The ladies had their turn again this week, reminding all of America why they are collectively better than the guys. Similar to Tuesday night, Wednesday’s performances are dedicated to a special someone in the contestants’ lives. Ho hum.
This time, I’m giving letter grades to the ladies. I should have done the same thing for the […]

The remaining ten guys have redeemed themselves from last week, much to my and the judges’ delight. It seems that they’ve learned a thing or two from the ladies’ performances. According to Ryan Seacrest, the theme this week are songs that are dedicated to people who inspire them. I’m willing to bet that Simon has […]

Since I was out of town this weekend, I did not get to catch the Oscars on TV, so unfortunately I can’t comment about anything that happened on the show. However, I am posting a list of the winners. Needless to say, there weren’t a lot of surprises. However, I’m absolutely stunned that Eddie Murphy […]

All American Idol contestants fear the Results show. Butterflies fill stomachs, teeth are clenched, and tears are shed as people are voted off the competition forever. Like every Results episode, the whole hour was inflated with mind-numbing filler composed of recaps, banter, a special guest performance, and of course, the dreaded group song. I’m sorry, […]

Title: Flightplan
Year: 2005
Director: Robert Schwentke
Starring: Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Sean Bean
Rated: PG-13
NoFace for Film rating: 4 out of 7
Flightplan is one of those films that at first glance seems to have the perfect ingredients: a stellar cast, terrific directing and cinematography, and a great set. Sadly, the plot fell short in the believability department.

The ladies have their turn in the spotlight tonight as they take the stage on American Idol. As predicted by some people, they overall did better than the guys last night. Perhaps they learned something from the guys’ performance and the judges’ remarks, or perhaps they’re just better. Regardless, some of the ladies were downright […]

Tonight the Top 12 guys took the stage on American Idol, and boy was it obvious that they were nervous. There were a few good performances, but most were either boring or all out crappy. Tonight also saw the return of Simon and Ryan’s bickering. Jeez, and so early in the competition. We’re not even […]
