Glee - Makeover

It's "GLEE-lection" time!!! That's right, this episode focuses on the election for senior class president. First off we see Blaine singing 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and signing up for just about every club at that school. Then he decides to run for president against Brittany. Sam ends up running with Blaine and Artie runs with Brittany for the VP slot. Sam get a makeover because he really could care less about being VP and Brittany gets a makeover because everyone thinks she's just going to say something stupid and that's the only reason why they care about the election. And then when the debate comes, Brittany basically sabotages herself by trying to outlaw summer and weekends!! So, of course, Blaine wins but he's not happy about it because he did it all for Kurt who is so wrapped up in his new job that he won't even answer Blaine's call. But Sam comes to the rescue (again) and cheers Blaine up. Also, we see Sam crushing on Brittany. First he gets mad she didn't pick him as her VP, then he votes for her, and then they have that oh so cute scene at the end. Yeah, he definitely likes her. 
Also at WMHS, Will is totally bored out of his mind and doesn't know why. Sue tells him that now he reached his goal of the glee club winning nationals that he needs to move on from all of it. And he takes her advice and applies for some government type blue ribbon job. The real issue here is that he will be LEAVING for a few months!! So what's going to happen to the glee club if he gets the job?? Will they get a new teacher? Will it cease to exist? Maybe Gwyneth Paltrow will take over for a little while again? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. 
Over in New York Kurt is blossoming at his internship at Vogue.com and Rachel is stuck in a rut because her clothes are ugly and gets made fun of because of it. So Kurt decides to give her a makeover and takes her to his job, but they get caught by his boss (Sarah Jessica Parker). But she loves the idea that Kurt has of making the whole thing a video so they stay and Rachel FINALLY gets some new clothes. Now she actually looks like an 18 adult and not some little kid. And, of course, Brody likes it. They sing and flirt and almost kiss some more and then Rachel invites him over to her place for dinner and that's when things get hot and heavy (kinda literally). First, Rachel burns the food (hot), then she and Brody finally share a kiss that turns into a mini make out session that gets interrupted by a knock at the door. Rachel thinks it's Kurt but to her ( and all of our) surprise it's FINN!! Out of nowhere comes Finn, back from the Army. We don't know why he's back but he is and he catches Rachel. But, she's not really cheating so ...?? 
We finally see some drama this week and there's only so much more to come. The preview for next week looks like everyone that's in a relationship won't be anymore. I predict a lot of yelling and a lot of tears. I can't wait for next week!! This show is finally picking up and getting good and I'm happy because I was really beginning to worry. Until next week!

Switched at Birth - Tree of Forgiveness

So this episode started off with John's shop getting tagged again, this time it's not by Bay. John makes it very clear that he doesn't like it and this time he gets into a huge argument with Bay about it. She thinks it's art, he doesn't. She makes a point and he says it's the stupidest thing he ever heard. How rude!! Doesn't he realize that his daughter like art?! I guess not. Meanwhile back at the house, Angelo is trying to get to know Daphne more, but she won't let him, until he nails his own hand and she is the only one there to take him to the doctors. They finally have a serious conversation there and Angelo tries to get her to move on. She finally gets it and it's about time. This guy is living in the same house as him. It was only a matter of time until they would be alone together. I'm just happy that Daphne is starting to move on. You can only be mad at a person for so long. 
Toby finally gets back to his music in this episode thanks to his mom. She basically tricks him into playing a gig at their old church, but she gets played because he doesn't want to do and refused to and he tells her the truth about why he and Simone broke up. Then she ends up singing and that's the only thing that gets him to play. I never knew she could sing, if that was really her. (Sorry, I have to be skeptical of everything. You never know.) Toby also meets a nice girl there. Do I see a relationship coming on??  
One of the big shockers of the episode was when Bay told her dad that she tagged his shop and also tagged other places. I didn't know what he was going to do but I wasn't expecting to do nothing. She basically poured her soul out to him and all he could say was that he doesn't know her anymore. I guess we'll see more of that situation next week, hopefully. 
Bay also talks to Emmett and they're actually quit civil towards each other. But she assumes that he like this Robyn girl he just met and let's the be to bond over motorcycles. 
Regina had an important conversation with Simone about life and drinking when she caught her buying alcohol. That's another new relationship we see form in this episode. I just wonder if Regina will end up being her sponger. That would be really interesting, especially when the kids find out. 
The last interesting thing that happened in this episode was the conversation Angelo and Regina had. He tries to get her to move on as well and just like Daphne she does and they have a little cute moment because they both have wraps on their hands. That was so cute, and I can't help but wonder if their fake marriage will turn in to a real one. We'll see. *fingers crossed*

