Cows On the Couch

You don’t need to be a kid to watch TinkerBell, afterall, these are all Disney Classic.  And as usual.. any good kid’s movie we will definitely get.. even though it is darn ex.   My kid already watched it a few times.. and just loved it.

In 2008, Walt Disney Home Video released a direct to DVD feature, TINKER BELL. This film, following Peter Pan’s sidekick, defied the odds as being a direct to DVD sequel that audiences embraced enough that it took some of the stigma from the direct to DVD label.

Now, Disney is releasing TINKER BELL AND THE LOST TREASURE. This is another direct to DVD sequel, with most of the same vocal talents.

It is Autumn in Pixie Hollow. Tinker Bell is in charge of building a scepter for the moonstone. When the blue harvest moon rises, the moonstone reflects the moon’s rays to restore the Pixie Dust Tree for the next year.

Unfortunately, Tink accidentally breaks the moonstone, the only one in existence. She has to head out to try and make things right again in Pixie Hollow.

While geared to younger audiences, I was quite shocked by how much I enjoyed this film. In fact, I think it is even better than last year’s TINKER BELL. A sequel to a direct to DVD film being superior to the original? It is.

Executive produced by Pixar’s John Lasseter, this is a great looking film. The computer animation, while not quite at Pixar level, is beautiful, especially the scenes involving Pixie dust.

On Blu-Ray, this could become something of a reference quality disc for under 10 years olds to demonstrate their Blu-Ray player to friends.

The voice cast includes Mae Whitman as Tink, Jesse McCartney, Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu, Kristin Chenoweth and Anjelica Huston. They are all fun, and there is a nice score by Joel McNelly.

It’s hilarious..  touching.. sad.. and darn funny..!!  and Sandra Bullock did not disappoint.. unlike Jennifer Aniston.  I think i should give up on Jenny..!  anyhow.. this is a darn good movie. .and can be watched by children of all ages.  I liked it a lot and really recommend it

For three years, Andrew Paxton has slaved as the assistant to Margaret Tate, hard-driving editor at a New York publisher. When Margaret, a Canadian, faces deportation for an expired visa, she hatches a scheme to marry Andrew – he agrees if she’ll promise a promotion. A skeptical INS agent vows to test the couple about each other the next Monday. Andrew had plans to fly home that weekend for his grandma’s 90th, so Margaret goes with him – to Sitka, Alaska – where mom, dad, and grams await. Family dynamics take over: tensions between dad and Andrew, an ex-girlfriend, Andrew’s dislike of Margaret, and her past color the next few days, with the INS ready to charge Andrew with fraud.

Truth be told.. i thought this was gonna be a silly show.  Well, it was some how.. but not too bad to watch.. when you have nothing to watch.  Plus it is Will Ferrell.. so it had to be somewhat funny right..?  So it is more a comedy than a science fiction show.

On his latest expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his research assistant and a redneck survivalist. In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka, their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures.

So Nip Tuck Season 6 started like a  last week.   I watched it today .. and as usual loved the show.   For those who love the sex.. and the gossips.. and beautiful ppl.. go watch the tv show – 6 season in running.  Gotta be doing something right eh.

Nip Tuck is it. One of the reasons I love it is because every episode shows all the screwed up things that we are capable of in society. Yet, the friendship between Sean and Christian makes this show powerful. In most of the other shows on TV (trout liver) the unstoppable force in their themes is bull shet or obnoxiously condescending. Whether it be on a news channel or comedy or disillusioned reality tv it’s all alike. But in Nip Tuck the driving beam of the theme is a friendship that stands above all the freaky things that happen to two plastic surgeons. Sean knows that Christian is the father of his oldest kid and then dated the mother for awhile when Sean and her divorced. (Julia is completely my least favorite character of the show lol). And this was only just a couple episodes! Yet, even when Sean gave up on Miami and chose to practice w/o Christian in LA, the same episode had Christian right beside him again. On the end of the first season that I started watching the show (end of 2006 I think)Sean and Christian was posing by the Hollywood sign.
I’ve really only seen a few examples in my life where family or friends last strong and survive some big hits. And that kind of perpetual loyalty and forgiveness lasting for many seasons is as rare a thing on TV as it is in life. And though there is just an endless series of crap between Christian, Sean, their son Matt and gay nurse/Christin’s new wife, Liz they always end up showing compassion on each other, regardless of the scandal. Although I am happy that Julia (Sean’s gay x wife) is becoming less of an extra I wonder what happened to their two youngest, insecure Annie or lobster hand Conner?
I always felt this was the one flaw of the show. Of all the conflict and resolution throughout the seasons, the conflict of how little real attention Sean & Julia (she was wearing a bending corset in 2000’s Patriot) show their two youngest. This is probably just overlooked by the writers. Invisible youth. In one a dream episode where Sean dreams of the whole cast in the future, Conner’s first adult self seen is him talking to a shrink. Annie’s older but less mature character was recovering from an abortion and got busted for attempting to rip off some pain meds at the hospital where her brother was in surgery.I mean, the conflict there is obvious, right? I would say that this would be a more meaningful resolution than a lot of the other scenarios they tackle.

