Wow, haven't been here in a LONG time, haven't written a blog in an even longer one. I just finished my freshman year of college. I went to my local Community College, CSI, or College of Staten Island, and I kind of regret it. Without the whole living on your own thing, it just sorta feels like a slightly different high school, at least so far it does. Besides that, nothing interesting has happened to me since I was last here, I really do lead a boring life...

And on that slightly depressing note, lets talk about TV baby, I mean that is what this site is for isn't it. The Lost season finale just aired last week and damn I LOVED it. This season as a whole has been slightly dissapointing. After a great start it seemed to lose alot of momentum in the middle, but it definetely picked up towards the end. I mean damn, first off, in one hour they killed off three members of the original cast. I'm definetely gonna miss Jin, he be the man. Yunjin Kim's performance in the finale was excellent, porbably the best stuff she's done since season one. And Micheal didn't affect me much since I barely even realised he was back. I mean seriously, what's the point of bringing the guy back just to kill him a couple of eps later, such a wasted opportunity. And damn, Locke is the guy in the coffin, damn, did not see that one coming. Also didn't expect the Oceanic Six to be rescued so quickly. And there rescue was a very exciting one, I mean damn, their helicopter went down straight into the ocean (not killing any of em, even the baby, cause obviously, as evidenced by Michael, you can only die when the island wants you to die, or something). Loved the rescue by Penny, I should of saw it coming when I saw the boat, but I was too damn caught up in the ep to even think about it. Desmond and Penny's reunion was so touching, just beautiful. Hope that Dan dude isn't gone, he was my favorite of the freighter folk. I have no idea where they're gonna go next season, back on the island in the present with flash-forwards to the oceanic six, or will there be a permanent jump to the future (like Desperate Housewives) we were first introduced to in last years finale? That's what I'm really curious about.

Speaking of Desperate Housewives I'm still shocked by the five year jump. And I'm still pissed they had Susan kissing some random younger guy. I mean, I've never been a huge Mike fan but this season it was so nice to see them happy and together, it just worked. I can't help but think the only reason they broke em up was so Susan could actually be interesting next season, grrrr...

Battlestar Galactica, this season has definetely been interesting. I've found it very hard to get into, though the last few eps have been a big improvement. Friday's ep really annoyed me though. I simply do not buy into Lee being the President, I just don't. I never even bought into him being a politician, let alone President. I was so hoping that dude with the glasses and the dead cat would just put an end to his miserable, annoying existence...Besides that, I like what they're doing with the show at the moment. Tigh's relationship with the imprisoned six is definetely interesting, with his dead wife showin up every now and then and I was shocked to hear she was pregnant, damn. And I love the whole civil war thing the cylons have got going on, very cool. Next weeks ep looks interesting, and the ads better be misleading, cause I really don't see Rosling being the final cylon.

Anyway, onto Buffy season eight. I'm in love with this series, it's like a dream come true and it just keeps getting better and better. The Wolves at the Gate arc has been great. I did have the infamous Buffy/Satsu in bed thing spoiled to me by the internets, but the actual scene is now one of my favorites of the series, everyone walking in on the two was hillarious and immediately ended any annoying storylines involving Buffy keeping a secret from her friends like she did back in season six. The scene was hillarious, Andrew's lines were probably the best -"Hi Buffy, Hi nude asian girl. How much Dramamine did I take?" Seriously loved it. The rest of the arc has of course been great as well. Love Xander and Renee's relationship development, and have to say I did not see the end of issue 14 coming AT ALL. Joss is definetely evil, that's all there is to it. Love Giant Dawn, as always, how can you not love her when she says things like "Hi, or I mean...ROAR!" Though I gotta say I don't like the way Georges Jeanty draws her, she look 14...Oh and I love Drac being back, though I do kinda wish they'd bringing back old character and start bringing in some great shiny new ones.

Also on the Whedon front, I'm so friggin excited about Dollhouse. It will obviously be the greatest thing to ever grace our television screens. And with that I leave you, see ya in December or whenever I come back to this site again and at the same time decide to write a blog...

Damn, I'v been away from this site for awhile now, the last blog I wrote was...damn...two months ago! I felt like writing a blog, but I can't think of anyhting to write about so I'm just gonna review the last few movies I've seen.

And I'll start with the biggie, The Simpsons Movie, damn seeing this movie was just so surreal. Just sitting in the theater seeing these characters on the big screen was just something I felt I'd never see. The movie actually had a similar feeling to Star Wars episode III for me in that way, finally seeing it, just seeing it in the theater was just unreal. Like I couldn't believe I was actually there. I hope that makes sense. As far as what I actually thought of the movie. Well the answer to that is that I simply loved it. It was just hillarious, I honestly don't remember the last time I laughed this much at a movie. And like some of the best episodes of the show, it had an unmistakable emotional core, I just LOVED the movie. Of course it wasn't quite up there with the best of the best eps of the show, but it was still fantastic. I would really love to see another big screen Simpsons adventure in the future, like Maggie's, well, second word if you remember her first word in season 4's "Lisa's First Word", suggested.

