Disclaimer – I have a 13 year old stepdaughter who was DYING to see this, or probably would not have gone in the first place.

Breakfast- light and easy.  Not a lot going on.  Could easily skip it.  If you decide to eat it, you are going to need more to satisfy you later.*

*I was really tempted to rate this as roadkill, but my stepdaughter LOVED it, so if you have a teenager, you might want to give it a whirl.  Hannah definitely bumped up my rating.

Cast:  Kirsten Bell, Josh Duhamel, the Guggenheim Museum (referred to as “the Goog” in the movie) and a motley assortment of famous actors doing bit parts – none very well.

Genre:  Romantic Comedy

Workaholic, independently wealthy, late twenty-something Manhattanite is upstaged by younger flight attendant sister who meets the man of her dreams in first class, and weds him 2 weeks later in Rome, so the cast could have a nice vacation in Rome while working, I mean because the man was from Rome.  Kirsten Bell’s character (I can’t even remember her character’s name – that’s how memorable the part was) flies to Rome at the drop of a hat for a LAVISH Italian wedding in a beautiful cathedral (like that could be thrown together in a few days – and this is only 15 minutes into the story) that conveniently has a fountain of love just outside the church doors.  The fountain might be outside the doors of the reception hall.  To be honest, in one scene, it looked like they were walking out of the church to the fountain, in another scene, it looked like they were walking out of the reception hall – go figure.  But I digress.  Josh Duhamel is also from New York (how convenient), went to college with the Italian stallion groom, and so has now ALSO flown to Rome at the last minute to be the Best Man.  Wow – already, a total fantasy world, but it gets better.

Kirsten messes up her toast, has too much to drink, decides love will never find her, and curses the goddess of the fountain, and decides to “save’ five fools who have thrown coins in the fountain by taking their coins.  Only, what she doesn’t realize…wait for it….drum roll….I’m sure you will be shocked…..it’s a magic fountain!…and these 5 fools fall madly in love with her, and chase her around the streets of New York.  Yes, that is not a typo – they were in Italy one minute, and then magically, all four/five (you’ll have to watch the movie to find out – don’t want to spoil it for ya) are back in NY with Kristen. 

Will she find true love with Josh or does he just love her because she has his poker chip that was in the fountain?  Will they end up happily ever after?  Will she ever shake off the creepy four/five some who are chasing her around?  Will she save the Guggenheim’s upcoming exhibit?  Will she smile cutely, and look beautiful in stunning dresses for most of the film?  Will she try to appeal to plain Janes to not hate her because she’s beautiful by being a clutz and doing physical gags for a few weak laughs throughout the movie? 

Sigh – like I said, my thirteen year old LOVED it.  Go figure.  I wish I had rented it, instead of being out the full price of admission (went on a Saturday night).  I didn’t find anything remotely redeemable.

I love TV. I love a lot of things, but TV is pretty high up on my love list. So it’s no surprise that I have been so influenced by certain characters. Do I take it too far? Perhaps. But everybody needs role models, and mine may be fictional but at least they don’t include Paris Hilton.

On a final note, if I were animated, I would want to be Dr.Girlfriend from The Venture Bros. She really is in charge.

There is something terribly wrong with the third season of Heroes. Either that or I am losing my mind. Okay, maybe that part was not very convincing, but really, I get lost at almost every episode. I presume this season is as gripping and as adrenaline inducing (pun intended) as the first two seasons since it already made me forget that I go to work at 9Am and I had to wake up at 7Am, but I forget the episodes easily. And this is weird because I have unusually sharp memory. That was because of the eclipse we had last I-don’t-remember-when and I felt like I was not human anymore, not that I ever thought that I was. I really am a monster, and I eat brains for breakfast. And now I assume you are lost of my random babble. Okay, my real problem is, I don’t remember who Linderman is. Or what power Angela Petrelli has, and how Alejandro (or was his name Alejandro? The brother of Maya) died. I wanted to stop watching but I didn’t want to so I came up with five reasons why I should keep on watching Heroes. Okay, I was lying. I never planned to stop watching Heroes, I just wanted to come up with a list because I love lists. I am that kind of geek. So, ladies and gentlemen, here is a list of the people, or characters, that keep me glued to my TV and will probably keep me glued for the next few years even if I probably would never understand the story anymore because I would soon forget about them. Oh, and spoiler alert-ish. I think most of you who watch Heroes already finished the third season but whatever.

