Fear Factor Live Season Premiere Recap 12-13: The Fear Is Back!

Fear Factor is back after a long hiatus from TV and it starts out with a BANG! The first stunt is an explosive mix where teams have to be airlifted by helicopter to a box. They open the wooden crate and pull a lever that sets a truck rolling toward a demolition sight. They have to jump on the back of the truck and open barrels to get flags out before the helicopter whisks them away before the explosion. Alex and Amanda start it off and they get 7 flags. Mateus and Monica are next and they get 6 flags. Anthony Sr. and Jr. take to the helicopter and it is straining with these guys…

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Review: Better Than Bond & Bourne

More than just a spy flick, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a hardcore espionage thriller. As a big fan of the Bourne series and not an avid reader upon which this film is based (by John le Carre), I was doubtful about whether I would like this film. Like the usual Bond and Bourne films of late, I thought I’d miss all the sultry long-legged women, crazy car chase scenes, and all the bombs and bullets blasting off. I was wrong. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy starts off in the dead of night where a failed British Intelligence mission goes terribly wrong in Bulgaria. It’s the height of the Cold War, and with such a huge…

Young Adult Review: Growing Old, but Not Growing Up

We all grow old whether we like or not. But not all of us have grown up. That’s the case in Young Adult which stars Charlize Theron as the very beautiful and the very bitchy Mavis Gray. Ms. Gray is a teen literature writer for the Waverly Prep young-adult fiction series. Having escaped the small town life she lived as a kid in Mercury, Minnesota, Mavis Gray now lives alone with her toy dog in the big city of Minneapolis. Her readership is dwindling, and with it possibly, her career. The story kicks into gear when she receives an email from her old high-school boyfriend Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson) announcing the birth of his child…

X Factor USA Results 12-08-2011: Who Are The Final Four?

The X Factor USA started out last night with Simon saying it was going to be a war zone but it ended up being just a watered down jabber fest with no real zingers. Marcus Canty took most of Simon’s wrath but it wasn’t very bad because Marcus really stepped up his game once again. Tonight, the final four will be announced with the bottom two in a sing off. Now Josh Krajcik may be in trouble this week as his dance number was not his best. Rachel Crow redeemed herself from last week and Melanie Amaro was great as usual. The stunner last night was Chris Rene doing an original song that blew everyone…