Glee - Britney 2.0

"It's Britney b!tch!" That's right, another episode full of Britney Spears songs. It all started when Britney gets kicked off the Cheerios for poor grades and misses Santana so much that she hits rock bottom and keeps going down. She gets so depressed that she lip-syncs, beats up J.B.I. with an umbrella and almost shaves her head! But thank God for Sam who is the only one that understands and comes to her rescue, which is very interesting. I couldn't help but think if there is a new relationship sparking there. In the end she finally gets herself together, gets back on the Cheerios, and gets a C on her test!! It looks like she might actually graduate this year.
Also, Marly is seriously crushing on Jake, and it seemed like he really liked her too. He sang with her, gave her his jacket and stood up for her and her mom. But, somehow Kitty swoops in to ruin the day by announcing that she and Jake are together! Where did that come from?! I'm pretty sure this is just her way to take down the New Directions. And what is Kitty's deal. Something's up with her. I need to see more of her story so I can try to understand why she's such a mean girl. Jake finally joins the New Directions and who knew that all it took was a meeting with Puck!! I wasn't expecting their first meeting to be like that, but I'm glad Puck got through to Jake. I really hope that Marly and Jake don't become the new Rachel and Finn. I see some similarities with the whole girl crushing on guy that's dating the cheerleader thing.
Meanwhile in New York, Rachel and Kurt move in to an apartment together. Rachel is also having problems with her dance teacher, Cassandra, (again). Now Cassandra doesn't think that Rachel is sexy, which I can totally see. So who does Rachel turn to for help, the oh so sexy Brody. They do a very sexy dance to 'Oops I Did It Again.' But, Rachel's plan doesn't really work so she goes off on Cassandra and gets kicked out of class! In the end she apologizes and she's allowed to practice the tango and embrace her new sexy. Now let's talk about the most explosive part of this storyline. Brody confesses his like for Rachel and tries to kiss her!! But, she denies the kiss!! Obviously because of Finn, but in the end we see her paint over his name in hearts on her wall. This makes me think that she will finally get together with Brody. I just want to know more about Brody. We don't really know much of anything about him. And he's junior ... why is he so interested in a freshman? I hope we find out more about him as the season unfolds.
Overall, this was a good episode. I liked the song they chose, took me down memory lane a little bit. I don't think it was better than the first Britney episode, but it was good and I enjoyed it.

Switched at Birth - The Shock of Being Seen

I must say that this episode was a real shocker. Let's start at the beginning. 
So Bay is trying to show off her Vasquez side by trying to get in with these "taggers" (if that's the appropriate word). I guess it's nice that she's trying to hang out with people that have the same interests as her but it's not okay because it is illegal and she could get arrested again. We'll see how this goes. 
Life for Angelo is super awkward now, and John seems so jealous of him being there, especially when Angelo offers to help Bay with her school work. And that whole "that's what dads are for line" was a hit to his pride. 
I'm not surprised that Bay used Angelo to get out and I'm not surprised that he let her do it. I'm glad John knocked some sense into him. The one thing that shocked me with Bay's storyline is that she tagged her own dad's shop!! I mean, that takes some balls, and it must have really sucked to have to paint over your own work. But, she got a picture and she's in with the tagger now. And let's not forget how rude and stereotypical John was with the whole thing. That mad me so angry, but we can talk about that later. 
Now on to Daphne. She really tried to find her inner sexy in this episode. But, she is in high school and Jeff is  a college graduate and that's illegal. She needs to just find out the age of that nice guy that was helping her and try to get with him or someone that's actually in high school, because she can't keep embarrassing herself like she did with Jeff. And I find it so funny how she asked Emmett if he sees her as a nerd because he definitely liked her but she couldn't see it so she lost her chance, and she'll probably never take a chance with him now that he's a cheater. 
On to Regina and Kathryn. I think it's nice that they are attempting to hangout and be friends but Kathryn was a little jealous in this episode, too. And I think it's pretty explosive that Angelo had something going on with that nurse. I wonder what that was about, and I hope that by Kathryn telling her lawyer about it, it won't hurt Angelo. I actually like him and I think he needs to get to know Bay more and become a real father. 
Oh, and let's not forget the end when Jeff was leaving Melody's house!!! Doesn't that make him kind of a hypocrite?? I just wonder what will happen when Daphne and Emmett find out.

