Boy George back at it NYE, Australia
Musician that I am, when I heard Boy George belt a few acapella bars of the jazz standard “Cry Me a River” on Carson late one night many moons ago I’ve been a fan of Boy George ever since. Apparently, the Culture Club has resurrected!

In Time...
… is a modern era, 21st Century version of Robin Hood, a substantial thriller/suspense SciFi flick with a powerful premise that adds interesting philosophical social conscious to the concept “time is money” where: your life's cycles are bartered like money, except when time runs out, you die. Safe my kids once they were 14 or older (language, violence, death), and OK to watch with and Dad both. On a scale of 5, easily a 3.

Three Musketeer's
The 2011 iteration of Dumas’ Three Musketeer’s is by far is the best ever (others were ‘73 and ‘93), so join Athos, Aramis, and Porthos as the story unfolds how they unite with D'Artagnan, combining forces to battle the sinister Cardinal and Ma’lady plotting to incite the English into launching a war against the French, which serves segway into what certain to be a sequel to his series. Several supporting character roles all excel here - and it’s great to see Orlando Bloom back on the big screen again in his part. Safe for my boys when they were 12 or older, and good family fun to enjoy with Mom and Dad also. An easy 6 out of a 10 point rating system.

Killer Elite
Killer Elite plays like a John LaCarre novel put in motion; while there’s action, romance, and intrigue it’s the execution of the plot through concise dialog detailing these true story events that pulls you in. I found it far better than many critics are leading you to believe. An easy 7 out of 10 with violence and nudity because you won’t figure out the instigator of it until very late in the story when you are told. Not for my children ages 15 or under and yet Mom & Dad both will enjoy this movie.

Terra Nova…
… absolutely unforgettable for its visual appeal yet while also with absolutely forgettable characters yielding some boring ass dialogue to top it all off. Won’t last long except for the fact I’ll wager Fox sunk a huge chunk a cash in it.

Dear Emmy,

IMO you failed me again. Others think so too. Definitely a tad pathetic when your “In Memoriam” section for stars gone is the best, except it really wasn’t (explained here), a Taxi star? Inexcusable for you, Oscar or anyone not to get that right if you’re going to do it. I must admit though Lunch did better than I expected. Pretty sure I won’t tune you in next time at all – best use of my time? Wait it out and read your “winners” list with coffee the morning after.

Awesome! Exquisitely beautiful again this past Friday evening. Oldest son’s first movie ever in a theater.

Drive
Drive feels like a masterpiece crime thriller thrill ride that definitely has brutal bloody violence, foul language and some nudity in it; the mood is dark, and the story - unnervingly exciting – a smart and stylish work if you can tolerate violence - not for any of my children 17 or under; Dad would like it, Mom wouldn’t finish watching it, I’m sure, and I enjoyed it - a 9 out of 10.

I’ve got A Secret, 1957
Many my friends watched this show in childhood…
…however, probably not this one particularly interesting historical airing. I’ve Got A Secret is the original reality TV show. It’s interesting to see the show gave gave away cigarettes and $100 cash to contestants whose identity the panel failed to guess.

SYTYD Season 8 finale
Go Melanie - she did a full back bend while in splits in her solo - amazing! and Tadd, B-Boy extraordinaire tonight at 8P. Last night SYTYCD almost out did itself compared to last weeks par excellence performances for entertainment value. I'm going to try to get tix for this entourage when they pass through here.
Side note: at first not recognizing Christina Applegate, but I felt she fit right in as guest judge. SYTYCD should consider guest changes as a regular part of the show if the could get them to keep with Christina's “fit right in” persona.

SYTYCD
Alisha's time was past and I agree the fella sent home last night never pushed it to the edge except for his solos, but its taken me 8 seasons to realize the viewers are inconstant w their commitment to the show as evidenced by their voting habits as to where the best talent exists when comparing SYTYCD to IDOL.Oh, I picked Ryan as the Season 8 Winner first time I saw her dance but if she ends up in the bottom 3 one more time, I’ll be wrong cause she’ll be gone.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
Huge, uber cool bots brought to life and partnering with humans against the bad guys - think: additional bots gone awry – sounds so Sci Fi – well, it is! The visual impact of the transmogrifications and the humanity of the bots brought to life evoke some surprise emotional feeling though the story is essentially weak and lost in the effects as the visual sensory overload could’ve been traded for better, upgraded dialog and plot. You’ll still sigh when Sam watches “B’s” (his nickname for Bumblebee) eminent demise, but still, I can only muster a 5 out of 10 rating for this installment of the series as much as I did like it - story and dialog were lacking. If you’re going see it though it’s a must see on the big screen – not for dinky screens! Almost 3 hours long. Safe to watch with parents and grandparents, who probably won’t like it, and OK for children 13 and over.

On Old Westerns
I love a good Western. This post is a trip down memory lane with the old Western heroes! Click here to revisit many of those old Western memories on the owner’s site who created the presentation. Remember those Saturday afternoon matinees that always had a Western movie along with cartoons, shorts, and a serial? Ever wonder just who all those minor characters were who populated western after western with few lines and a yet familiar face? Well, that link above has pictures and names, so after 50 or so years, say "Howdy" to some of those general store, saloon keeper, blacksmith mini-heroes of western days gone bye.
