TV Review: 10 Things I Hate About You


Here's the Thing:


Last night ABC Family premiered their new television show, 10 Things I Hate About You, based on the hit 90's movie staring Julia Stiles, the late Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon Levitt and that girl from Alex Mack.

The television show stars Lindsey Shaw as Kat, Ethan Peck as Patrick , Nicholas Bran as Cameron, and Meghan Martin as Bianca.

When I first heard about this television adaptation, I was livid! How could they turn one of the best classic teen movies into an ABC Family show, where it was likely it would mirror the disaster that is Secret Life of the American Teenager. I vowed there was NO way that I would watch this show, even if Gregory Peck's grandson stars!

Alas, however, turn 8:00 I found myself sitting on my couch with my father and turning to ABC Family. I remember when he took me to see the movie when it came to the theaters, I thought I was so cool because it was my first PG-13 movie...I was 9 years old.

So I must say that I found the show charming. The plot deviates a bit from the movie, but that makes sense seeing as they have a whole series to stretch out. The show has everything that is needed for good entertainment; smoldering male lead- Ethan Peck is every bit as attractive as his grandfather was circa To Kill A Mockingbird (swoon), witty popular culture references- as Cameron watches his new love interest, Bianca, eat lunch with popular cheerleader, Chastity, he sighs, "it's too late, Voldemort's got her", a refreshing take a teen angst- Kat's rant on universal health care, and of course humorous one liners- Bianca complains " We aren't listening to NPR, it's giving me menopause"- as a listener to NPR, I chuckled.

During one scene in which Patrick is leaning on his motorcycle, with smoldering eyes, my friend Chis called me, and this is the conversation that we had.

Chis: Don't get mad at me
Me: What?
Chis: I'm watching 10 Things I Hate About You...
Me: hahaha, dude, it's cool, I succumbed as well
Chis: Okay, so the guy who plays Heath Ledger's character- that's how Edward should have acted in the Twilight movie
Me: Agreed, Pattinson is hot, but his acting SUCKED!...my dad is yelling that he can't hear the show, I'll call you when it's over.

After Chis made this observation, I couldn't help realizing that Lindsey Shaw would have made a really good Bella, looks wise AND her acting ability, of which Kristen Stewart has NONE.

Anyway, I actually really ended up liking the show. A-

Movie Review: Public Enemies


Here's the Thing:


Last night I went to see Public Enemies staring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

Taking place during the Great Depression, the film focuses on the true story of FBI agent, Melvin Purvis attempts to stop notorious bank robbers and criminals John Dilinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd.

All in all I really enjoyed the movie, and how can one not if Johnny Depp is starring in it? Not only is he attractive as hell. but in my opinion he is one of the most talented and versatile actors of our time. He strikes an uncanny resemblance to the real John Dilinger as well.

Normally I am a huge fan of Christian Bale as well, but to be honest he didn't really do it for me in this movie. I felt most of his acting for this role was done by intense staring and flaring nostrils, not to say that he didn't look hot doing it, but next to Depp's acting, it was really undermined.

The music was also awesome in this movie, my favorites score pieces were during the scenes in which Dilinger and his gang are robbing banks, it had an old west, guitar feeling to it.

All in all I give the movie a B+, and it's definitely a movie to see

R.I.P Michael Jackson


Here's the Thing:


Today, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, will be buried in Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn Cemetery.

A memorial ceremony will take place in the Staples Center in southern California. Tickets, which were in high demand, were given out lottery style to anyone who registered online. Many of the tickets won have been showing up on ebay for as little as $999 per ticket.

Furthermore, other tickets were given out to watch a live feed of the memorial service at the Nokia center across the street.

This Memorial service is no doubt going to get a little crazy with all the fans and celebrities showing up to pay their last respect to Michael.

Noticeably absent from the service will be Jackson's best friend, Elizabeth Taylor, and "mother" of his children, Debbie Rowe.

I would not call myself a die-hard fan of Michael Jackson, but I was certainly a fan of his music, and found myself countless times jamming out to his top hits. I definitely recognize and am saddened over the loss of such a musical sensation.

Dumb Bitch




Here's the Thing:
An Australian tabloid is claiming that the famed stuttering, disgusting whore aka Kristen Stewart is pregnant, and that Robert Pattinson is the father. That's hmmm. Renesme anyone?

I hate Kristen Stewart more than I hate anything in the WORLD. I hope to god that she is fo shiz up the spout, but it better not be with Robert Pattinson's child.
Despite the fact that I might want to kill her if she slept with him, I will control my jealous rage. However, I'm not sure the same can be said for the INSANE legions of fans, who call themselves Twihards.

Even if Kristen is not pregs, I'm glad she is getting fat.

Crazy Quotes from Megan Fox



Here's the Thing:


Megan Fox, like children, should be seen, and not heard.

In a new interview found on azcentral.com, Megan Fox claims that she and Zac Efron are the same person.

She states, " Zac Efron is my obsession, we're the same person. We're not actually here, it's like Janet and Michael Jackson. He just puts on his wig and a dress, and it's me, and you don't know that. It's one of the greatest mysteries of all time."

What the hell does that even mean?
