Where’d you get that juice box and does it come in grapealicious?

Friday the 13th was sooo much fun! I’m so glad we got to see it in a packed theater because it made it that much more fun. The booming laughter, the clapping and cheering probably wouldn’t have happened in a less crowded place. This Jason actually scared me and that hasn’t happened since I was a kid. The old movies scared me when I was young, but as an adult, I was mostly just cheering him on as he bumped off the obnoxious teens and then the films just started being stupid and I stopped caring about them in any capacity. I liked seeing a little bit of a person in Jason this time. I also liked a few of the kids and was kinda hoping they might make it. There wasn’t as much sex and boobies as I’d anticipated, but there was certainly enough. My 2 favorite kills were the sleeping bag and truck and I actually cheered at the truck death because I was so freaking ready for that character to be gone. Padalecki did a great job and I’m not so sure he could have pulled it off a few years ago. I’ve never thought that he was a bad actor at all, but he’s really turned up the heat in his acting over the past few years on Supernatural and I think that helped him out a lot. I’m also glad that it’s another horror film, like MBV, that was made by horror movie fans for horror movie fans. I personally feel that they did a really fantastic job of paying tribute to the originals without tainting them. A definite thumbs up from me and I will most certainly go see it again.

In TV news, Psych was a freaking blast this week. It paid tribute to Friday the 13th and April Fool’s Day and I loved every minute of it.

TTSCC made me cry repeatedly. I still don’t really care for Lena Headey, but her moments with the doctor and with a certain someone I can’t really name for the sake of not spoiling those who haven’t seen it yet really got to me. Aside from her part of the story, the only other things that interested me in this episode were the stuff with John Henry (Garret Dillahunt rocks all!) and Shirley Manson’s scenes. Very interesting. Can someone please kill off that gross Jesse girl already? Pretty please? I can’t stand her.

BSG was awesome this week! I hate that this is the last season of the show.

I also watched the premiere of Dollhouse and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately for it, it’s in the timeslot of doom and will certainly be axed in no time. I love the cast and think it’s a nifty concept and would love to see how everything plays out, but I don’t think it’ll survive because it’s not one of those shows that will be embraced by the general public and it’s not quite culty enough to be like Angel or Buffy. Stinks too because I see some potential there.

Butchy Goodness!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Butch Walker yet, even though I’ve pimped him dozens of times over the years, I highly suggest you give him a listen. His acoustic sets are freaking amazing, so if you ever happen to have a chance to see him live, please do. You will not regret one single second of it. I promise.

Please note that the songs I’ve chosen are pretty much all ballads. He has some really great up-tempo stuff too, but I thought I’d make a play for your heartstrings and showcase these this go round. Now on to the music…

Stateline
This song always either makes me cry or brings me to the verge of tears. I’ve seen it bring an entire room full of people to tears including Butch himself. You can see for yourself how emotional he gets when he’s singing it.

Joan
This song makes me a little emotional as well. I blame this on him because he sings it with that raw emotion that he sings Stateline with.

Music of the day

I haven’t done a music/video post in a really long time, so today I thought I’d take it way back and give you a little awesomeness from Sarah Vaughan and Joe Williams. Happy listening.

If I Were a Bell – Sarah Vaughan and Joe Williams

Moonlight in Vermont – Sarah Vaughan

i’m still alright to smile

Patience by Guns N’ Roses

I still really love this song and think the video is just as awesome as it was way back when. Laugh if you will, but deep down, you know you all love it just as much as I do.

80′s Flashback

Some of my favorite songs/videos from the 80′s because everyone loves a little 80′s music every now and then. Behold the awesomeness!

Take on Me by A-Ha

On a happy note…

USA Network will be airing Christmas episodes of both Monk and Psych this Friday and I must say that I couldn’t be happier. Both shows are so much fun and never cease to put a smile on my face and that is something that I really need right now.