Watched this the other day.. and it was quite a good show.. but the ending.. well i didn’t quite like it.  Afterall, the poor gal worked so hard to break the spell.. and hell.. !! it wasn’t her fault.. that she can’t grant the extension to the old gypsy woman.  If every loan officer had a customer like that.. die lah..!!

Christine Brown is responsible for loans in a bank and expects to be promoted to the open position of assistant manager after dealing a big contract. However, the new hire Stu Rubin is a collusive coworker that scheming against Christine to be selected by the manager Mr. Jacks to the position.

Christine denies the loan to prove her boss that she can take tough decisions. Mrs. Ganush begs for the loan but Christine shames the woman calling the security. In the night, Christine is stalked by Mrs. Ganush in the parking lot and they struggle. Out of the blue, Mrs, Ganush removes a button from Christine’s coat, curses it, returns the button to her and vanishes. Later, while going home with her psychologist boy-friend Clay Dalton, they pass by the fortune teller Rham Jas, and Christine decides to consult him. He advises her that Christine has the fiend Lamia, the Black Goat, upon her. When Christine is haunted by the dark spirit during the night, at home, she tries to fix the situation releasing the loan of Mrs. Ganush.

Season six of Grey’s Anatomy on ABC starts out with one of the main characters, George, being laid to rest. Not exactly a happy beginning after the unhappy ending of season 5. Viewers waited anxiously all summer to see what would happen to Izzie, who has cancer. All this death and dying among the doctor’s at Seattle Grace Hospital it’s amazing there is someone to care for the patients.

Expect twists and turns for the 2009 season of Grey’s Anatomy. In fact, there are scheduled changes and more than likely there will be actor scandals and fan backlash that will cause unscheduled changes. Maybe this season should be summed up as “Expect the Unexpected”.

MANAGEMENT is a romantic comedy that chronicles a chance meeting between Mike Cranshaw (Steve Zahn) and Sue Claussen (Jennifer Aniston).

When Sue checks into the roadside motel owned by Mike’s parents in Arizona, what starts with a bottle of wine “compliments of MANAGEMENT” soon evolves into a multi-layered, cross-country journey of two people looking for a sense of purpose. Mike, an aimless dreamer, bets it all on a trip to Sue’s workplace in Maryland – only to find that she has no place for him in her carefully ordered life.

Buttoned down and obsessed with making a difference in the world, Sue goes back to her yogurt mogul ex-boyfriend Jango (Woody Harrelson), who promises her a chance to head his charity operations. But, having found something worth fighting for, Mike pits his hopes against Sue’s practicality, and the two embark on a twisted, bumpy, freeing journey to discover that their place in the world just might be together.

Shocking.. ! but a pretty good show by Tom Hanks.  You may even be surprised.. by the whole story and the ending.. but definitely kept me awake.. and wondering what the end of the story brings.  You wouldn’t wanna miss this one.

With their meager time limit steadily counting down, Langdon, accompanied by beautiful physicist Vittoria Vetra, must travel throughout Rome to unravel the carefully hidden signs that will lead them to a terrifying adversary, a harrowing discovery, and the shocking truth.

House MD Season 6 just started a few weeks ago… and like any of his shows.. i only watched it.. when i have nothing else to watch.  Why..??  because he is such a moody person.. and it doesn’t make sense that as a doctor.. he is behaving the way he is.  Some might say he is so macho.. but he is just an over confident and pretty sick old man.. in the show.  The first episode started with him killing his fellow hospital mate.. because he wanted to proof the doctors there wrong. .and that he was right.  I haven’t gotten to the end of the story.. so you can imagine.. how slow i’m gonna be .. at watching this.  But beggars can’t be choosers eh.

Brothers and Sisters Season 4 is out..!! September 27 was the first episode. whoo hooo..!!  i haven’t watched it yet.. but i really like this show.. but sometimes.. so drama rama eh..?

ABC has started releasing sneak peeks to the season premiere of “Brothers & Sisters”. First clip shows an interaction among Kitty, Robert and Kevin while the second one shows a family feud between Nora and Holly.

Showing a support, Kitty accompanies her husband in doing a TV interview. She happens to talk about an irrelevant topic about Robert talking in his sleep. Kevin convinces her that the interview is fine despite the lame statement.

Meanwhile, a celebration turns a disaster when Nora and Holly break the rules of their agreement. Holly rewards Justin and Rebecca a car as an engagement gift, something that irks Nora because they had a deal on giving nothing but a party. The conversation leads to how Holly had an affair with William while he was alive.
