Daytime Emmy Nominations And Awards 2011

Well with everything going on in the soap world this should be interesting.

This is the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. All My Children and One Life to Live have been on TV longer than the awards. Just something I noticed. The event is at the Las Vegas Hilton. The host is Wayne Brady. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before. He seems to have a connection with his mother. Maybe I'll Google him later, but so far I'm not impressed.  I may not waste my time.

The Long Kiss Goodnight - The Movie

What a great movie! This is an action adventure movie. Geena Davis plays a woman who has amnesia, she wakes up two months pregnant. The movie starts some 7 or 8 years later.

She starts getting pieces of her memory back and she is recognized on TV by people from her past that have scores to settle. Turns out the PTA mom she is now, is nothing like who she was before.

After The Catch Johnathan Hillstrand Fight With Neese

For those of you who seen the picture of Captain Johnathan's black eye, yes the rumors are flying. For those of you who didn't here's a picture of Johnathan Hillstrand with his new tiki cut and black eye.

They did a pretty good job of hiding his shiner on After The Catch I just thought he had a puffy eye.

True Grit - The Movie

This was the 2010 remake of True Grit. The story is good. It's been around along time.

Jeff Bridges plays Rooster Cogburn, Hailee Steinfeld play Mattie Ross the little girl. Josh Brolin is the bad guy and Matt Damon is the Texas Ranger that assists them.

All My Children Stars Return To The Show

Oh my gosh! It's so exciting.

This was just released. You know I don't like spoilers, but this was just too good to hold in, and it's more cast returns than it is spoiler. I left out how they return. hehe  So if you don't want to know who is returning, don't read on. My guess is like me, you'll look.

Stone - The Movie

Another psychological thriller. One of my favorite genre's.

Edward Norton is in prison for arson. His grandparents house, with them in it. Robert DeNiro is his parole officer who needs to make a recommendation for a parole hearing. Milla Jovovich plays Norton's wife. She sets to work on DeNiro to try and convince him to help her husband get out of prison.

From Paris With Love - The Movie

 From Paris With Love is an espionage thriller.

An inexperienced intelligence agent at the American Embassy gets teamed up with a high ranking intelligence agent to stop a terrorist attack.

Deadliest Catch After The Catch Hawaii 2011

After The Catch has moved from New Orleans to Oahu, Hawaii. I wish I was there!

The boys are at a place called The Shack.

Well I'm excited to see what we'll learn from the Captains after everything that has went on so far this season.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 10 Recap Frontier Medicine

"Frontier Medicine"

Opie Season continues amidst the Artic hurricane. It's ugly out.

The Northwestern gets hits with a thirty five foot wave that nearly shattered the front window of the wheelhouse. Captain Sig Hansen decides to quit fishing since he can't control what he wants the boat to do.

Reservoir Dogs - The Movie

A crime thriller mob movie. This was Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut.

This movie was about a group of gangsters that tried to rob a jewelry store. The robbery went bad.

Zombieland - The Movie

Zombieland is a horror movie with comedy.  This movie is rated R. The language could be offensive to some. Then there is the gore factor, which is to be expected in a horror flick, but the gore wasn't too bad.

If I remember correctly this was recommended to me by my son.

The movie starts out with a list of rules on how to survive in Zombieland. Then Woody Harrelson arrives in a black SUV looking vehicle with the number 3 painted on the side. Woo Hoo! 

Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand and Sig Hansen On Rachel Ray

OMG too funny the boys went on Rachel Ray. I almost missed it, because I don't usually watch Rachel Ray. My mom does though, she emailed me to let me know they were on. Of course I got the email too late, I thought.

Finally something good out of the Casey Anthony Trial. Since all of the local networks have been airing the trial all day Rachel Ray didn't air until 2am so I was able to watch it. Yea!!!!

Public Enemies - The Movie

Public Enemies was a pretty good movie.

It is set during the depression. A story about the gangsters of the day, but mostly about John Dillinger, with a little bit of Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson and J. Edgar Hoover thrown in. It also tells about John Dillinger's girl friend, so a little bit of a love story.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 9 Recap Sea Change

"Sea Change"

The sea is certainly changing. We've got crew changes and sea changes with the hurricane coming.

