Life (I) (2007–2009)

Meet Dr. Gregory House of Cop World!

[10/10 · 15 September 2007]

I promised myself not to get hooked on any new TV show this season as there were a handful of shows i loved last season that got cancelled...

well, so much for that.... i hated both CHUCK and BIONIC WOMAN pilots with utter disgust and yet these two are NBC's flagship banners this season... chances are, they both will survive over the shows that had more quality: LIFE and JOURNEYMAN finally. a cop drama that had substance in it. charlie crews stroke me as the DR HOUSE of the cop drama world.

his being not attuned to the technological advancements since being locked in, provides the comic relief of the show...

charlie crews' partner has an interesting storyline as well.

the pilot episode seems to be suited to how things are going on today.

it's an irony that a guy who hasn't been in touch with the world solved a mystery that includes the word "I.M" ( a little spoiler there)...

well, just a heads up for everybody. you should definitely check this show out. my wednesdays @ 9pm are locked in for this show.

PS: NBC, please don't pull a FOX on this one.

Hairspray (2007)

if there is one song that would describe the movie, it is YOU CANT STOP THE BEAT...

there is really no stopping the beats. we do not really get a break from the songs, rather the volume was turned really low and about 3, 5 minutes later, here comes the beats for the next song. talk about building up the momentum.

every dance and song number just makes you want to get up from your seats and dance. i personally liked WELCOME TO THE 60s, WITHOUT LOVE and of course YOU CANT STOP THE BEAT.

john travolta as EDNA is a delight. a line on the WELCOME to THE 60's goes something like wel-co-oh-oh-me is just reminiscent of one of the songs he performed on GREASE. even as dressed as a girl, you can still tell that he's the reigning musical actor of this generation.

of course, who can forget LINK's and CORNY's winks. props to zac efron for not letting troy bolton come across the screen.

amanda bynes and sea weed is grrreat! she is super funny! this is what the recent musicals should have been.

in a time of CGI effects and mind boggling plots, it's a relief that once in a while, a movie comes that you would just simply enjoy and makes you want to scream for joy! PS. please do wait for the curtain call as you would just feel the enthusiasm of the audience and how they enjoyed it. a couple of songs that weren't performed during the movie also play at the end.
