House Backlog

I know I have been missing out on my House dosage ever since the new episodes aired few weeks ago. I have been preoccupied with the GG mania. I will be making up on the missed episodes soon enough.

I know for sure though that the final two episodes will be great, as it usually is. Apparently, House got himself involved in some major vehicle collision. Amidst his own injuries and head trauma, he need to diagnose the fatal symptoms of another accident victim.

I miss the entire cast. I am also very amused with the tension between House, Wilson and Amber. I know it could only get better. Definitely a unique triangle.

 

Down to 3!

Now we are down to the Top 3.

Now it doesn’t matter to me who will be sent home as long as it is NOT any of the 2 Davids. Just a few comments on the Final Four:

• David Archuleta pulled a strong performance with his songs “Stand By Me” & “Love Me Tender”. He is the obvious Idol favorite so we shall see him through the finals. **crossing my fingers for the win**
• David Cook was back to his rock vibe with his rendition of “Hungry Like the Wolf”. Then his softer “Baba O’Riley” (I remember this song as the CSI Theme). But his position for the win is a bit shaky.
• Syesha Mercado sang the Tina Turner song “Proud Mary” then the song “A Change Is Gonna Come”. It will take a miracle to bring her to the Final Two.
• Jason Castro sang “I Shot The Sheriff” and then it was his turn to forget his lyrics with the Bob Dylan song “Mr Tambourine Man”. Hmm..his mistake was very obviouse. Tsk tsk…

Ange’s Twins

I know I haven’t posted anything Brangelina lately. So just want to make up for the lack of news by posting this latest tabloid cover of the heavily preggers Angelina Jolie.

Reports are surfacing that the twins that Ange is carrying are both girls!

But then again other news source are claiming that it will be a boy and a girl.

For me, as long as the babies are healthy and Ange will deliver them both safely, i’m ok. I’m so happy for this power couple. Wish them more health and happiness!

Sequel on the Works

“Iron Man” was pure gold at the box office. The Marvel Comics adaptation, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the guy in the metal suit, hauled in $100.7 million during its opening weekend and $104.2 million since debuting Thursday night, the second-best premiere ever for a nonsequel, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The film also scored overseas with $96.7 million in 57 countries where it began opening Wednesday, putting its worldwide total at $201 million.

It’s no wonder the movie struck gold because it is just that fabulous (read my previous post). Iron Man is also Marvel Studios first foray into financing their own films. The movie is so successful  since it’s opening that Marvel is already planning a sequel set for a April 30, 2010 release. Talk about fast.

I’m so happy that there will be a sequel coming. The movie was just that good. I can’t wait to see Robert Downey Jr don that metal suit again. Wonder how they will spin the story? Just have to wait and see.

IronMan: My Thoughts

I just watched the movie IronMan…one word: WoW!

I have been waiting for this movie since February. And I was completely blown away. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. It is as amazing as the trailers made it out to be. There was a lot of explosives, aerial dogfights, flying mishaps and more! You got to check it out. I have learned to be rather picky with the superhero movies I watch since there are those that are not worth bothering with (i.e. Superman with Brandon Routh, Incredible Hulk and others) while there are those that I absolutely loved with Iron Man being one on the top of my list.

A great reason why the movie is so entertaining for me is because Robert Downey Jr is cast as the playboy/billionaire and gadget whiz Tony Stark. He brought a great dose of personality to the role. Downey effectively portrayed the different facets of the character - morose, troubled, defiance - plus he was funny when he needed to be. I absolutely enjoyed the press conference at the end of the film. Must see. :)) I know that the movie wouldn’t be as engaging if the lead role was given to another actor.

Also, Most of the supporting cast was great. I actually like Terrence Howard character which acts as Stark’s antithesis, meanwhile Jeff Bridges was almost unrecognizable on this film by sporting a bald head and beard to portray the co-owner of Stark Industries. But I found Gwyneth Paltrow pretty but a little annoying as Stark’s assistant. Overall, the movie is worth the money and time spent.

If you want to see the trailer, you can check out an Iron Man preview on the Videos to Share widget on the right column of the screen. Just browse through the widget until you find it.

But preferably, visit your nearest movie theatres and see the movie for yourself! ^^ When you watch the movie, wait until after the credits - there is supposedly something there. I will watch the movie again (just because I want to) and make a mental note to NOT leave until after the credits. 

 

Formula One

I have been a Formula One fan for many years. The sport is very addicting and fun. Some people don’t get it when they get to watch it with me. They usually ask “what’s so great about it? the cars are just going round and round?”. ^^ I just look at them funny sometimes since it will be a waste of breath trying to get them to understand.

Words are not enough to justify my admiration for the sport. The sights, sounds and energy brought about this sport is amazing to watch and experience. The speed that these formula one cars can achieve is absolutely mind-blowing. The technology being used is in the forefront of it all. You’ve got to watch it to know what it’s like. I have yet to actually watch a Formula One race live. I’m hoping to catch the first ever Singapore Grand Prix this year on the last weekend of September. *crossing my fingers* It will be a dream come true when everything goes according to plan.

Specifically, I am a Ferrari and Michael Schumacher fan. I have been following the sport since the late 90’s until he retired. So naturally, I lost interest in the sport in the past season. He is arguably the best Formula One driver — also people either love him or hate him for various reasons. But he is “statistically the best Formula One driver”, according to wikipedia.

I came across the qualifying race on TV last weekend. And out of curiosity I wanted to know if Ferrari won. It was a pleasant surprise when Ferrari was 1-2 (meaning the two current Ferrari drivers, Raikkonen and Massa,  ended up winning the first and second places in the race standing, which translates to the reliability and outstanding performance of the Ferrari team that weekend). It feels like the old times when Schumacher was still driving for Ferrari. I will definitely check on the Formula One races from time to time to see how Ferrari is doing.

Additionally, I also read that Michael is the test driver for Ferrari which started in the just concluded Spanish Grand Prix. Methinks, He probably missed the life of a Formula One driver. But he is definitely an asset to the team especially now that he has chosen a more active role.

Want to read more on my idol? Check out Michael Schumacher’s page in wikipedia.

Also here’s an ESPNStar article wherein Schumacher was interviewed last weekend. He has shared some interesting insights about his current life and his love for speed.

Mimi Tied the Knot!

I was shocked when the news spread that diva Mariah Carey tied the knot in secret. She reportedly married actor/rapper Nick Cannon, her boyfriend of two months. I wasn’t even aware that they are dating. Mariah was spotted recently sporting a second hand engagement ring (the same ring that Cannon gave to his former fiancee, supermodel Selita) . The wedding reportedly took place in Carey’s Bahamas home.

What is most shocking is that there was no pre-nup!

If this is true, Mariah Carey stands to be the one with most to lose if this marriage didn’t work out. I’m talking of millions.