Here we go. Opie season begins. We have a new song at the beginning, and clips of the crews at the bar, the crew, saying hello or good bye to their family. More clips of Captain Keith putting hands on someone pushing him down the hallway, looks like he's ready to punch him, maybe Art Peterson or possibly Monty Colburn, hard to say from the short clip. Lenny Lekanoff getting stitches. Someone getting smacked in the face with the crane hook, Sig Hansen is screaming at the crew to get down as a big wave crashes aboard the Northwestern. A clip of Mike Fourtner with blood coming from his the bridge of his nose. He must be the one that got hit with the crane hook. Then a clip of  Freddie Maughtai with blood all over his face and in his mouth. Knowing Freddie he was probably eating something and got the blood all over himself.

Dale Pruitt New Deckhand - Cornelia Marie - Deadliest Catch

He may be a new deckhand, but he is definitely not a greenhorn. Dale Pruitt has been fishing since he was 14 years old on several different varieties of  boats. He has known Tony Lara for twenty years.

Dale Puritt and some of his family members (son, daughter and a niece) survived a shipwreck aboard a salmon boat in 2007, the F/V Magnum.

Troy Huls "Chief" - Engineer On Cornelia Marie

Troy Huls or "Chief" is one of the new engineer/deckhands aboard the Cornelia Marie.

Troy knew Tony Lara when Tony was Captain Phil Harris' engineer. He has fished since 1986, wow, that's twenty-five years. Troy says he doesn't like fish or crab and doesn't eat it. I think I would feel the same way too if I was on a fishing boat all the time.

Matt Bradley Northwestern Is He High Or Just A Horn Dog?

It sounds like this separation is getting UGLY! As they unfortunately often do. It is such a shame especially with kids involved. Does no one stay married anymore? I don't understand why people don't work harder on their marriages. If you make the commitment you should be all in, not up and leave at the first opportunity.

My oh my. I think Angela hit the anger stage of grief today. Boy did she let her rip. Who can blame her?

Deadliest Catch - After The Catch In Hawaii And Other Updates

The Captains are in Hawaii, well some of them anyway. I just saw a notice from Discovery that they are filming After The Catch in Hawaii. There was a short clip with Keith Colburn, Sig Hansen, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand. No words just them in a little boat. The caption also said they think Jake Harris, Josh Harris, Derrick Ray and Tony Lara are coming as well.  YouTube Video There was no mention of Wild Bill, Scott Campbell, or Elliot Neese. So I don't know about them. Hummm.

The Young & The Restless A Teaser About The Cane Caleb Storyline

Well we've all been trying to figure out if it's Cane or Caleb alive. After Friday's show I'm still leaning towards Caleb. I would prefer the sweeter Cane of course, but as long as Daniel Goddard is still there. I'm good.

I found this video this afternoon and thought I would share it with you. It is a promo of scenes that are coming up for The Young & The Restless. OMG This looks like its going to be good.

Jack Kevorkian Died

At age 83, Jack Kevorkian died on June 3, 2011 at a Royal Oak Hospital in Michigan. Jack had been in the hospital for pneumonia and a related kidney ailment.

Jack Kevorkian as most of you probably know was an advocate for assisted suicide. He was suspected of assisting in at least 130 suicides in the '90's. He spent 1999-2007 in prison for his supposed crimes.

Monkey Shines - Awesome Movie

This was an awesome movie. It is classified as a horror movie, dark, suspenseful and scary.  It starts off with Jason Beghe exercising in the nude. Excellent start.

This movie was filmed in 1988. I can't believe I had never heard of it. A great recommendation from a Twitter friend.

ABC Has Done It Again! | Katie Couric's New Show

No, I don't mean they have come up with an awesome new show, or that they had a change of heart and decided to Save Our Soaps.

It feels like ABC just keeps sucker punching us dead square in the face and saying take this! Well I'll tell you what. I am so close to done I almost can't see out these black and blue eyes ABC keeps giving me.

Big Brother 13 Casting News

Well they evidently finally finished the casting calls. Evil Dick tweeted on May 30th that this is the week all the house guests get sequestered. Still no news on who is in the cast yet.  As soon as the information is out, I'll post it. I wish they would hurry up already, I'm ready for the shows to start!

