The blogosphere has been abuzz about Saving Hope ever since it a has been announced that Erica Durance would be headlining the show. The addition of Michael Shanks and Daniel Gillies certainly didn’t hurt the buzz.
The show is Canadian produced and is scheduled to air this summer on CTV and NBC, which has picked up the show for US airings. [NBC has it listed as premiering on June 7th].
The above promo certainly has us intrigued and we are really excited to see this show on the air.
Wow what a twist. I never would´ve guessed that she was in the coffin. After the Katya story told so eloquently by the Original brothers (isn´t it weird that all the hot vampire brothers seem to fall in love with the same girl ?) I had a nagging feeling that the first blood bank was in the coffin. But Mama Original Witch is a nice twist. The next episodes are going to be really intriguing because of the Original family back and in action.
We are kind of sad to see Papa Forbes die and we are still confused on the whole Ring thing.
Yes they tried to technically explain it because Elena is the doppelgänger she is supernatural and she can kill Rick and he comes back but seriously it was a huge gamble.
What would these idiots have done when Rick really had died? And does 911 in that town work differently? They dial and hang up and no one follows up?
OK enough rambling.
Looking forward to more and hello TV weekend
OK The Finder is set in Florida and Psych is set in Santa Barbara but the overall tone and coloring is pretty similar. Even Shawn and Walter have some ( a lot of ) similarities. I guess they are different as to Walter has his genius trade because of his injury and Shawn is pretending to be psychic but there mannerisms in solving their cases are pretty much the same. This does not mean that we don´t like the Finder we just felt reminded of our sweet pineapple loving friends over at USA.
And here for your entertainment the music themes for both shows:
So now you can decide for yourselves, is The Finder a show you are going to keep watching? We most certainly are going to keep our eyes on it, even if it only is so we can see Geoff Stults on our screens again. Yes we love him 
Jane by Design is ABC Family`s newest addition and when you squint you can even over look the ridiculous notion that a high schooler can get the position of PA but it has a hard stand because after Switched at Birth any show has a difficult live.
Jane Quimby is a 16 year old high school loner with a, well lets call it rebellious and forward fashion style. As any teenage girl in a TV Show she has a long time crush and a guy best friend (who is the only one who knows about her double life). Don`t run away it gets even crazier.
By the second episode this girl has to attend a fashion line preview and her winter formal at the same time, and the whole thing almost works. And naturally so the show doesn't`t blow up in a matter of seconds she manages the high fashion stuff but crumbles in the personal life section of a high schooler …. oh yeah and the old dress of her mom, which she reworked and pepped a little is sent out as the final puzzle piece of her designer bosses line (yeah I see a fun reveal coming when the line hits stores 
Okay enough nagging … it is a fun and quirky show and it could develop into a new guilty pleasure.
Yes we realize we are supposed to have posts for a boatload of Shows ready but today we got distracted by the release of this wonderful trailer.
Back in the day when the first Lord of the Rings Movie came out we were skeptical and way too young to have a real opinion besides “Isn't he cute?” –> relate this to any actor in the movie but not the blonde one 
We love and are probably making an exception and run to the theater to see the movie on the first night out!
And of course the classic and always there love story is woven into every movie and the eye candy well we’ll get to that in the separate part discussions.
According to imdb Taglines for this movie included
“If loyalties must be broken, If the lines must be crossed, do it fast, do it Furious”
and
“When the sun goes down, Another world comes to life”.
Both capture the movies story brilliantly but didn’t you also get a little Vampire/Werewolf and other creatures chill with the latter? Yes, todays media world is practically overflowing with these creatures and the people creating the line were referencing the underground racing scene but I could also imagine another movie with that tagline. A movie about two creatures of the night. But that’s besides the point.
The Fast and the Furious is at it’s core about an undercover cop who infiltrates the street racing scene and learns that they aren’t all bad guys. He falls in love and his conflict gets bigger. In the end he even lets the guy get away. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker created, with their acting, two characters and a believable if yet unstable ( built on lies) friendship.
Starring: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and Cole HauserThis was the movie for Paul Walker. Due to contracting issues Vin Diesel wasn’t in this one and so the plot was pretty much about Brian O’Conner (Walkers character). O’Conner gets caught on having his friend Dom letting escape at the end of the last film and he gets a chance to, well lets say redeem himself. He has to infiltrate a drug distribution ring and as luck will have it he has to win a street race to get a job as a currier in the ring. At his side is an ex-con (also a friend…. he seems to have a lot of cons in his circle) and one of my favorite quotes in the whole movie stems from this ‘friend’:
“You always get in trouble over a girl!”