Peter Petrelli

5. Peter Petrelli. Okay, he might be your usual eyecandy and he had a few shirtless episodes that keep women and some gay men watching, but his power is very interesting. He is freaking powerful and he probably is the most powerful of them all since unlike Sylar, he need not kill someone to take their abilities. Very cool. The season also showed his villain-y side or something and there were episodes when the viewers, I presume, were supposed to think that he was the real bad guy. Which suits him, in a way.

Hiro Nakamura

4. Hiro Nakamura. You have a heart of steel, or a sense of humor of a troll if you didn’t laugh when Tracy called her Pikachu. It was hilarious. I like Hiro mainly because he’s a geek. And I have always been a sucker for geeks, so yeah. I guess he was just overstereotyped, if that word really exists. His New York city scene where he shouted ‘I did it’ didn’t hurt either. He is one of the easy-to-fall-in-love-with characters in Heroes, the loser kid who is depreciated by his father which makes him seek his approval but he is so geeky that he just plays his PSP most of the time or read mangas that make his look childish. I am in a lot of ways like him. Except for the father part. Oh, and he is also the master of Space and Time.

Elle

3. Elle. Yes. That blonde girl raised to be an agent who has some 5000 volts inside her body. She is very mysterious and very likeable, despite the fact that she is a villain. She also seems to have a very special connection with Sylar, which was only shown in this season, or not, I don’t remember really. I wonder why I never saw her in any other TV shows or movies. Kirsten Bell. She is very pretty and she seems like she could be on par with Hilary Duff or Mandy Moore, except she looks sneakier, bitchier, and evil-er. Her pair up with Sylar is beyond me, they’re too sexy together you can’t help but wish they’d break up. Or that one of them dies *cough Elle cough*

Sylar

2. Sylar. or Zachary Quinto, that very hot yet very cuddly (really, now) villain of Heroes who likes eating brains and is ironically named Gabriel after an angel. Although I am not really sure if that angel was a good angel because I never really payed attention to my Christian Living classes when I was still in highschool. I used to think that he was creepy. Anthony Hopkins kind of creepy, just his voice makes all the hair in my body alert for danger. But well, he is one of the (if not the) most beautiful actors in the series. Him being there is reason enough to watch the ever so forgetful TV series called Heroes. Oh, and he paired up with Elle, for a while at least. That could not get any better.

Claire Bennett

1. Claire Bennett. Played by one of the most promising stars of today, Hayden Panettiere. Okay, so I really have no basis for saying that, it’s just that I have a huge crush on her and I have had that crush ever since her Bring it on: All or Nothing times. I am a sucker with cheerleaders as much as I am for geeks. Which, now that I think about it, is a little weird. I am both attracted to popular and not so popular kids who struggle through highschool mostly. Anyways, the stunning Claire Bennett is invincible and has been one of the most important characters in the series since the first season. Save the cheerleader, save the world. Even Sylar said that she was different. And special. I could so marry Sylar– except he might eat my brain and steal my X-Ray vision ability. Okay, that’s a little creepy. Scratch that. Like Elle and Sylar, she has Daddy issues too. Poor Claire Bennet is always being left behind by his adoptive parent, Noah. Oh Claire. I could babysit you for a day or two. While we’re at it, teach me how to do numerous cartwheels that make other people’s jaws drop.

