Hangover Part 2 - My review

Tonight I went to see the sequel to the Hangover. the crazy named - Hangover Part 2. Now very few times is a sequel better then the original. Superman 2, Empire Strikes Back,Terminator 2, even Shrek 2 all good examples. But mostly you get disasters like Sex and City 2 or Speed 2. Now this one falls somewhere in the middle. It's OK. Nothing great, but nothing really bad.

It is basically the same story from the last on, except this on is set in Bangkok, how exotic. I think they should have taken a lesson from SATC 2, just because you can film overseas, doesn't mean you have too.

When I say it is the say story, I mean it. Right down to the pictures during the end credits. The "wolf pack" get so messed up they can't remember what happened that night. They can't find Allen's future brother in law. Bangkok has him, seems to be said over and over again. Will they find him? What do you think. Will they have experienced lots of crazy things along the way? What do you think Will there be a sub plot involving a trany Thai stripper? What do you think.

Will everything work out in the end. Yeah, what do you think.

Will I run back and see this movie again? What do you think.

What did I like about this movie? Bradley Cooper's blue eyes and he wears the whitest shirt ever. Go just for him. That is really why I did.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Trailer

What is the feel good movie to see over Christmas? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo of course.
For the 5 or so people who have not read the book yet. This Christmas brings the American movie version, directed by David Fincher, stars Daniel Craig, Stellan Skarsgaard, Robin Wright, Christopher Plummer and Joely Richardson.
The girl is played by Rooney Mara, never heard of her. She was the girl who dumps Mark Zuckerberg, in the beginning of The Social Network.
This trailer is so good. It makes me what to see this movie as soon as it come,out, even thou I already know what happens.

American Idol The Finale

Oprah was not the only show to end on May 25th. American Idol was going to pick the winner tonight. Country singer Lauren or County" I don't remember his name" guy. Either way a country singer was going to win.
I am not a fan of country music, so what would get me to watch this show. Three things.
1) What is J.Lo wearing?
2) The Musical Guests
3) Announce the winner in the first 5 min of the show, so I can watch something else.

Guaranteed the third is not going to happen. For number 1, it was a gold sparkle jumpsuit, that only Jennifer Lopez could pull off.
Now on with the Musical Guests! They always bring out the big performances for the final. Tonight was no exception.
Judas Priest playing with James the rocker guy who got voted a few weeks ago.
The ladies who didn't make to the final 2 doing a Beyonce greatest hits medley. Surprise guess who shows up on stage - Beyonce!
Tony Bennett with AI Hailey, then all the way from Celebrity Apprentice Little Jon and TLC, no idea why, but whatever.
Tim McGraw and the country guy. AI is moving these musical acts faster then the Grammys.
Wait now it is the Salsa King himself - Marc Anthony. J.Lo. is not one of the backup dancers, she is the dancer in a white dress that dances around him. What a couple.
Like the ladies,it was time for the men to sing a medley of Tom Jones songs, and guess who appears? Carlton from the Fresh Prince. No - Tom Jones.
Finally its time for Lady Gaga. FINALLY. She sings The Edge of Glory and it has a sax solo worthy of the Sexy Sax Man himself. If you have not see that yet, check my blog. This is my new song. I love it
AI winner Carrie Underwood sings with most likely this years winner, Lauren, proving that 2 people can sound identical. In a few months, they will look identical as well.
Not be out done by Gaga, Beyonce is back. She sang something dramatic and used her vocal range. Don't remember the name of the song, but at least it was live.
Lets save the best for last. Bono and The Edge performing a song from the Broadway show that nobody will see, Spiderman Turn off the Dark., Gaga and them were the main reason why I watched tonight. I can't wait to see them again in July. I loved it, of course.
Steven Tyler sings Dream On, pretty good way to end the show, oh wait we still have to see what country singer won.

THE COUNTRY GUY, are you f'ing kidding me.
Goodnight, I am going to listen The Edge of Glory again.

Goodbye Oprah.

First I would like to the thank the dozen or so people who asked me this week if I would be ok. Yes I will be fine. She has a whole network after all.
As it turns out, I had to have a plumber come to my condo at the exact same time as the Oprah Finale, so I was able to watch it live at 4pm. Oprah would say that my washing machine must have broke for that reason.
There was only one guest big enough to have on the last Oprah show - Oprah! Looking great in a pink dress she addressed the viewers with her words of wisdom from the last 25 years. I was hoping for a final book club selection, but no luck. I guess I will have to try and figure out want to pick for my summer read now.
It was a nice way to end the show, nothing to flashy or over the top. That was done on Monday and Tuesday.
At the end she gave out her email, a promised to write back. You so know I am going to send an email to see if I get a response.
Then she walked out throught that back of the studio, thanked and hugged her staff ,picked up her dog and that was it.
Done

THE OFFICIAL "SOMEDAY" FRAGRANCE/PERFUME BY JUSTIN BIEBER COMMERCIAL

Yes everyone, its true. Not only can you buy Bieber nail polish, ladies you can buy is perfume for "women" Has this gone a little too far? Maybe. I am just curious what it smells like.

Oprah's Last Week Show 2

Part two of the Oprah All Star Tribute. Within 5 minutes we saw Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Jada Smith, Michael Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Stevie Wonder, whew. All paying tribute to the O herself. I sort  of wished she had changed her dress for the 2nd part.  At least this is better then that out of control Over the Rainbow montage from yesterday's show.

Now Jerry Seinfeld is paying his tribute, in a tux no less. She seems surprised to see him, even thou he was sitting 10 feet from her.
Next  up Simon Cowell introducing Rosie O'Donnell and her Broadway song tribute, with Dr. Phil, Dr Oz, and Nate Burkas. Again Oprah is shocked to see these people. They were sitting in the audience for show, how shocked can she be?
Queen Latifah is back to introduce Oprah's best friend Gayle King and Maria Shriver. We learn that 64 688 kids went to school because of her. This was the first part of these shows that was more then just some song number. A proper way to show the power of O.
Maya Angelou and Alica Keys say a poem and sing a song. Oprah is still shocked.
She is even more shocked when Stedman comes on the stage. He talks about she brings her own lunch to work! Then he introduces The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin for her 20 +min rendition of Amazing Grace.
She stretched out words so long, you forgot what the word was to begin with.

The last surpised of the show - Usher. He sang, while Aretha was still finishing up her song from 20 min ago

Then that was it, only 1 show left.

Gaga eats paper

Watching this I was reminded of another famous performer that appeared on Letterman.  I am just glad the album is good, so when she startes eating paper at the 13 min mark I can forgive her.
