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.

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.

"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.

Grey's Anatomy May 12, 2011 Recap

Christina Yang cutting Owen Hunt off is great!

It's interesting that Meredith Grey just expects Alex Karev not to say anything. On one hand I understand that she would expect him as a friend to keep his mouth shut. On the other hand as a friend she shouldn't put him in that position. She's asking a lot of him. It would put his license on the line if anyone found out he knew and didn't say anything, and he was all ready in that LVAD mess with Izzie.