You probably finished watching the third season of Heroes alreeady. Or have stopped watching Heroes like most people for reasons that are so obvious. I just made this list because  Ilove making lists. I always have, even when I was still a child. I used to tally how many times some product advertisements appear on TV then tell my Yaya back then what the top commercials were, based on the number of times they were shown on TV. I am such a weird bastard.

Kirsten Bell som Veronica Mars

SVT har i någon konstig blandning av generositet och missriktad effektivitets-tänk beslutat sig för att köra sex-sju avsnitt av TV-serien Veronica Mars på förmiddagarna, flera dagar i rad.  Inte nog med att det är i stort sett unikt för SVT (och mer likt Kanal 5, välsigne dem). Inte nog med att det gör det extremt svårt för gemene man att börja titta på serien – jag menar, vem, förutom de arbetslösa, pensionärerna och möjligen de sjukskrivna (se tidigare inlägg) är hemma i flera timmar utan något att göra? Så litet har inte studenter att göra och det är inga lov nu. Alla har inte heller möjligheten att spela in så många timmar i rad. Nej, inte nog med det. De har gjort det här utan några större åthävor: inte särskilt mycket reklam i förväg. De vill med andra ord inte att man ska kunna upptäcka den här serien. Och jag har redan haft svårt att hitta den, när jag väl hade upptäckt den, att faktiskt lyckas pricka in tiden där på vardagseftermiddagar. Vafalls? Har de ingen känsla för feeling. Det här är en kvällsserie. Inte prime time, kanske, men väl en serie som kan gå kl 19 på onsdagkvällar. Framför allt med tanke på att serien innehåller en hel del saker som barn kanske inte brukar titta på, men ungdomar är mycket intresserade av, så vore det en bättre deal.

Någon har helt enkelt inte gillat Veronica Mars och velat ta ut soporna.

Fra le nuove tendenze c’è il fucsia. Total look o solo in pillole, non deve mancare nelle mise casual a cui si vuole dare un tocco di eccentricità. Segue il trend anche Kristen Bell, l’attrice conosciuta con “Veronica Mars”, poi diventata una dei cattivi di “Heroes” e scelta come voce fuori campo di “Gossip Girl”. La giovane, attrice in occasione degli Scream Awards a Los Angeles, ha sfoggiato un look decisamente anni ‘80.

Mini dress striato luccicante, clutch bag fucsia e rossetto in tinta. Voi che ne dite? accoglierete il trend o lo lascerete alle più trasgressive?

Salt, Sugar. Beer, Whisky. Black, Blue. Red Wine, White Shirts. Speed Limits, Taxi Drivers. Chocolate, Baked Beans. Gary Glitter, Primary Schools. Somethings just don’t go together!! One that I missed off as you might have guessed is Comedy and Romance. Now I know hundreds of you out there will be screaming right now “Mr Happy you don’t know what your chatting about!!.” However, I can honestly say I have seen many good Romance films and hundreds of brilliant Comedy films but I really feel that I have never seen a great Romantic Comedy. 

Yesterday I watched “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” staring  Jason Segel, Kirsten Bell and Russell Brand and it left me thinking: If they were to concentrate on one aspect, Comedy or Romance, then the film would be much better because in parts it is funny and in part it is sweet but adding them both together only detracts from making either one great. 

I am sure many people yearly go and see these so called Rom-Com’s but I put it to them: Watch “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” or “10 Things I Hate About You” or Even “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days” and then watch a compilation of films like: “Titanic”, “Anchorman”, “Ghost” and “Meet The Parents” and tell me what was more rewarding. 

This leads us to think about society theses days. We live in a society that wants everything in one: Mobile phones that include call, text, e-mail, sat nat, mp3; TV’s that have dvd players, satellite tuners and VHS player built in; Printers that are also scanners, copiers and fax machines. Yes it might be  simpler and more convenient but personally I would rather carry several top quality things around than one that includes several mediocre gadgets (says the man that owns an iPhone!!) Anyway back to film…..

