Lots of premieres tonight. NBC comedy is back and another Braxton gets their own show. My DVR is getting full and it’s not even the official premiere week yet.
8:30/7:30c – NBC – Up All Night – Season 2 Premiere. Christina Applegate, Maya Rudolph and Will Arnett all return for the second season of this hilarious show. In tonight’s premiere Reagan and Ava’s friendship gets tested after the news of the show’s cancellation. Meanwhile, Reagan hires her brother Scott (Luka Jones; Best Friends Forever) to help remodel their bathroom, and Chris decides to re-enter the working world.
9/8c – NBC – The Office – Season 9 Premiere. The show is back for its ninth and last season (finally). The show is said to be back in fighting form after the travesty that has been the last two seasons. In the premiere, Jim and Dwight are thrown off-balance by the arrival of two young employees that the others dub “the new Jim” and “Dwight, Jr.” Andy comes back from Outward Bound leadership training with a desire for vengeance on Nellie. Will Oscar adopt Angela’s cat? Kevin saves a turtle.
9:30/8:30c – NBC – Parks & Recreation – Season 5 Premiere. Leslie and Andy visit Ben and April at their new jobs in Washington D.C., and Leslie feels overwhelmed by the city — especially after meeting two of her idols (Senators Barbara Boxer and Olympia Snowe). Meanwhile, Ron throws a “thank you” barbecue for the entire Parks and Recreation staff.
10/9c – WE – Tamar & Vince – Series Premiere. In the hit series Braxton Family Values, viewers were introduced to the bold and sassy youngest sister of the Braxton clan, Tamar, and her music mogul husband Vince Herbert. A true fan favorite, Tamar is back to claim the spotlight and reign “diva supreme.” The show will focus on Tamar’s obsession with achieving instant worldwide pop stardom and Vince’s attempts to help her get there, and keep his sanity in the process. As Tamar’s “husband-ager,” Vince (owner of Streamline Records and brains behind major pop star Lady Gaga) often walks a fine line between being a supportive husband and an authoritative manager. Crazy in love through their highs and lows, the couple is out to prove you can mix business with pleasure.
John Carter – One of the worst things Disney ever made. Seriously? They spent $250 million making this crap and then additional money trying to market it. It’s 
Jeff Who Lives At Home – This was the most random movie. When I saw it I didn’t know where it would go but where it did go was random and a little unexpected but all in a good way. This movie stars Jason Segel (The Muppets, How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) as a 30 year old who is just wandering aimlessly through life looking for signs as to what his destiny in life is. It also stars Ed Helms (Hangover, The Office, Cedar Rapids) as his brother and Susan Sarandon (Enchanted, Step Mom, Solitary Man) as his mother. When Jeff is sent on an errand by his mother, he goes on a random adventure which brings him to cross paths with his family in random locations and circumstances. Through the journey, Jeff might find his path after all. It was pretty good in an unexpected kind of way. Jeff Who Lives At Home is playing in limited release.
Casa de mi Padre – Stars Will Ferrell (Old School, Talladega Nights), Gael Garcia Bernal (Letters to Juliet, Amores Perros, Motorcycle Diaries), and Diego Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Milk). This movie is about a family that ends up in a war with a big drug dealer. It is done in the style of a wayyy over the top telenovela. I didn’t like this movie much. It was absolutely ridiculous. It might have been because according to my friend, a lot was lost in translation. There were many things that were said in Spanish (which the entire movie is in) that are hilarious in that language but when translated and put into English subtitles is not at all. I thought it was going to be hilarious; stupid but hilarious. That’s what Will Ferrell does. I would say Redbox and Netflix when it comes out on DVD. Don’t waste your time. But if you do, it’s playing in limited release now.
