Misfits is Bomb!!!



Okay now if ur a fan of heroes, lost, or the BBC's SKINS, then i suggest you get ur dumb American head out your ass, and you start watching Misfits on HULU now!!!!!, don't get left behind, while this show sweeps America by storm. this show across the pond has already scored the best drama BAFTA award, and has become a hit in the UK, so what the fuck is the show about? well. Misfits follows five early-20s delinquents on community service in Wertham (a fictional borough in London) who are caught outside during an electrical thunder storm and acquire special powers. Kelly (Lauren Socha) gains the ability to hear the thoughts of others, Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) can rewind time after experiencing an immense sense of regret, Alisha (Antonia Thomas) sends people into a sexual frenzy when they touch her skin, she is by far my fave misfit Simon (Iwan Rheon) can become invisible, and Nathan (Robert Sheehan) at first demonstrates no power. the show is fanasticly written, takes its time with the storyline, and the acting is believable and touching. 






British reviews have been very positive. The Times gave it four out of five stars, calling it "a new union — salty British street humour with whizz-bang special effects" which should "keep E4's core audience happy". An online review by The Guardian said that it was "confident enough to operate in its own universe and set up something new" and that it was aimed at showing us "real people" rather than the stereotype of the "ASBO teenager". The Guardian's print reviewer was also enthusiastic, saying: "Misfits is indeed silly — sillier, even, than it sounds — but it's also brilliant: sharp, funny, dark and, in places, quite chilling. Both the writing and the performances ensure that everything but the preposterous central premise remains entirely believable." The Daily Telegraph drew special attention to Howard Overman's script which, it said, "sparkled from the off, introducing his posse of social outcasts as a bunch of total losers, but each one distinctively and memorably so."
The Irish media have also been impressed with the show. The Evening Herald called the debut episode "dark, hilarious, exciting and beautifully produced". It went on to say that "the spark comes from Overman's razor-sharp script, yet a lot of the credit also has to go to the well-chosen young cast, who are uniformly superb."
In Australia, the Boxcutters television review was more laconic: "Misfits ... is filled with unattractive and very annoying characters and is essentially Skins meets Heroes. So why do we find it so strangely compelling?"

THE BOOTH AT THE END


OKAY, SOOOO IF YOU KNOW ME, THEN YOU KNOW I HYPE AWESOME SHIT UP, AND IF I HYPE IT, THAN I'M MORE OR SO LIKELY OBSESSED, SO MY NEW CRAZE IS THIS SHOW CALLED "THE BOOTH AT THE END" OKAY SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS SHOW IS GOING, BUT ITS FANTASTIC AND INTRIGUING TO WATCH. BASICALLY THIS CREEPY DUDE SITS AT A BOOTH IN A DINNER. HE HAS PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS. EXAMPLE: A GIRL WANTS TO BE PRETTY, AN OLD WOMAN WANTS HER OLD HUSBAND TO NOT BE CRAZY, A MAN WANTS TO SAVE HIS SON IN THE HOSPITAL, THE CATCH IS, TO GET WHAT THEY WANT, THEY HAVE TO PERFORM A TASK FOR THE "CREEPY MAN" I DON'T WANNA SPOIL IT ANY FURTHER, BUT ITS A PATIENCE DRIVEN SHOW FOR SURE, GIVE IT A SHOT IF YOU LOVED "LOST" OR "TWIN PEEKS" I HEART THIS SHOW, AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO.

I Can't Wait 4 SUPER 8


Now I'm Looking forward to this movie for a few things, first off the bat, Spielberg is kind of a Hollywood legend, so to have his production stamp of approval on this project by J.J. Abrams, who created my favorite ABC show "LOST" is kind of amazing. next off is Abrams himself, love the guy and i have been a fan since "Felicity"(not huffman), loved that show..... anyway, he just has a way with ideas and formula that intrigue me and keep me watching his projects. the cinematography of this film gives me a raging hard boner! sorry all you people that are getting a graphic visual, but seriously I'm a fan of film and the way this movie looks and feels, it is set in the late 70's looks like it belongs there, the lighting is on key and point. those of you that have no clue about the film it is Set in 1979 Ohio, a group of six young children use a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. but One night while filming near a remote stretch of railroad tracks, the children witness a truck collide with an oncoming train leading to a catastrophic derailment. Amidst the fire and destruction, something inhuman emerges. That's all I'm gonna spoil. i suggest you take a look at the trailer here or click this website *SUPER8* and school urself.


Abrams and Spielberg collaborated in a storytelling committee to come up with the story for the film. It was initially reported to be either a sequel, or a prequel to the 2008 film Cloverfield. However, Abrams quickly responded to those reports by stating, "You have to check the trailer, but it has nothing to do with Cloverfield". It is shot traditionally, and filming started in fall 2010. The teaser itself was filmed separately in April. This film is the first original J. J. Abrams film project Amblin EntertainmentBad Robot Productions, and Paramount Pictures will produce. Filming took place in Weirton, West Virginia, from September-October 2010.

