Cows On the Couch

I had actually expected more of the Lovely Bones – because I’ve heard so much about the movie and everyone was coming in and asking for it before it came out.  But alas – although a good movie – i had wished that they were more detailed about the story.  Very vague in my humble opinion.

The Lovely Bones is the story of a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbor. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body.

Touted to be one of the most expensive and sci fi movie ever made – Avatar did not disappoint – some said it was good – but others they didn’t like it.   But since it had awesome reviews – i pretty much have to check it out like any true movie addict right?   The animation is very, very good, the visuals amazing, they developed a complex and believable alien ecosystem, and the 3D works very well.   So if you haven’t watched it – go rent a dvd.

Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver- an unlikey duo but good actor and actress – and it’s a comedy – so how can I miss this one right?   A recently paroled ex-con who has trouble adjusting to the wacky normalcy of life outside of prison. He has spent the last three years behind bars after getting caught committing a crime and taking the rap for his much more dangerous pal.  Go watch it in a hurry – but some parts were hard to believe – like his parole officer falling in love with him.

A Fistful Of Stances aired March 17, 2010 and is one of the best martial art tv series I’ve seen.  Be prepared to cry your eyes out because this show is really sad.  I didn’t think i would like any martial art show – but this one sure touches reality i our everyday life and showed us that people can be shockingly evil yet can show so much compassion to their own. I know you will like it – it has 25 episodes and I’m all done watching it.  You have fun!

AU YEUNG WAI-LAN (Yuen Qiu), owner of a martial arts training school, is reunited with her long-lost son KOO YU-CHEUNG (Kevin Cheng) after years of agonizing separation. On his return home, CHEUNG is shocked to find that his younger brother KOO YU-TONG (Ma Kwok Ming) has been critically ill and that his father was murdered long ago by WING TAK (Lam Ka Wah), the existing director of a pharmaceutical company and a bitter old foe of the KOOs. CHEUNG has never been into kung-fu but shows glimpses of his potential when he strikes back at the impudent, arrogant WING MAN-KWAN (Jacky Heung), also the son of TAK. Pinning all her hopes on CHEUNG, LAN not only teaches him a special set of kung-fu skills created by the family, but also registers for him for the Guangdong Boxing Championship Tournament. Out of the blue, CHEUNG’s opponent in the final turns out to be KWAN.

CHEUNG starts losing his bearings after achieving growing success and recognition in the field of martial arts. Caught up in the love triangle between LAN’s apprentice YING NGAN-MING (Natalie Tong), his dream girl CHOW MUI-MUI (Nancy Wu) and himself, CHEUNG is utterly confused and exhausted, which later causes his failure in the final tournament.

I’ve always liked Sandra Bullock – who doesn’t right?  she always seems like the kind who is quite level headed and no nonsense type although she does act the clown a lot.  But no matter what – no woman deserved to be cheated on – and not once nor twice  it seems.  When the news broke a month ago – i didn’t think much of  it – i had hope it was just gossips and nothing else.   Apparently, it is true that Sandra’s husband – Jesse James is quite the philanderer and that Michelle “the Bombshell” McGee was not the first mistress, merely the only mistress to go public with James’ adultery.  So sad – the divorce will get nasty and their  children will be caught in between and suffer the consequences and the father’s actions.

I was pretty happy when i read about John Travolta having another baby soon.  Firstly, it is  because of the death of their son – Jett – who passed away suddenly last year.  But John Travolta as we all know – is not young anymore – so I’m truly wishing them good luck and hope they have a healthy baby really soon.  Congrats.. Kelly & John!
