Network Upfronts 2012

1 Comment

I know I’m over 3 weeks late here but…. better late than never right? So upfronts happened and brought about the final nail to the coffins of many shows as well as plenty of renewals for the networks. We also get a preview of what the fall 2012 has in store for us.

Lets’s start with ABC. Their cancelled shows for the 11-12 season were Charlie’s Angels, Desperate Housewives, GCB, Man Up!, Missing, Pan Am, The River and Work It. Renewed shows are Castle, Modern Family, Body of Proof, Cougar Town, Dancing With the Stars, Grey’s Anatomy, Happy Endings, Last Man Standing, Once Upon A Time, Private Practice, Revenge, Suburgatory, The Bachelor, and The Middle.

I’m not really sad about any of the shows that were cancelled here. The only one that I feel they should have given more time to was GCB. Maybe let it run a little more in the summer to catch more of an audience. Their ratings weren’t terrible either so I didn’t really understand that one. As for everything that got renewed YES, YES, YES especially Cougar Town. TBS came in with a last minute save on the show because ABC was definitely going to ax it. So come this fall Cougar Town will no longer air on ABC but on TBS. Continue reading Network Upfronts 2012 →

2012 MTV Movie Awards

Leave a comment

MTV movie awards are one of the most ridiculous of the many award shows out there, but they are always good for a few laughs. This year was hosted by Russell Brand again because no one else will dothis show.

This pre-show is a hot mess. Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) is a hot mess. Seriously Bonnie? What is with this terrible weave and your outfit is not any better. Ugh.  Love the shoes though. Here is a transcription of her interview with Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield. Kat to Emma Stone – “I am here with the lovely Emma Stone and I think there is somebody hiding behind you.” Andrew – “I’m not hiding.” Kat – “You’re not hiding.” Andrew – “No.” Kat – “Oh, he’s just being Spidermanny and stuff.” Awkward laughter from everyone. WTH??

Yes FUN. I love their single “We Are Young.” Such a good song. It makes me think of some Queen songs. YESSSSSSSS they brought Janelle Monae out to do her part of the song. Continue reading 2012 MTV Movie Awards →

Snow White & The Huntsman

1 Comment

Snow White & The Huntsman is the new film based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. In this adaptation, Kristen Stewart plays, Snow White,  the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen,played by Charlize Theron, who is out to destroy her. But the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth; Avengers, Thor, Cabin In The Woods) the queen orders to bring Snow White in from the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

I said before that I was looking forward to this movie mostly because of Charlize and because Kristen Stewart didn’t speak at all. Well I saw the movie this past week and it was pretty ok. On a ratings scale, it would be a B-. Charlize is good as usual. She did her thing with this part and is clearly the best part of this movie. She is also like crazy beautiful. I just kept looking at her was just mesmerized. Chris Hemsworth is also nice to look at. I thought with what he was given, he did a good job. I also liked that they didn’t go into a full-blown love story with the huntsman and Snow White but just provided you with teases of one.

As for Kristen Stewart, I was loving that the trailer was actually pretty true to the movie in that Kristen Stewart didn’t have many lines in the movie. There so many long stretches of dialogue that didn’t include her that I was just trilled. She also was able to emote more at a couple of points something other than the bitch face that she has permanently stuck on.

I would recommend this movie because it has everything a good gothic fantasy movie should: good action, a superb villain and just a hint of a love story. Snow White & The Huntsman is in theaters now.