LOST

  Lost
I remember the first day i watched Lost, it was December 24th 2005, and my Best friend Frankie Sanchez had got it for me as my christmas gift, I pondered for a minute, should i even bother? I mean its basically a new generation of Gilligan's Island. Right? "what the hell" i say as i pop in the first disc, now im fairly easy on film, in fact, im very generous in the attention i spend watching some shows, like Desperate Housewives, or Brothers & Sisters, both which i no longer let siphon my life away, what i'm trying to get to you is, in television i know what CHEESY is, and i know what good quality is, but if its good, its good, and i was not expecting this show to be that interesting, but the first thing that got me was the score, i mean not that many shows have an orchestra in general, let alone, playing in tune with the talents emotions, THAT was the first thing i noticed, the second, was the budget! this show could not have been cheap to make! they had a full airliner on a Hawaiian beach for gods sake! and the third thing, was the epic fantasy part of it, now i dont know anbout you, but im a geek for fantasy. i love it, i love creatures i love birth, death, love, conflict and in Lost we have hidden mysterious people, we have a dinosaur/smoke monster, we have a crazy, gun-baring french woman. It was perfect for my christmas alone, me and 24 episodes of awesome, overly dramatic antics, that honestly tell a great story. When it all ended, i was thoroughly satisfied, i made all my friends and co-workers watch it, i was ready for season 2.


 Season 2
Season two was a fun little dip into a fresh interesting way to tell a story that could eventually get stale and stiff, it starts off, only seconds after the finale of season one, they find a hatch burried in the ground they open it drop down inside only to find an irish bloke that is a bit cabin-crazy and oddly connected to the main characters Jack from the past. he has been in this hatch for the last 4 years pressing the numbers 4-8-15-16-23-42 every 108 minutes into a computer from the stone age. and injecting himself with an antidote to protect him from the jungle which has been quarantined off to him, these numbers also happen to be the numbers that one of the other main characters Hurley, (its pointless to explain the names, you wont remember them) used to win the lottery, but ever since he won,  he has only had bad luck. well anyway this guy from the hatch leaves on a boat to return about 23 episodes later, now that he has pawned his job of button pushing onto the new guys. yadda yadda yadda  time passes, the buttons are not pressed on the season finale, the hatch implodes, shannon gets shot, Michelle Rodriguez is a crazy power controlling cop, (real stretch for her) the season ends, I LOVED IT! ate it up like devils food cake. now this is about the time i was raving about this show, its great! it so twisted, and the thing i like about it is its somewhat interactive, everyone has they're own theory and idea as to Why these people are on the island, "They Are In Limbo" or "Its Purgatory" and "Its all a dream" whatever it is it has us guessing two years in. onto season 3.


 Season 3
This had to be the most agonizing season of them all, only because they start off with 8 weeks back to back, then went on a four month break! and filled those months in with "DAYBREAK!" this was around the time that "Lost" had dropped to new lows in ratings and they were going to either get cancelled or keep going with a determined ending in site, so they left us with a horrible cliffhanger, came back months later, like a babydaddy coming back for a bootycall,  all life had continued, and the show ceased to exist, until it returned and ruined my thursdays lol, i was hooked once more. damn you LOST! this season dipped into the life of the science projects known as the dharma initiative that had been on the island since the early 70's, this was my least favorite season, i just felt like my chain was being yanked, and although i did like the way, one of my favorite characters died, i felt like it was bullshit! lol but im still on bored for season 4, i mean how could i abandon this show now? so a woman named naomi parachutes onto the island, saying she is part of a rescue mission, when in fact she is NOT, she is sent by widmore a man who once in the 50"s lived on the island and is trying to..........you know what this is actually exhausting to talk about. lol the season ends with charlie finding out the boat headed to the island is not the boat they thought, he drowns, and the fun begins.


  LOST SEASON 4
This season flipped on ya with a different format, it shows you flash-forwards, instead of Flash-backs, and the flash forwards, slowly reveal that only SIX castaways made it off the island, its kind of a reverse fiction version of "SURVIVOR" so throughout the season you are figuring out who got off and who stayed. i liked the new format, it made the show fresh, and interesting, i was into it big time, the also introduce four new characters. Miles, a redhead, Daniel Faraday, and Frank the pilot. the six that leave, go back to Los Angeles, and lie about the island saying they are the only survivors on the island, and on top of that, the island moves and vanishes into thin air, leaving the other castaways in a weird in-between. That is how the season ends.


 LOST SEASON 5
this season, happens to currently still be my favorite, i loved season 2, and 4 was cool, but five introduces, TIME TRAVEL! yes time travel, when the castaways that were still on the island vanished with the island, they were thrown off course, having the island skip through different time periods, so they gradually find out answers, the island finally gets reset, and the island stops in 1970, forcing the castaways to join the dharma initiative, and lead the grooviest life they have ever grooved, or lived. the six get on a plan and find a loop hole back to the island, because it is DESTINY that they return. but the time change complicates things, love triangles have shifted, and a whole new world of crazy is revealed. the main focus in this season, is the hatch from season two, was actually the reason the airplane crashed, due to an overload of elctro magnetism if thus numbers are not pressed at the right time the magnetism pulls things in, the hatch did not implode the day they're plane crashed because there is an override key that is a  last result in  times of the buttons not being pressed within the 108 minutes timeframe. so anyway, back to the plot of season five, the theory is, blow up the hatch in 1970 and the hatch in 2004 with never have been created, thus the hatch and the computer can never pull the airplane down to the island. and they do so but telling them to bury a bomb in 1950 so that in 1970 they can use the bomb to blow it up. the plan goes fine only the bomb doesn't go off in the construction site, juliet, one of my favorite characters, falls down the hole where the bomb is, and strikes the bomb, it explodes and BOOM season 5 ends. awesome cliff-hanger.
