LOST season 5 ep. 1 & 2

So....It looks like everyone and their mom has reviewed lastnights episode of Lost.

It was a good episode. Lost has always been the kind of show that u have to watch every episode or you will be completely "lost". The upcoming time travel in the show will probably be cool but has the potential to confuse Lost watchers that are not die hard fans.

The best part of the show lastnight was Hurley's recap of the entire Lost story!!! It sounded absolutely insane....but not!

I am looking forward to this season and preparing myself for it to just get more weird and confusing...but, that is part of the appeal of Lost!!!

Okay, so I know, I suck

I didn't even manage to keep up the new years blogging resolution for a full week. That has to be some sort of record.

I have not seen any new movies lately. Usually the first part of the year sucks for movies anyway. The good ones don't seem to show up in the theater until around May.

I am hoping to review/recap on each episode of Lost. But since there are like serious Lost freaks out there my reviews will be short and sweet.

Also, there are some new shows getting ready to air for the midseason line-up. Dollhouse, etc...hopefully there will be something new that doesn't suck!

Music Review: The Twilight Soundtrack

I have seen the Twilight movie twice. It is pretty good (the books are fantastic).

In the movie the music wasn't really that noticable the first time I saw it but it stood out much more the second time around.

I love soundtracks. I would say that of my CD collection (which is at least 500 CDs) that I would guess that at least 1/4 of them are soundtracks. The Twilight soundtrack has moved to my TOP 5 favorites! It is a rare treat to find a CD where I can listen to the whole thing without skipping past songs that suck. Though all of the songs are very good. My favorites are:

~Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THl0RYpLTYI

~Decode by Paramore - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl_kMFR0OTU

~Supermassive Black Hole by Muse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsp3_a-PMTw

~Never Think by Robert Patterson (Edward Cullen) is also very good

Even if you have not seen the movie or thought it wasn't good, I would still strongly recommend this CD!!!

Ode to my iPhone

With my iPhone
I can call all my friends
I can talk talk talk
Until the day ends

With my iPhone
I can surf on the net
I can check my facebook
And post pictures of wolfram, my pet

My iPhone tells me the weather
and let's me play games
Downloading stuff for free
Definately isn't lame

It stores all my music
And phone numbers too
I can watch the stocks drop
while crying, boo-hoo.

So many cool apps
Like a virtual dog
My iPhone's so awesome
It deserves a poem on my blog!

Movie Review: The Day The Earth Stood Still

The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the 1950s movie of the same name starring Jennifer Connelly and Keanu Reeves was a decent flick but nothing special.

Special Effects: the effects were cool, however I think they could have had more of a punch.

The Plot: the plot of the movie was somewhat different from that of the original. The main theme was one that seems to be very popular amongst movies right now (humans are destroying the planet) which is seen in other movies like Wall-e and The Happening. I would say that of these 3 movies I would rank this one as 2nd place (wall-e 1st and the happening 3rd)

The Acting: the role of the alien Klatuu was perfect for Keanu Reeves, as he is not the most well rounded actor but does a good job playing stiff alien or robotic roles with minimal emotions. Jennifer Connelly made up for Keanu's lack of emotion. The kid, played by Will Smith's son was VERY annoying and the part could have probably been removed without anyone noticing. He was nothing more then an unnecessary annoyance.

The worst part of the movie was the ending. It seemed rushed.

I would recommend watching this movie on a rainy day when it is free on cable.

Mangy Squirrel Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5 acorns.

My Bloody Valentine 3D - coming soon

I saw a movie trailer tonight for the new 3D horror movie My Bloody Valentine 3D. Even though I don't do "slasher" horror movies I must admit I am intrigued. The fact that it is 3D, I would imagine would make it ultra terrifying! I wonder if this 3D thing is a new film trend that is going to become popular with more and more mainstream movies. Usually when you think 3D you think nature documentary but it looks like that is no longer the case.

This movie is starring Jensen Eckles of Supernatural (YUM) and a bunch a cry-baby skinny girls.

Another thing I liked about the trailer was the tagline:

"Nothing says date movie like a 3D ride to Hell!"

I know I would be terrified and would probably close my eyes and plug my ears for most of it (thus wasting like $15) but I kinda want to see it.

It comes out at the end of January.
