Happy belated New Year!

Wadup been a while.Hoping you all had a good year last year and have a better one this year.This year started of rough with the loss of my grandfather.May he rest in peace, he was a good man.Well on that note there is a lot to talk about:-


Watched The Break Up with Jen and Vince, it was ok I guess I mostly watched coz of Jen and Vince it was nothing special, Jen is hot as usual, Vince is funny, nothing new there. Watched Red Dust starring Hillary Swank and that Dirty Pretty things dude. Effi something , he is very underrated hopefully he can do a mainstream movie and get recognized more.The movie was about the douchebags who beat up black people in South Africa, there was a process that apparently let the douchebags go free for their crimes if they stated truthfully what aweful things they did to blacks many years ago.The movie was quite good, Swank is one of the best actresses in the business if not the best and Effi did a great job, check it out if you want to know what those douchebags did to black people in South Africa many years ago.

I also watched World Trade Centre. Oliver Stone does a great job in focusing mainly on the two characters the story is about which is true by the way.The movie is well acted however I think I am through watching movies with themes or anything to do with 911, I think that chapter needs to be put to rest, we will never forget that's for sure.I then watched The Davinci Code.I have read the book so I was interested to see how the movie would turn out. I had read that there were grumblings about Tom Hanks but frankly I didn't see what the fuss was about, I think the movie did a great job with the story and it held my attention the whole way.I however think that reading the book before watching will help you enjoy the movie more.The whole story is controversial but I enjoyed myself.Funny that the other book Angels and Demons is actually better than Davinci so the movie should be a blast, I read it will be in production sometime this year, looking forward to it for sure.

In other news the whole Grey's Anatomy fiasco is barreling into oblivion.Yes Isaiah shouldn't have said that word and later on REPEATED it at the Globes but to call for his dismissal from the show is a joke in my opinion.He made a mistake and apologised everyone needs to stop whining and let it go especially the media , I was actually annoyed that the scuffle was brought up again at the globes.The show is still young and will be greatly affected if ABC screws this up, apparently there are rumors that ABC is planning on firing Isaiah, I really hope they don't do this, infact there are rumblings that they will just put up some lame message before the programme that he is no longer on the show.I think it will be aweful to fire him as he is a significant part of the show as much as the mcdreamy and mcsteamy stuff goes you can't squeeze that stuff forever the show will disintegrate into garbage.Dr. Burke's character is a nice change with all the Meredith this and Meredith that. Some comments in other forums are comparing the incident with the use of the N word which is nuts in my opinion.I like T.R and Isaiah and believe this should be handled on the set by the actors.ABC has few hits, Lost is fading, and the only other show they have with solid ratings is the Dancing with the Stars fiasco although I watch it sometimes if there are contestants I enjoy seeing succeed. Am sure there are worse things that have been said over the years to co stars so ABC don't do something dumb.

American Idol is back and so far we have seen how addictive this show is it's ratings are actually better than ever and is helping Fox close the gap in the 18-49 demo. Simon is nasty as ever, Randy is also brutal nowadays, Paula is odd at times , sometimes she looks like she is in a trance and other times she looks like she is actually among us on Earth. So far no one has really jumped up mostly it's just the train wrecks.It is always amusing to watch people with delusions of becoming the next AI.

In football the bears kept on winning with mediocre to poor offense but great defense.Saints turned the ball over a billion times, against the bears it's curtains.Drew Brees had a good year, Reggie Bush is super talented, speaking of bush I saw some people bash his celebrations, please........ he is young and having fun not everyone is LT infact if everyone was like LT the league would be very very boring to say the least.Manning finally managed to win a big game, hopefully he wins the big on in 2 weeks and can now cease to hear the phrase "Manning is one of the best quarterbacks but.........".The key to winning for the colts is simple NO TURNOVERS. They have AV the greatest clutch kicker ever, hang on to the ball colts and you have this in the bag.

Barbara Walters needs to buy a muzzle for Rosie, she is now passsed annoying and needs to be told to STFU immediately.I could go on but we could be here all day, have a good week nice to be back.
