January 2012 Archives

Since about 2003, I have not had cable nor satellite. Then why do a t.v. show review blog? Well there is a thing called a cable modem which gives me high speed internet, which I now can watch everything online! So when I say "T.V. show" I think I mean more internet show!

Flight of the Concords Season 1 and 2 LOVED IT! I liked season 1 better than season 2, I thought season 1 was funnier. My favorite is Jermaine's impression of David Bowie, so good! And it just happened that Murray follows me on Twitter! Sad it only ended after 2 seasons, but I think I heard they are making a Flight of the Concords movie?!

Portlandia Put a bird on it this show is so good! Hilarious, very entertaining. I hope it never Cacao!

Downton Abbey
Season 1 was fantastic and currently season 2 is on! Love everything about! Although I thought the first episode of the second season was so crammed with stuff because they had to review the first season a bit and then get in all the new story lines! There is a lot to take in!

Parks and Recreation This show is great! I think Amy Poehler is the Lucille Ball of our time. The cast is hilarious!

The other shows that I like to watch: The Office, 30 Rock, Up all Night, Saturday Night Live, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, and New Girl!

With so much happening, I have a backlog of movie reviews to share with you:

Crazy Heart Loved this movie! Loved the music!

The Social Network I thought it was a good movie, well acted, but a big part of me wanted to delete my facebook account after that. Did I, no but I really considered it, even though I consider it daily, such a time suck!

Morning Glory This film is so cute! It's a typical romantic comedy. I think Patrick Wilson is adorbs! The whole cast is good. But the name of the fictional network is called IBS. And it distracted me the whole time for IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. All I could think of was well . . . you know.

Fantastic Mr. Fox Loved it! Really creative, well done stop motion animation! I enjoy all Wes Anderson movies and he always has such a great soundtrack!

Bright Star Such a beautiful film, well done. I'm just a sucker for english period drama pieces and this one is gorgeous.

Whip It Really well done film. A definite tribute to all the girls that don't "fit in". Of course, it has a really good soundtrack.

Hangover Out of Control! I haven't seen the second one and honestly, I don't think I want to, too scared!

Leap Year It's cute! I'm a sucker for cute english/irish actors and Matthew Goode is um . . . good! Wasn't the best movie ever but it's has some "charms". Get it charms . . . lucky charms . . . Ireland???!!!

Inception Loved everything about this movie. Of course it has some of my boyfriends in it, Leo, Joey, Tom!

Trigger When I saw the trailer for this film, I was like wow I have to see this. Finally was able to watch in on demand and a bit disappointed. The two friends were in a band together, band breaks up, they go their separate way and meet again 10 years later and hash it out. The only good thing is the music. The one song featured on there is a great song, I have not figured out who wrote and performed the music because that was the only highlight of the movie.

Super 8 Great movie! The cast is just well picked. Even though it was produced by Spielberg, it's such a great tribute to his early films like E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Goonies. Just brilliantly done.

Where the Wild Things Are? Enjoyed the movie. I thought it was a bit slow moving. I know a lot of people thought it was a bit scary but I didn't think it was, maybe for younger children. Maybe just read the book to them!

So there is more but I think this should hold you till the next movie review blog!

This is sort of my mantra for 2012:

if it can be fixed; fix it.

if it can be used; use it.

if it can be recycled; recycle it.

if it can be thrown away; throw it away.

if it can be donated; donate it.

if it can be made; make it.

if it can be sold; sell it.

We all live in bottle:

a bottle of milk;

a bottle of soda pop;

a bottle of booze;

a bottle of pills