Comedy is something which I feel very strongly about and bad comedy hurts me!! Somethings should never be mixed and comedy and anything else is one of them- Don’t get me started on Wes Cravens Vampire In Brooklyn (Comedy and Horror Moron!). This won’t make any difference to film directors anywhere but “Hey Ho Lets Go”

“This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget Bridget”

Oh I just got two in! Booya!!

Peace Out

Mr Happy xxxx

Another Japanese thriller/horror remake uses empty space to amp up the tension. 

Quite a soft thriller with noises, shadows and computer imagery used to scare the audience.  With only a few slightly gross scenes, zombies and ashes to illustrate the story, this is not a film who’ll have nightmares from.

Both Dexter and Mattie keep the pace of the story up with frantic running, shame most of Dexter’s back story is in the deleted scenes section.

Yawnable- try and keep awake.

2/5

Săptămâna asta am fost la film. Mi-a fost cam greu să mă concentrez pentru că aveam şi eu emoţii pentru ce ştiam foarte bine că va urma. Cred că numai Mona s-a bucurat cu adevărat de film pentru că era singura care credea că chiar am fost la film ca să ne uităm la film. Trecând peste asta, am reuşit să fiu totuşi atentă şi să mă bucur de el. Mi-a plăcut pentru că este amuzant şi romantic, are personaje şi decoruri frumoase, Sarah Marshall este interpretată de o actriţă care îmi place mie (am urmărit-o în Veronica Mars şi am ascultat-o în Gossip Girl), are final fericit (cel puţin pentru unele personaje).

It seems as though Hollywood has been going crazy over what could possibly be a trend. I don’t know if I can call it that though, because the style itself is not something I would try or recommend. I’m talking about tucking your jeans into your sandals/heels:

Tucking your jeans in your boots is fine, but if you are wearing strappy sandals or gladiator heels I definitely say no. Kimtries out every trend so when I saw this on her I thought “ok, this must be ‘it’”. But I don’t recommend you do it.

Will you ladies be trying this trend(?) out?

Sources confirmed that Veronica Mars (Kirsten Bell) is coming back on Heroes season 3 as Elle Bishop, they say she’s gonna stay on the show for at least 5 episodes, let’s make her a regular damn!

“Nie wieder Sex mit der Ex” ist eine amerikanische Komödie und lief am 12.06.08 in den deutschen Kinos an. Der Trailer und weitere Informationen sind bei IMDb erhältlich.

Die Boulevard Presse handelt den Krimiserien-Star Sarah Marshall (Kirsten Bell) und den TV Komponisten Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) als das Traumpaar Hollywoods. Doch plötzlich verlässt Sarah Peter und beendet damit die fünfeinhalbjährige Beziehung. Dies Stürzt Peter in tiefe Depressionen. Um die Trennung zu verarbeiten sucht Peter Abstand in einem Luxus-Hotel auf Hawaii. Aber Sarah macht gerade zufällig im selben Hotel urlaub mit ihrem neuen Freund den Sänger Aldous Snow (Russel Brand). Deshalb sind die Tage auf der Pazifikinsel für Peter die reinste Qual, aber nur solange bis er der Rezeptionistin Rachel (Mila Kunis) über dem Weg läuft.

Schenkelklopferhumor ist bei “Nie wieder Sex mit der Ex” nicht vorhanden, denn die Gags sind deutlich langsamer und explodieren nicht ständig. Der Film hat vieles von einer Realsatire, also kurz gesagt ist der Film sehr britisch. Dieser Film ist eine hoffungsvolle Jammerlappen- Verspottung und denoch lädt die Kulisse von Hawaii zum Träumen ein. Diese Komödie ist nicht nur für die Herren der Schöpfung,sondern auch die Damen werden viel Spaß in diesem Film haben. Deswegen vergebe ich 8 von 10 Punkten.