With about everything else being in reruns there's nothing on. Big Brother 13 After Dark would give me three hours a day of something to watch. Yea!

Is It Cane Or Caleb? The Young And The Restless

OMG! It's Cane! It's Caleb! No it's Cane, No it's Caleb.

I'm so confused. Will we ever know for sure?

First Cane is shot on the steps. So we think Cane is dead and it's Caleb the evil twin alive.

Then we are lead to believe that Caleb died on the steps and Cane is alive.

Matt Bradley On Northwestern - What Is He Addicted To?

After Tuesday's episode of Deadliest Catch. I was looking at what people were searching regarding the show.

I was rather surprised to see that people were searching "What drug is Matt Bradley addicted to" and What is Edgar Hansen addicted to". People this is a little twisted I think. Why aren't people searching is Matt Bradley okay, or is he sober? The same thing happened with Jake Harris. Maybe it's me but this just seems odd. I mean the curiosity of what drug he is taking, I don't really get that. I mean to me a drug is a drug. Does it really matter which one he likes? Please someone explain to me the curiosity of why people want to know what drug. What am I missing?

While I don't get it, because so many of you were looking I set out to see what I could find and I still almost didn't post the information, because it is very disturbing. But I finally decided that the information I found was posted on public forums, so they had to know it was going to get circulated and discussed. So here goes.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 8 Recap Graduation Day

"Graduation Day"

We start out with the Seabrooke. The seas look awfully calm from the aerial view. What beautiful shots. 

A 1200 hundred mile wide Arctic Hurricane is headed for the Blue Crab grounds and in 19 hours will cover the Red Crab grounds. Well I guess the shots above where the calm before the storm.

No Way Out - The Movie

Finally a really good movie. I realized half way through, I had already seen it. Good grief!

This is about a navy officer played by Kevin Costner. Bonus there already. hehe He meets a woman falls in love, and then finds out, she's his new boss' mistress. Then the drama begins.

Cancelled Shows | Network Cancellations Continue

Over the last year the networks have been canceling some really good shows. At the rate they are going there are going to be no scripted shows left. What are they thinking?

The following is a list of just the TV shows I watch that have been cancelled over the last year or so. This isn't even all of the cancellations mind you, just the ones I watched, that I can think of right now.

Master of Horrors: Stuart Gordon: The Black Cat

This movie is about Edgar Allan Poe who is suffering from a severe case of writers block. He has an ill wife and an evil black cat named Pluto. 

It's a short show only 58 minutes. It looks like Master of Horrors was a Showtime series and this was one of the stories. I don't know. I never heard of Master of Horrors, will have to check that out.

The Stand - The Movie

I love Stephen King, but I just couldn't get into this movie after two hours. I certainly wasn't going to sit through it for four more hours.

The movie is about a lethal virus that gets into the general population, leaving only a few survivors. My kind of flick, but this just wasn't doing it for me.

Some good actors. Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Jamie Sheridan and Gary Sinise.

This one got a two star.

James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas - The Movie

A made for television movie, about a book editor played by Kathleen Rose Perkins who falls in love with one of her writers. The writer played by Johnathon Schaech gives her his late wife's journal. The late wife is played by Christina Applegate.

Very touching love story. I managed to watch it without crying, but I did find myself getting goosebumps on a couple of occasions.

Russian King Crab Stolen - Deadliest Catch

This really doesn't have to do with Deadliest Catch, but it is about Russian King Crab and I found it interesting. So I thought I would share.

I just read an article about that a trucker who went to Los Angeles and picked up 25,000 pounds of Russian King Crab worth $400,000 for delivery in Seattle on Monday. Then he just disappeared.

Jeff Conaway Has Died - So Sad

Well I waited to post anything until I heard from Dr. Drew, since people have been posting Jeff Conaway died for the last two weeks. I didn't want it to be true, but Dr. Drew says it is, so I guess I'll have to believe it.

It looks like from the report's Jeff was taken off of the ventilator Thursday and succumbed to his illness on Friday. I don't know how reliable that information is, except that it does appear he died Friday.

Is Jeff Conaway Dead or Alive?

Who knows? It's hard to say, who do you believe? There have been so many stories out there I'm not sure what to believe.

On May 18th, reports started emerging that Jeff Conaway was in the hospital in a coma from an apparent drug over dose.