Another recent blockbuster I saw was Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. And to be honest, I thought it was just ok. I don't know, something was missing, I can't explain what, but just something, like the magic that had made the first four films great had somehow run dry. Or maybe it was just the book it was adapted from, I don't know, I just know I left the theater a bit dissapointed. I mean, yet again, the movie ended with an anticlimatic battle with Voldemort. The movie left me with a big meh, I hope the Half Blood Prince is more satisfying.

Another movie I saw was Captivity. I enjoyed it overall, it sort of felt like today's version of the endless slasher flicks from the 80's. Sort of a result of the whole torture genre of horror films made popular with movies like Saw and Hostel, it was still decent, despite the fact that there was no originality to it at all. Oh and there's a horrible scene where the girl being held captive is forced to shoot her own dog tosurvive, I hate stuff like that, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the flick, poor dog.

Another recent horror flick I've seen was I Know Who Killed Me, a decent movie that could have been so much better with a better cast and director. Don't really have anything else to say about it.

I've seen some older movies recently as well, like the notorious Cannibal Holocaust, definetely lives up to its reputation.I of course watched the "animal cruelty free" version as I don't see real death as entertainment and think anyone who does has to be a sick freak. The movie was definetely interesting, I was surprised by the fact that they actually made the Americans look more evil than the natives who only killed these people after they burned them alive and raped them, basically treated them like trash to try to make a good documentary. Overall I liked it

A movie I really enjoyed was Return Of The Living Dead, a highly entertaining and over the top zombie flick. I loved the fact that the zombies could only be killed by burning them to ashes, because despite the fact that this movie was overall light hearted, the thought of the zombies was freaky as hell and I'd love to see these type of creatures in a more serious, cause they are truly threatening.

A movie I just watched last night was Creepshow, a fun flick. It had an interesting stylistic approach, obviously to look like the comics, that I enjoyed. Overall a great litle horror movie that tells five great stories.

And finally amovie I didn't enjoy. That movie was Phantasm. Ugh, why people enjoy this movie is beyond me. I blindly bought this movie based on its reputation and the fact that its not available on Netflix for some reason. And boy do I regret it. This movie was boring and dull with acting and dialogue cheesier thanyou can imagine. And I usually actually like cheesy horror flicks. The fact that I loved Dead Alive is a testament to that. I just didn't enjoy this movie at all, I should of listened to my dad who said I shouldn't get the flick because "it sucks". The reason people regard this movie as a c l a s s i c must be nostalgia at work and nothing more, because it really did suck. Oddly enough though I still kinda wanna see the sequel...

Wow, I haven't wrote a blog in a LONG time, hell, I haven't been on this site in general. I think the last time I really came here was when all the finales were airing 2 or 3 weeks ago. Wasn't that Lost finale just awesome? Anyway, I just finished watching Angel season 1 for the first time ina long while so I thought I'd do an overview of the season and mini-reviews of each ep.

City Of... 9/10 - I thought this was a great series premiere. I loved the opening scene with Angel saving the girls in the alley but not being able to get close to them cause of his vampire side. I also loved the fact that he doesn't get to save the first girl he saves. The episode does a great job of laying down the groundwork for the series. Things like the visions, and the general idea of what Wolfram & Hart does were all introduced here brilliantly.

Lonely Hearts 8.25/10 - This was a decent second ep. I enjoyed the introduction of Kate, a character I really enjoy, especially before she found out what Angel was. 

In The Dark 9/10 - This was a great little Buffy crossover ep. Loved the way they continued the Gem of Amara story from Buffy. Though to this day I still don't quite get Angel's logic in destroying the gem, but whatever.

I Fall To Pieces 7.5/10 - I like the idea behind this ep, a surgeon who somehow learned how to detach parts of himself, though one thing never made sense to me. If his eyes were just hanging there in the middle of the room watching the girl, how did she not ever notice them?

Rm W/A View 9/10 -This is a great ep, loved Cordy and Doyle shopping around for apartments and loved the little ghost story. I also loved Cordy just standing up for herself in the end, telling the mom to "Get the hell outta my house!", very fun ep.

Sense and Sensitivity 7.5/10 - This was a hillarious ep, loved Kate's little outburst at her father's retirement party and well, Kate in general was just hillarious in this.

The Bachelor Party 8.75/10 - This was a great ep, I loved learning more about Doyle's past and teh fact that her fiance and his family were going to eat his brain because it's "tradition". Very fun ep.

I Will Remember You 9.25/10 - This is the essential Buffy/Angel ep. Very romantic and believable throughout and the end is just heartbreaking, loved it.

Hero 9/10 - A great sendoff for Doyle, I loved that in the end he was willing to sacrifice his life to save others. The end of this is just chilling with Angel and Cordy watching his video and he says, "Is that it, am I done?", and then it fades to black, great ep.

