spent unlocking himself from the chains he could have broken the record.The story of that female diver who died after diving due to a mishap with the equipment was sad and shows just how dangerous diving can be.Blaine's street magic involving eating part of a martini glass and several card tricks were great.Looking forward to future stunts from DB.

Prison Break was en fuego last night.The inmates managed to escape to just over the prison wall although they are being chased as their attempted escape has been found out.That mental dude actually managed to follow the inmates until it was time to cross over to the prison wall, he may be mental but he is smart as well.The injured old dude couldn't make it as well as the big dude.The doc managed to leave the door to the infirmary open although she is struggling with her decision as evidenced by her crying in her car.Scofield managed to have his brother transfered to the infirmary where a funny moment happened when the inmates poured into the infirmary the guard guarding Linc immediately surrendered saying it was not worth $12 an hour to get killed by escaping inmates, still got knocked out though.Wonder what will happen when the inmates discover that Abruzzi has only space for a few on the plane, should be interesting to see what develops.Poor dude who helped linc's ex not get killed ended up getting smoked as well as his dad.Next week PB should go out with a bang as the inmates attempt to escape the rampaging prison guards and dogs.

Bauer hour was also on fire as well.Bauer and the pilot managed to avoid turning into a christmas tree by landing on a freeway.There was a nice moment when the president appeared to be ready to blow his brains out, but managed to avoid doing so atleast until he sees what that douchebag that works with Karen hughes does about the recording.He definitely did something with some device when he was chatting with Chloe while she was preparing the recording for the attorney general.Apparently Heller survived his dive of a cliff in his car and is in a hospital somewhere.Next week should be a doozy as Chloe, Jack and the rest find out that there is a problem with the recording, oh and Bierko managed to escape so there is still lots of drama left to unravel.

The season finale of what about Brian? was yesterday.Dave found out his wife is cheating on him although its his fault as he didn't object to the open marriage suggestion his wife made.The irony is just as she is ending her fling with that dude he decides it's his turn to have an affair, typical reaction really.Majorie went to Brian's place in an attempt to clear the air with her and Lisa b unfortunately Lisa didn't buy her attempt and later told Brian that there was something between him and Majorie.Brian then went to confront Majorie where they had a huge arguement about what is or isn't between them with Adam watching and hopefully not listening from outside.That's how it ended actually hopefully that this wasn't the series finale as well, I believe this show works and if put on a less competitive nigtht it could excel although am biased hehe.All in all the night was action and drama packed clearly showing that Monday night is the must see night on tv no longer Thursday's.In an ideal world all nights would be this good.

Grey's

Grey's was good as usual.Yang fell asleep while having sex with Burke claiming she was tired and had "finished" twice however Burke hadn't finished once!hehe.Shepard literally called Meredith a whore leaving her to say she is banging all these dudes because he dumped her.There was a tear jerker moment when a dude who had caused a fatal accident asked to apologise to the family of the dead patient.The scene between him and the father of the dead patient was well acted and directed, if you didn't choke up a lil bit atleast you have some problems.George neglected to defend the hygiene behaviour of his squeeze which was amusing.Breaking news!!! George actually said a few words to Meredith and ACTUALLY looked at her when speaking to her, guess he is trying to put that debacle between them behind them.Danny or Denny had some issues with his heart pacemaker leading to Izzy once again comforting him which is actually against policy, guess you shouldn't get attached to patients.Overall the season is coming to an end with a 3 hr 2 day season finale which should be great, can't believe summer is almost here and we will soon be in re run hell although it will give me a chance to catch up with some shows I haven't watched all season.Well today promises to be a good night with loads of watching material Blaine, deal or no deal, prison break, bauer and the season hopefully not series finale of what about brian? let's go...........

Forman, Lost

House was the second part of a great two parter which featured probably the best two episodes of House ever.Forman was fighting for his life as House and the other docs tried to figure out what the heck was killing him.The raw emotional parts between Forman , Cameron, Cutty and his dad were well done and I hope he gets nominated for a supporting role in a drama series.It's always interesting to see the feelings churned up when you realise there is a possibility that you could die.It was also great to see House show that he cares for once as evidenced by the arguements between him and his buddy.He was determined to not risk turning Forman into a vegetable although eventually Cameron authorised the brain biopsy just as House found out what Parasite was feasting on Forman's brain cells.All in all this show is very very good and continues to own severely, season finale should be a banger!.

Lost was very good as well, the ending though was what left you on the edge of your seat, what with Michael shooting Ana lucia and Libby I mean I didn't see that coming at all.I wonder what is in store for us as we approach the season finale.Just when you think you have things figured out a curve ball is thrown and now you are just fastening your seatbelt to enjoy the ride, kind of like 24.One thing they need to watch out though is the long long breaks they take between new episodes.As a fan the re runs really suck , re runs only work for shows like C.S.I and comedies but not shows that have mystery and lots of twists and turns.O.C and ER tonight lets go.....

Scofield, Bauer, What about me?

PB was on fire last night.That knucklehead prison guard found the hole and now the inmates have to bust out tonight.Scofield trusting the doc and hoping the feelings she has for him help her by leaving the door unlocked that night is a gamble which just may work, especially after her visit with her dad.Apparently she is a recovering addict as shown when she almost entered a pub to throw a few down.That old dude is one tough individual he managed to over power that guard and tie him up all with a pretty bad stab wound.All in all things are heating up as they should as the season finale approches.

Bauer was also enfuego.Bauer managed to take control of the plane after almost being knocked out in the baggage area.Chloe managed to escape capture and is at a hotel tasering some dude while using wifi to help Bauer.Mike is getting annoyed at not knowing what the hell the President and his wife are keeping from him.As always the ending left you salivating for next monday with those fishy dudes telling the president to shoot down the plane that should be interesting to see next week, can't wait!!!

What about Brian was also good.Brian was having the best weekend possible, banging a hot chick repeatedly all day long, what more can a guy ask for? we got to see that even though Brian is not settled down like his buddies, they still need him as evidenced by the billion phone calls from all of them.That Lisa chick is quite hot if only that could become reality? hehe.Otherwise the night was a rollicking success, now if only all the nights could have this great quality programming? then they would stop getting spanked by good shows on cable.Have a good day and night.......

Grey's Anatomy

One of the best shows on tv came back after a month of re-runs and didnt miss a step.George is much more confident nowadays and is now in a relationship with a hot mama.Meredith is trying to stay celibate after the George debacle but is having problems after meeting her vet.Korev is back to form annoying everyone as usual.The one person that is not watching this show is missing out big time.Get to it immediately!! Otherwise the lakers won and now we have one more game to move on to the second round.This is by far the best coaching Phil jackson has ever done bar none.PB, Bauer, and ME tonight sweet.