May 20th, Dr. Drew tweeted that Jeff Conaway did not have a drug overdose he had pneumonia and sepsis and was expected to recover. He also said he was in a medically induced coma.

All this I shared with you when I found out.

On Thursday May 26th, I guess it is Friday now, so yesterday. TV Guide reported that Radar Online had reported that Jeff Conaway may be taken off of life support later in the day, that the feeding tube had been removed and that he had been brain dead since he was brought into the hospital.

Deadliest Catch and NASCAR Collide

Captain Andy will be at the NASCAR Charlotte Coca-Cola 600 this weekend.

So for all you Nascar fans that also love Deadliest Catch, stop by and visit Captain Andy. He will be hanging with the Jim Beam guys.

The last time I spoke with Captain Andy about this he was unsure if Captain Johnathan would attend or not. I'm still waiting to hear from Johnathan.

The Young and The Restless Was So Good Today

OMG What a show today! and it isn't even Friday.

Someone please smack Phyllis Newman she is making me crazy with all this. Taking Lucy from Billy Abbott and Victoria Newman Abbott won't make up for what you did to Daniel Romalotti. Whatever that was I didn't watch when Phyllis had Daniel.

If they could get Daisy to sign her rights away, that would solve a lot of problems for Daniel, Victoria and Billy. But it's so risky, because Daisy is psycho.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 7 Recap Thick As Thieves

"Thick As Thieves"

Well this week was a very interesting and frustrating episode.  I am a person that tries to look at both sides of a situation, and this episode had my head going like a ping pong ball.

We start off with a clip of Freddie Maughtai saying this boat will never be the same, and the policeman is approaching the Cornelia Marie.

The Cornelia Marie is headed back into town. Captain Derrick Ray says he tried to bring a different culture to the boat, but they don't want things to change, they want things the way they were. Well yeah, I don't think they asked you to change the boat, they asked you to Captain the boat. Derrick says he knows there is dope on this boat, he just can't prove it. No there's not they smoked it all. Derrick says its zero tolerance with drugs, the coast guard could take the boat and keep it; they don't even have to give it back with a fine if they don't want too. He says he could lose his license he could go to jail over this. I don't believe that is an entirely true statement. I'll elaborate more after the episode. 

Cane's Evil Twin - The Young And The Restless

I'm really having mixed emotions about Cane Ashby having an evil twin. On one hand it's great because that means Daniel Goddard still has a job. On the other hand the evil twins usually get killed off. I sure hope they find some way to rehabilitate this evil twin into a good guy once this storyline is over so Daniel Goddard can stay.

The Nurse - The Movie

The Nurse played by Lisa Zane is a psychological thriller.

Her father is caught embezzling and his solution is to kill his wife, son and then himself.  But the nurse blames the informant, who guess what now needs a nurse. It's the perfect opportunity for revenge.

Not a real original storyline, but somewhat entertaining none the less.

I'll give this one three stars.


Copyright © 2011 Virtualpatti. All Rights Reserved.

Blood Work - The Movie

In this movie titled "Blood Work" Clint Eastwood plays a retired FBI agent - Terry McCaleb who is recovering from a heart transplant. The heart donor who was murdered has a sister who figures out that Terry received her sisters heart and contacts him to find out who murdered her.

Terry agrees, and the quest begins. Its a pretty interesting story line. I gave this one a three star also.


Copyright © 2011 Virtualpatti. All Rights Reserved.

The Associate - The Movie

This comedy stars Whoopi Goldberg, Diane Wiest and Tim Daly.  It's about a women trying to make it on Wall Street amongst all the men. This was a very entertaining movie, but of course with a cast like this its hard to go wrong. Gotta love Whoopi!

I give this one three and a half stars.


Copyright © 2011 Virtualpatti. All Rights Reserved.

The New Daughter - The Movie

The New Daughter is a supernatural thriller. It's about a man whose wife runs off with another man and leaves him with the two kids. Kevin Costner plays the dad in this movie.

The movie stars: Kevin Costner, Samantha Mathis, Ivana Baquero and Gattlin Griffith

Kevin Costner is a writer so he works from home. He moves the kids to a new house in South Carolina and guess what? It has a haunted mound in the back yard. The daughter becomes possessed and the father is on a mission to save her.