Parting Gifts 8/10  - I loved Cordy's audition scene, VERY funny and loved Wesley's introduction into the series.

Somnambulist 7.5/10 - This is a decent ep, I like the idea of Angel in a way affecting another vamp so much that he actually adopts his old ways.

Expecting 8/10 - I enjoyed this ep, the demon at the end definetely looked a bit cheesy, but Cordy being pregnant and gulping down a whole thing of blood is just priceless.

She 7.75/10 - I used to hate this episode with a passion, but watching it again, I actually kind of liked it.

I've Got You Under My Skin 8.25/10 -This is an interesting ep, most of it is a very self aware Exorcist ripoff, but the twist at the end saves it when we find out the kid is actually the evil one.

The Prodigal 8/10 -  Another decent ep, I enjoyed the Angel flashbacks and seeing how he became a vamp and killed his entire. I also loved Darla's speech at the end about how even though his father is dead, he will still always have power over him.

The Ring 8.5/10 - This was a great ep, loved the idea of a gladiator kind of thing going on in modern times with vamps and demons and loved the introduction of the always awesome Lilah.

Eternity 8/10 - Loved the whole theme of this ep, people in Hollywood's obsession with looking young and loved seeing Angelus for the first time in the series.

Five By Five 9.5/10 - One of the best eps of the season and one of the best Faith eps ever. I loved the fact that this was her at her absolute craziest, it was actually surreal in ways seeing her so out of control, and her breakdown at the end is very believable and true. Great episode for her character.

Sanctuary 7.75/10 - This definetely wasn't as good as the previous ep, but I still liked it. Definetely enjoyed seeing Buffy and Faith turning herself in at the end.

War Zone 8.25/10 - Enjoyed thsi if not only for the introduction of Gunn. Liked that he had to overcome his own beliefs and learn to trust Angel in the end.

Blind Date 9/10 - A great ep and the first that I can remember where we really get to see how Wolfram & Hart works. Something I definetely enjoyed, especially the whole mind reading scene, very cool. Plus, the idea of a blind assassin is just awesome.

To Shanshu In L.A. 9.5/10 - A great finale to the season. Loved the demon of the story. It was vrery chilling to see Cordy and so much pain and I loved the fact that they blew up the entire season 1 set.  Angel chopping off Lindsey's hand was very cool and I loved the cliffhanger ending where we find out Darla was the thing they were rising.

Overall this is a great season. While it lacks an overall focus like the later seasons do, it makes up for it in ways with great standalone eps, and characters who not only have tremendous chemistry with each other but also really develop throughout the season. Cordy starts the series out being really self centered in ways, dreaming of beong a star, but by the end of the season she sees the bigger picture and really learns that she just wants to help people. We also saw the first shades of a much darker Wesley this season as we saw more of his serious side and how he is willing to help people. This season also did a great job just setting the stage for the rest of the series, with Wolfram and Hart, the powers that be, the Shanshu prophecy, and hell, even Wesley's daddy issues were brought up very subtley here. There weren't quite as many flat out awesome eps here as other seasons and it is definetely not the best season, but overall it's a great, solid season that I give a 8.5/10.

Well as many of you may know today is the 10th anniversary of my absolute favorite show ever, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so I'd just like to say Happy "Buffyversary" and I hope any Buffy fans reading this have a great time watching some Buffy classics today like I'll be doing. And just to make this blog look nicer, here is a very random Buffy thing I made on photoshop the other day.

Well I just saw The Truth last night. I have to say, I'm actually really dissapointed with the final episode. I didn't feel like I learned the truth, the only thing that was revealed in the episode was that the aliens endgame or whatever is gonna be in 2012. Ok...but besides that, nothing. Mulder got framed basically for "killing" one of the supersoldiers, they broke him out, cigarette smoking man died, and Mulder and Scully talked about what they believe in a motel room...and that's the end. It all just felt very anticlimatic to me...just meh.

The season itself was great though, usual X-Files quality greatness. I was actually surprised by how creative and fresh the show still managed to feel in its 9th season, well, here's my top 5 of the season...

4-D - I just loved this episode, the idea of an alternate reality is something is always great. I love the way it was done here too, it was really just sad to think that in one reality they were both just killed so quickly like they were.

Trust No 1- Great Scully centered episode. I just loved it, can't really think of anything else to say.

Provenance/Providence - Another great Scully centered episode. There is one thing about the episode that confused me though, how the hell could Scully trust the Lone Gunmen to protect her baby...seriously.

Improbable - Possibly my favorite of the season, this was just a strange and fun episode. The whole numbers thing was just interesting and I loved Burt Reynolds character, whoever the hell he was. Just a strange, strange episode, I loved it.

William - Wow sad episode, actually almost made me shed a tear. I can't believe Scully actually opted to give up her baby for adoption.

Well I've seen every X-Files episode now, I really hope they get that second movie up and running, cause the crappy ending just makes me want more X-Files...