The girl causing the trouble in this movie is the fabulous Eva Mendes, who plays Monica Fuentes, an undercover cop already inside the drug cartels inner circle.Overall a good movie but without Vin Diesel the movie isn’t as good as the first. (Sadly)
: Lucas Black, Zachery Ty Bryan and Bow WowThe first movie in the franchise with technically no involvement by actors form the first two films. I have to say technically because SPOILER ALERT Vin Diesel has a cameo in the last scene as a street racer. We assume as his character Dom Torreto but it is never said. With the movie, like the title suggests we left the US and went to Japan where apparently street racing is the latest fun activity too. I have to confess I was confused when I read who was starring in this. I had never heard about Lucas Black before and Zach Bryan is always going to be one of the kids from Home Improvement for me and Bow Wow is more famous for his music. But I got to admit his acting career isn’t shabby. I for one was also confused by the age the character are supposed to have. Does anyone know?
Over all I didn’t think this movie was perfect, it was entertaining but it could’ve been a stand alone only named Tokyo Drift.
“New Model. Original Parts.”
We were giddy and planned the trip to the theater in advance. Way in advance.
The first part of the movie was and is confusing. Dom is back in the states? How? (SPOILERALERT Watch the end credits!) He is stealing trucks with his crew. Somehow Brian O’Connor now is a FBI agent but his boss(es) don’t really trust him. (They gave him a car and had him put a tracker in it! Watch what happens when he has to kill the GPS chip to not get his cover blown! [Quote from his supervisor(?): “He is running!”] Yeah right!) As per usual Walker’s character has to infiltrate some street racing drug smuggling group to do his job and just as trouble will have it Dom is there too. Yeah Letty sadly had to die for that to happen but still Dom is back and wants revenge. He blames Brian for her death, because she worked for him when she got killed. The drug lord who killed Letty is the same the two now drive for. (Yes I know the story is lame and predictable!) What is fun to watch again is that the two knuckleheads have to work together and well trust in each other to survive and the struggle they portray was believable to me! Finally back with our favorite speed limit breaking guys we loved this movie and can only say WATCH IT! Oh and honorary mention for Laz Alonso. He was one of the drivers in the mexico dessert thing (The pussie!) He know stars in Breakout Kings as a Marshal who is working with convicts to catch escaped prisoners.
The original Title for this movie was and is Fast Five but I kind of prefer that too but for the sake of keeping the titles in one theme lets go with Fast&Furious Five, okay?
The first movie in which Paul Walker’s character is not on assigment on the wrong side of the law (well where is the wrong side when the supposed bad guys are the movies heroes?). Dwayne Johnson as an FBI agent is hot on their tail but he is not the only one! So it is a fast paced movie in which our favorite speeding duo has to escape two ‘hunters’. In the end even the romance heavy subplot gets an end. Yes she is pregnant. (Although I am asking myself when they had time for that to happen?)
There are rumors around that a sixth part is in the making. If and when it hits this review will get updated and reposted.
And now it is up to you. What did you think of the movies? This review and do you want to see a sixth part to this? Sound off below.
Fox announced late last night the cancellation of 5 shows to make room for the newly ordered to series Projects.
So which shows got the boot? And does it hurt? YES!
And what are the newly ordered Shows?
The Finder
Yes my friends they picked it up! The Bones Spin-off is a go! We will see if there are changes to the cast seeing as Saffron Burrows wasn't really liked by the fans when Bones aired the Backdoor-Pilot Episode. I am curious to see Michael Clarke Duncan in this role and at that more often onscreen. Geoff Stults is the eye candy in here and I have to admit I kinda had a crush on him back when he first came to Seventh Heaven.
Alcatraz
Another Show by J.J. Abrams, the brilliant man that gave us Alias, Lost and Fringe (all three mythological heavy shows) and more. Alcatraz is set to star Lost vet Jorge Garcia and the Pilot at least reads great on other cast. I am not sure at the moment but Parminder Nagra (ER, Bend it like Beckham) is going to be a regular on the show too. I am going to give it a try at least.
The New Girl
This comedy starring Zooey Deschanel has us intrigued because it is supposed to be about 'sexual politics' and well it is Zooey. So now both Deschanel sisters are under contract with FOX that is a hit. And just another movie actor going (back) to the small screen!
I hate my teenage daughter
The shows name alone... kind of sounds like Shit my dad says (no offense people). Teenagers are supposed to be rebellious so hating them isn't all that hard and can I say it, taking out your teenage frustration on your kid is just pathetic. We'll give it a try and decide again.
So what do you say? Which Pilots get a go from you?
Are you sad about the cancelations? Sound of here!
From the pilot, which was more of a short movie, this show has produced many Question marks and with them captivated viewers. ALIAS combines the strong female spy with a sensible young woman and throws in a heavy mystery plot. Although throwing in isn’t exactly the right word for the mystery plot, revolving around a DaVinci and Nostradamus like Italian inventor and philosopher named Milo Rambaldi. My name is Sydney Bristow. Seven years ago I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA called SD-6. I was sworn to secrecy, but I couldn't keep it from my fiancé. And when the head of SD-6 found out, he had him killed. That's when I learned the truth: SD-6 is not part of the CIA. I've been working for the very people I thought I was fighting against. So, I went to the only place that could help me take them down. Now I'm a double agent for the CIA, where my handler is a man named Michael Vaughn. Only one other person knows the truth about what I do, another double agent inside SD-6. Someone I hardly know - my father.
