Best Moments From The 2012 Grammy Awards


The 2012 Grammy Awards were a spectacle of some the best (Adele) and worst (Nicki Minaj) of the music industry. The show clocked in at 3 hrs and 20 minutes and was one long drawn out mess with some bright spots in between. Here are the moments that stood out in the telecast.

Best and Worst Looks of The Grammy Awards


Definitely slim pickings when it came to fashion at the Grammy Awards tonight. Here are the best and worst looks of the night.

Best Looks

Jessie J

Love her. I like the dress but the hair is awful. Like I said slim pickings.

Adele

This woman and do no wrong to me. Love her, love her. She looks great. Simple. Elegance

Kelly Rowland

Kelly looks wonderful. Great dress and makeup. The back of her dress which can’t be seen in this pic makes her but look amazing. The dress just fit her really well.

Gwyneth Paltrow (Glee, Country Strong)

I usually hate what she wears but she looked great here. Loved the cut outs on the side and yes she only put her hair up but its something different than her usual straight hair that is down.

Rihanna

She was my best dressed of the night. Some might not agree but she just owned that carpet when she walked on. Its a simple black Armani dress that she helped design with him. Love the shoes. Her makeup looks good too. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the hair. She looks a little like Tina Turner/Angela Basset from What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Worst Dressed

Skylar Grey
Esperanza Spaulding
Taylor Swift

Ughh

Robyn

I just can’t with this outfit. Really? I love Robyn but man she needs to hire a stylist.

Fergie

This dress would have been fine if she had something underneath. I don’t even understand what she was thinking with this. It makes no sense.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki tried to show up Lady Gaga from last year’s show. She showed up with some guy dressed as a pope. I guess this wasn’t Nicki it was “Roman,” one of her other personalities.

Grammy Awards 2012


Don’t forget to check out the Grammy Awards tonight on CBS @ 8/7c. LL Cool J is hosting the show. The Red Carpet show on E! is on now. Looking forward to the Whitney Houston tribute.

Safe House(2012)


Denzel Washington does the same generic action flick that he has been pumping out in the past couple of years. That being said it was a good movie just the same ol. Safe House stars Denzel Washington as Tobin Frost, a former CIA agent who went rogue years before. He comes into the hands of the CIA and they hold him in Cape Town, South Africa to get information from him at one of their safe houses. Ryan Reynolds’ character is Matt Weston, keeper of the safe house. When the house is attacked, Weston and Frost go on the run in this action packed, Bourne-esque thriller trying to find out what is really happening.

Denzel Washington is such a great actor. From the very beginning of the film, you can tell he had a really good time playing this role. I think he likes doing the bad guys best. The characters he plays that are slightly to the left of the moral compass always seem to be five steps ahead of everyone and have a look of I’m better than you and I know it. He has that look in this and its fun to watch him mess with Ryan Reynolds’ character and get into his head. The supporting cast is pretty good in this. Vera Farmiga plays an agent who is in charge of getting Washington’s character back to the states and  Brendan Gleeson plays the boss of Reynolds’ character. There isn’t really much for them to do as this movie is all about Reynolds and Washington.

This movie is pretty predictable. I clocked the bad guy about 15 minutes into the movie. They try to throw a red herring at you but aren’t very successful in trying to trick you. The movie gives the audience exactly what they want. Go see this movie. It’s  great popcorn movie and it’s nice counter programming from all the Valentine’s Day stuff that is coming out this weekend.

Safe House is in theaters now.

This Means War(2012)


I will admit, I had very low expectations when I saw the trailer for this. I thought surely this will be an awful movie. I’m glad I was wrong about it. This Means War stars Chris Pine(Princess Diaries 2,Star Trek)  and Tom Hardy(Inception,Warrior) as FDR and Tuck,CIA agents who are partners and best friends until they both start dating the same woman,Lauren, played by Reese Witherspoon(Legally Blonde, Walk The Line). They then start fighting each other in order to win the girl using all of their spy tricks. Lauren enlist the help of her friend Trish (Chelsea Handler) to help her decide between the 2 men.

This movie should tickle the fancy and both men and women this coming Valentines day if you don’t want to get stuck going to that other movie, The Vow. This one is funny, has some good spy action and a lot of the bromance that will appeal to men but the women get all the romance that they want to see. It really is a perfect meld of the two. And there is a really fun chemistry between the whole cast. Had a fun time watching this one.

This Means War is in theater February 17, with a special national preview on Valentine’s Day. 

The Walking Dead Marathon


If you have never watched AMC’s The Walking Dead before or if you are like me and have watched a couple of episodes and the show kind of fell by the wayside, you are in luck. AMC will be running a 2-day marathon on Saturday and Sunday of the entire 1st season and of the episodes from the first part of season 2 in order for fans and newbies to catch up before it returns Sunday, February 12th at 10/9c for the 2nd half of season 2. Find the full schedule here.

 

The Vow: Its Better Than You’d Expect


The worst thing about romantic comedies is always the last 10 – 15 minutes of the movie when the girl or the guy goes and makes some grand gesture to show their love, whether it’s hailing a cab to get you to JFK in 2 seconds in the middle of rush hour traffic or running down the street yelling like a mad person to get the attention of the object of their affection. None of these happen in The Vow to which I am very thankful for.

The Vow is a film starring Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Sherlock Holmes) and Channing Tatum (Step Up, Haywire) as Paige and Leo, a married couple that gets into an accident that puts Paige in a coma. When she wakes up she doesn’t remember her husband or how she came to have the live that was presently living. Leo then tries to win his wife back and make her fall in love with him again.

While this sounds every sappy, clichéd, romantic movies, there was more than that. It had its moments but overall they toned down the over dramatic moments I hate in these types of movies. It was enough though to make 5 out of 6 of my friends that I saw it with whip out the Kleenex. I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching this movie though. I really like Rachel McAdams. She just completely shines in almost everything she does and Channing Tatum’s acting has improved some. Some of the scenes where he is crying and talking about his relationship with his wife were just so heartbreaking. It was just good. But if you feel that his acting wasn’t that great, there are plenty of shirtless scenes to make up for it. (Sidenote: He has such an ugly cry face). The supporting cast was pretty good. Love Jessica Lange (American Horror Story) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park).

I think it’s a good chick flick. Nothing spectacular but if there was a list of movies like this that have come out in the last 2 years, I would put it up there.  But I don’t know if that says that the movie was good or that the romantic movies from the last 2 years have been utter crap.

The Vow is in theaters this Friday.