I didn't like way the movie ended.

I give this one a three star.


Copyright © 2011 Virtualpatti. All Rights Reserved.

The Core - The Movie

The end of the world is near. This flick seemed appropriate to watch with the rapture and all yesterday that never happened. Or maybe it did happen and I got left behind. In either case I've decided to have a movie-thon today and see if I can clean out some of my Netflix queue.

The Core is an end of the world disaster type of movie. Usually my kind of movie. I like Deadly Disaster movies.

This one stars Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, Stanley Tucci, Bruce Greenwood, Delroy Lindo, DJ Qualls, Richard Jenkins, Alfre Woodard, and Tcheky Karyo. 

Private Practice Season Finale May 19 2011

Wow What an ending!

But wait! First Addison Montgomery is seeing a shrink. I guess after everything she has been through lately that's probably a good idea.

Now Addison is at the grocery store. Enter Benjamin Bratt. I like him better clean shaven. She's making change. She asks him about her pineapples. Oh Geez!

Naomi Bennett and Betsy discuss Gabriel Fife. Betsy likes him.

Jeff Conaway To Recover - Not A Drug Overdose

I'm so happy. Dr. Drew just tweeted he visited Jeff Conaway and he is doing better. He is stable and recovering from pneumonia, not a drug overdose as all the news people reported. I sure am so glad I saw that tweet!

I really hope Jeff gets well soon. He certainly has had a time of it lately. I'm so glad to hear it wasn't a drug overdose as the press initially reported.

I also have to wonder how many of them will make the correction as I am doing. I'll bet it won't be as many as reported he was in a coma from a drug overdose.

Update 05/21/2011 Someone asked Dr. Drew Why Jeff Conaway's manager is giving all the reports he is in a coma. Dr. Drew responded. He is in a medically induced coma. He is actually on a Propafol drip. Someone else asked if that meant he was on a vent? Dr. Drew  responded "Right. Pneumonia with Sepsis. No evidence of intentional OD".

I sure hope Jeff can recover from this.

Grey's Anatomy May 19 2011 Season Finale

Finally we get to see who is named Chief Resident.

It looks like Meredith and Derricks house on the mountain top is coming along.

Owen Hunt is going to tell Derrick Sheppard about Meredith Grey tampering with the clinical trial.

Jeff Conaway In A Coma

This makes me so sad and mad. Most of you probably will recognize Jeff Conaway from his performances in Taxi and Grease. He is now 60 years old and was found unconscious on May 1. He is in a coma from an apparent drug overdose. He is in an Encino hospital in critical condition. 

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 6 Recap

"Exit Wounds"

What the heck the show cut off early had to record it twice to get the ending of the show.

When we left off last week Lynn Guitard had fallen asleep at the wheel of the Wizard. We start this week with Lynn sleeping and Captain Keith waking him up. He yells at him for a little bit and then says "I've been there". Wow I don't know what I was expecting, but I was expecting so much more than that. Captain Keith didn't even hardly yell at him. Must be because he hadn't had coffee yet.  I mean did the boat roll and Captain Keith get thrown out of bed? What woke him up? Was it just time for Captain Keith's watch again? Just expecting something more there. 

Black Swan - The Movie

This is a movie about a ballerina gone wrong.

It reminds me somewhat of the movie Show Girls, which I really liked. Maybe its the dancer/competitor in me that enjoys the competition in these movies. In this movie the dancers compete for the lead position in Swan Lake in a New York City Ballet. The difference between this movie and Show Girls is the dancers in this movie are in ballerina leotards instead of half naked.

Private Practice Season 4 Episode 21 May 12, 2011

"God Bless the Child"

Oh my Sam is looking good! Doing push ups! Hottttt!!

Oh! Gabriel and Naomi slept together. Well at least they are both single, I guess that's okay.

This is going to be an interesting story line with Patti. She tries to get an abortion and can't because of protesters, so she goes and gets a back alley abortion that is botched. Go figure. And to top it off she is still pregnant. ?? Addison tells her when you have the abortion done early sometimes the doctor can miss the embryonic tissue. That's probably not a good thing to be putting out there. Naomi says the stats on this happening are negligible.
