Survivor

Before I burst into gleeful giggling over the vote that just went down, let me start by saying: who the heck directed this episode??? When the showdown between Rupert and Coach was starting I thought that maybe Coach was about to pass out because of the slow-mo and foreshadowing music. Then as the Villains were going to tribal counsel the music and slow-mo walking along the beach?? This is not the style of my classic Survivor that I so very much was expecting in this season that is reflecting so much on all that Survivor has always been. I really was excited for the Heroes to get their stuff together and dominate during the challenge today. It was a nice breath of fresh air. Mostly because I want things to even out a little. I am cheering for too many people on each tribe that it is hard for me to pick a favorite tribe, just favorite survivors. I agree with Parvati that Jeri is a dried up old Cougar. Her performance during the challenge was pathetic, especially considering how she considers herself one of the strongest women on the tribe. While we're talking labels, I can not help but point out how shockingly honorable Coach was. Just moments before going to tribal he says he is the one last honorable player in the game and says that he will try with every last fiber in him to keep Randy there. Then..... he writes Randy's name down?!?!!? Wow. As quoted by the great Russell, "Coach is a joke." Now that Sugar and Randy are gone, I am quite content with the way things are going. What are your thoughts on the season so far? I love how I already know all of the survivors this season. Usually I am spending the first 3 or 4 episodes stil trying to figure out who I like. I really would like to see a return of the black widows alliance of Parvati, Cirie and Amanda. And could someone please tell me who Danielle is? I think they showed her twice on this episode, once with mud in her teeth and once at camp with her lady lumps falling out of her top.I am fairly sure they have not shown her yet this season. But again, that is a pretty good strategy she has going. It has gotten a lot of people pretty far. This was a great week in Survivor, but judging by the previews I am not so excited for next week. Why can't Rob and Russell just realize that they would make the best alliance ever and stop fighting? Rob and Russell were meant to be together and they need to stop fighting and just be in love.

Lets get it started

I am starting this blog after becoming abnormally irate when hearing about the negative review given to the movie Valentine's Day by Entertainment weekly. As a 20 something female I happen to perticularly enjoy a romantic comedy. I look forward to them coming out and don't mind when it is predictable that the guy and girl will fall in love at the end. This particular reviewer gave Valentine's Day an F. AN F!!! How? While this movie was not the all time best romantic comedy that I had ever seen, it was good and definatly not deserving of an F. Aside from calling this delightful movie "crap" the critic (Lisa Schwartzbaum, Entertainment Weekly's Debbie Downer) also insults the reader by saying that if you actually like this movie you must have sublevel intelligance and no taste. I am extrememly tired of critics telling me how to feel and tearing a movie apart by not seeing it for what it is. It is 2 hours of entertainment. That is it. For two hours you are able to dive into a different place and different situations that are meant to captivate you and consume you for two hours. If a movie is really great than it will get you thinking about it and talking about it long after that 2 hours is over. This blog is intended to give real views on movies. I will not tear them apart and tell you how unrealistic the plot was or how horrible the writing was. I will give you my honest opinion as to who may like a certain movie, and why you may not like it. Even the worst movies have people that really, truly enjoyed them. As for you Lisa Schwartzbaum: If you are so incapable of seeing a movie for what it really is, and not able to stop focusing so much on the negative aspect of everything, then you are missing out. Stop overthinking a movie and for those two hours just relax and enjoy the show. Maybe you will find yourself actually enjoying your job, because right now it sounds like a you a very unhappy woman.
