Cows On the Couch

Definitely a family show – it was hilarious! After all it had Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in it – plus lots of powered actor and actresses.  The story is about Adam Sandler (Lenny Feder) hunting porcine and hollering all the measure, shines as Lenny Feder.  I read some not so nice reviews about this movie – but we loved it – and so did our children.  The kids were funny too and the breast feeding was a bit disturbing but still – it was pretty good – if i may say.  So if it comes out on DVD – you have to get a copy and watch it – we are definitely getting it.

The spouse, the boys and their friends (all guys) spent the last weekend before school opens next week – at Kelly’s Cove  – with the new thule roof racks on two of the father’s mini vans – they brought their biking equipments with them as well.   With 110% price match and free ground shipping the spouse argued we can’t go wrong in buying them.  Plus they do a lot of outdoorsy stuff during the summer – so yes – it was a good investment.  They do have bike packages and also water sports rack as well – so we will be looking into it as well during the next summer.

The weekend ended pretty good – according to the spouse – they did a lot of biking and hiking as well as canoeing – they are already planning where they want to go for the next summer.  So the water sports rack – will come in handy for that.   Boys will always be boys eh ?  but I do encourage them to do outdoorsy things as much as possible – it’s good bonding time for the fathers and sons – what about yours? do you make time for the children to be with their dad alone?

Congratulations to Jim Parsons from Big Bang Theory – in his role as Sheldon -  who picked up his first Emmy for Lead Actor on The Big Bang Theory! I do like Sheldon – in this funny tv sitcom!  a well deserved winning I’ll have to say.  Fans like my spouse would be really happy to know – he really does act so well as Sheldon – very nerdy if i may say so.

Definitely a must watch movie – if you haven’t seen it in the theaters yet – so watch out for it when it comes out on DVD.   I went with some of my friends to the movies for this – and it was really good.  Angelina Jolie was in it – and I think that was the draw for me – for this movie.

The story is about a CIA agent – Angelina Jolie who had to run from her own people – because a Russian defector claimed that she was the double agent sent to kill the Russian President.  Her boss – Ted Winters turned out to be someone – not what we had expected and the saddest part of this show – was the killing of her husband – whom she was really in love with.  Apparently, Evelyn Salt was a child trained Russian – put in United States for a bigger purpose when they are older – she is not the only child trained and put into different parts of United States.   So what happened in the end?  watch it and you will know – i don’t want to tell you the entire story eh.

Truth be told I only found out about Hilary Duff’s wedding from a friend – a week ago – i didn’t even know that she was getting married.   You see her wedding pictures and gowns were featured in OK magazine and the girlfriend who is getting married soon – had looked high and low in a women’s clothing catalogs for similar dresses for her wedding and cocktail party.   I’m guessing the girlfriend don’t want to buy the same gown or dress but something similar and more affordable.

Anyhow, it comes as no surprised to all – I guess after Hilary Duff flashed her huge diamond ring costing about $1 million from her professional hockey player boyfriend – Mike Comrie last February.  I heard that Hilary Duff had two bags of Vera Wang’s dresses at one time – shopping – or caught with it by the paparazzi.  I saw a  mermaid gown by Vera Wang for her nuptials and it was really gorgeous !  Good luck to my friend to trying to find something as awesome eh.

I didn’t get to see Sex and the City II in the movies although I had swear that I would.  Kids were sick that week – so I gave it a miss.  What about you?  did you watch it?  If you haven’t like myself – you can check out this link I found.  Pretty good quality and a quick sneak peek wouldn’t be of any harm eh.

I actually came across this new show by fluke – course – i was looking for coupons for buying some shoes and to shop at Sears online.  You all know how I love the discount and every little bit of savings means a lot to a mother who has a few kids.  I never used to be like this – till i have kids – what about you? are you like that too?  anyhow – while looking for coupons for shoes – i saw this big advertisement on the papers for this new tv show that started in June 2010.  I had thought to myself it was like a kid’s show – so i didn’t think very much about it at that time – afterall, coupons comes first eh haha!

Well, i caught the pilot online a month ago and was quite intrigue by all these pretty gals – yes – all the 4 actresses relatively new to me – but darn pretty and have nice names.  Aria, Hannah, Spencer and Emily.  I was skeptical after the pilot but I still watched it outta curiousity and after going thru’ a few episode – I kinda like it.  Ok – here’s the quick synopsis about it.

Apparently, 4 good friends shares some secret with a girl that went missing – last summer – Allison.   When found dead and buried in her own backyard a few episodes later – the 4 girls start getting text messages from an anonymous person “A” telling the girls she knows all about their secret.  But many episodes later – i’m still confused as to what the secret might be.  It’s a pretty good plot – if you can watch it after the first 3 episodes – but it reminds me a bit about Gossip Girls – the mysterious person behind all those text messages.  Have fun – i’m sure you might like it – not a bad show for the family as well – but not for too, too young kids please.

Fans of Weeds – the pretty housewife turned drug dealer – will be happy to know that Season 6 is out – check out the sneak peek.

Was it good – not bad – but much anticipation – didn’t really work out to be as good as I had hoped – pretty slow and only 25 mins of show – so let me know what you think.  But I’m a big fan of Weeds – just make sure the kids are not around when you watch them.

I’m surprised that I didn’t write about this show for I watched it like a month ago.  A girlfriend recommended it because she went for the opening in the local theatre here and received all sorts of  promotional tote bags from the show – so i heard.   I wished I could keep up with stuff like that – love promotional items – don’t you?  anything free is good eh.  But i especially love tote bags!!!  can’t get enough of them – so useful I find them.

Anyhow – the joke about Cooking With Stella is Canada’s answer to Julie and Julia – is just too funny – because the show is NOTHING like Julie and Julia. Nevertheless, it was a pretty good movie – but doesn’t portray India very nicely i must say.  Housekeeper/cook of the Canadian High Comm in New Delhi – Stella played by Seema Biswas (relatively unknown) to us, although cooks well – but in my honest opinion steals from her very simple minded or too trusting employers.  New posted couple Michael and Maya arrived treating Stella like one of their own but instead Stella ganged up with new nanny – Tannu who needed money – to fake her own kidnapped.   I have mixed feelings about the show – because it sure doesn’t teach good values – and i came out of the show – feeling kinda disgusted by how dishonest people can be.  So watch it if you must but the moral is just wrong.

We rented this movie because of the youngest – he is still very young – so if we wanted to watch a movie with him – it had to be a kid – kid movie. Grey Heffley played by cute little Zachary Gordon – who is just starting middle school expects the worst but trying to be the most like and popular kid in school.  He also has a brother – who is nothing but horrid to him.    The more Greg tries to fit in, the more he became an outcast.  My kid like the sketches during the school most – from the diary that Greg kept to survive his middle school ordeal.  And of course, I recognized Chloe Moretz from Kick Ass although she looked a lot more taller in this show.   So yes – do watch it – with your kids – it was fun for the entire family.
