New Season

Bravo's hit show The Real Housewives of Orange County is back for a third season. In the opener, Vicki (second from left) buys her daughter Briana, an A+ nursing school student, a new Mercedes Benz. Lauri (in white) shares details of her nuptials to millionaire George and shares how everyone is coping since moving her family into his house. Meanwhile Jeana (pink) plans her middle-daughter Kara's graduation party. Tammy (far right) and her daughters, however, face a tragedy. Tammy's ex-husband Lou Knickerbocker recently passed of a massive heart attack. Unfortunately, he left no will behind for his daughters though his "Thai-wife", or "mail-order bride", as his daughters refer to her, will inherit everything. Lindsey, who was living with Lou before his death was kicked out by the "Thai wife" and she is forced to live with older sister Megan. Tammy's water damage on her home has not been fixed yet and in the mean time, the girls live in a studio apartment above the house.

The new wife on the block, Tamra, a realtor and mother of four, also has her drama. Her oldest son, Ryan (21), from a previous marriage brings about tension upon moving back in with her and current husband, Simon, who has issues with Ryan. Tamra remains in between their tension.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m.

Bee Movie Review

While I have yet to see Bee Movie, the new animated Dreamworks film starring Jerry Seinfeld, who also wrote and produced the film, I have been checking up on reviews before heading to the theater. Regardless of the following, Bee Movie garnered $39.33 million on opening weekend.

Here is an excerpt from the LATimes review:

"Bee Movie" feels as if it was cut from a mold made in the '90s.A coming-of-age story about a kid from a conformist society whose individualism and nonconformity cause problems at first but eventually save the day, "Bee Movie" parrots the I-gotta-be-me standard without thinking it through.Barry Benson (Seinfeld), is a young bee fresh out of college about to forcibly enter the workforce.

While flying over Central Park, Barry is separated from the rest of the squadron and lost. He winds up inside the apartment of Vanessa (Renée Zellweger), a florist, who saves Barry from her meathead boyfriend, Ken (Patrick Warburton), when Ken tries to swat him. Grateful, Barry breaks the cardinal rule of bees and talks to Vanessa. Soon she and Barry become close friends, and Barry returns to the hive full of a newfound appreciation for the human way of life. (Cinnabon is high on his list of marvels.)

The jokes are the best thing about it ("I was already a bloodsucking parasite," says a mosquito turned lawyer, played by Chris Rock. "All I needed was the briefcase.") They're also the worst thing about it. ("I just hope she's bee-ish," sighs Barry's anxious mother, played by Kathy Bates, on learning that her son is interested in someone who may or may not be a wasp. Get it?)

This would be OK if "Bee Movie"-- a pun on B movie that goes no further than the title -- weren't also content to remain in the shallow part of the pool, story-wise. The stakes are low. It's a bee movie about nothing."

King Tut's face unveiled to world

(Source: BCC NEWS)

The face of Egypt's most famous ancient ruler, King Tutankhamun, has been put on public display for the first time.
Archaeologists took the mummy from its stone sarcophagus and placed it in a climate-controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.
The event comes 85 years to the day after the pharaoh's tomb was discovered by British explorer Howard Carter.
Until now, only about 50 living people have seen the face of the boy king, who died more than 3,000 years ago.
As experts lifted Tutankhamun from his coffin they briefly set aside the white linen covering his remains, revealing a shrivelled black face and body.

My review of Nip/Tuck!

The fifth season of hit show Nip/Tuck premiered last night on FX. Previously set in Miami, fans returned to see their favorite on-screen doctors Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) settle in their new humble abode, Los Angeles.

Upon opening shop in L.A, Sean and Christian soon learn exactly where they are living now - in the land of pristine faces and bodies who have been nipped and tucked to the maximal level. Their rude awakening forces them to use themselves as bait in nightclubs in their pursuit of clients. It is there where they meet Fiona McNeil (Lauren Hutton), a publicist. "Celebrity is power," she tells Sean and Christian and offers two of her clientele to them. "Carly Summers," the woman after which the season premiere is named, is a middle-aged actress who acknowledges herself as beautiful and in no dire need of surgery. McNeil disagrees and requests the doctors to "refresh her face so we can refresh her career." Being the charming surgeon that is Christian Troy, he woos Summers on a date and she later proceeds to seek his honest opinion of her body. Client one down.

Meanwhile, a producer pays a visit to the offices of McNamara/Troy for reconstructive surgery of his scars caused by his personal dominatrix. Classic Nip/Tuck drama there.

McNeil then introduces the doctors to Freddy Prune (Oliver Platt), the effete flamboyant director and creator of Hearts N' Scalpels, a soft-core blend of Nip/Tuck itself and ER. The over-the-top characters, formulaic dialogue and unrealistic surgeries are a nuisance to McNamara/Troy at first but then intrigue them as they are offered guest spots on the series. After their premiere on Scalpels, Christian, usually the charmer, fades in the background as surgery requests from female fans come pouring in for Sean.

The fourth season was becoming humdrum and director Ryan Murphy made a wise decision in changing the locale and introducing new characters. Undoubtedly, the new setting and show-within-a-show adventures of the Adonis' that are Sean and Christian will lend excitement to returning fans. Catch Nip/Tuck on FX Tuesday nights at 10 p.m.

I'm back!

So this blog was in dire need of an update. Once again, I apologize. I've been swarmed with SATs, ACTs, college applications, etc. I'm all finished now though, so I'll be on here more often! =)

Just a reminder:

Don't miss Nip/Tuck Season 5 Premiere tonight at 10 pm Eastern time on your local FX channel. It's my fav =)

Update

To my readers, I'm incredibly sorry for the lack of new blog posts. It's been over a week, but I've been consumed with college applications! Yes, if you didn't know, I'm a senior in high school. Anywho, I have been a reader of PostSecret.com for sometime now, and I've always been intrigued by how Frank Warren's project/website has enabled people across the nation (and most likely the world too) to at least for a moment breathe a sigh of relief as they place their secret in the mail. We're often consumed with regret for things we feel we cannot say but many should use PostSecret as their outlet. Below are a few examples of today's SundaySecrets.