Okay, I'm just gonna go on a little rant about John right now. He's kind of a jerk and getting on my bad side. Some of the things he says to Bay is just not okay. That line when he said something along the lines of "your art's great but when you actually apply yourself you can be somebody" (or something like that), that was rude and I could tell Bay didn't lie it much either. Doesn't he know that art is her passion?! Does he not think that she can make it in life as an artist? It seems to me that he doesn't appreciate her art and that's not okay with me and it won't be okay with Bay either. That's my piece, I'm done. 

Overall, this episode was a shocker and hopefully the ones that follow will be just as or more explosive than this one. Until next week!

Glee - The New Rachel

Where do I begin?? Let me start by saying how happy I am that Glee is finally back on!! The wait was too long and now it's finally over!! I must say that I was very skeptical of what the show was going to  be like after graduation. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Let's start with the graduates we saw in this episode; Rachel and Kurt.
So Rachel finally gets kicked off her high horse and someone actually tells her that she sucks. Although that was pretty rude and discouraging it was needed. Rachel has been on top for too long and it's about time she got a taste of the bottom. And Kate Hudson's character is very interesting and I can't help but wonder if they will dwell on her whole alcohol drinking situation. I actually feel bad for Rachel now. I mean, she's in a new town that she thought she was gonna rock and it's miserable for her. I feel her pain. Freshman year sucks. Period. But, thankfully she found a friend (a hot guy) to pull her out of her misery and knock some sense into her. Which is just what Kurt got from Blaine and thank God for Blaine because Kurt was starting to get really depressing. I was starting to think he had some kind of separation anxiety or something. But thank God he got himself together and went off to New York, where he belongs. And he really does have the best dad in the world and when he cried I almost broke down myself. And now Kurt and Rachel are finally together.
Now on to the "new New Directions." I love Wade/Unique and I'm so happy that he/she is in the New Directions now. I was wondering what they were going to do because the club is now on top because of their nationals win. But, when there's a will there's a way and that way is Kitty. Kitty is like the student form of Sue Sylvester and it's no surprise that she's a Cheerio and Sue's personal assistant. Side note: Sue's baby is adorable! My heart melted. Now Jake and Marley; let's start with Marley. I knew that her mom was gonna be the lunch lady and she is the BEST mom in the world. I'm so glad she's good, but I did think she was going to choke at her audition but she didn't. And I don't care what anyone thinks, Marley is becoming the new Rachel whether Blaine likes it or not. Now on to Jake. That boy is a piece of eye candy and he better get himself together and join the New Directions because he can sing.
Now overall, this was a good episode. The songs that they chose were great and as hard as it may be to admit, I was singing along to Call Me Maybe. I enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what they're going to do for the rest of the season. And thanks for the eye candy!! (LOL)

The Bodyguard

I wanted to see this movie for a while but I never found it. But a couple days ago I found it so I watched. I can't believe that I hadn't seen this before. This movie is so good!! I mean, I didn't think that it was possible for me to laugh, cry , and feel a little scared while watching one movie. This was a thriller, and a love story with some comedy all wrapped in one. The acting was  good too which is a huge plus.
I just thought that this movie was about a singer and her bodyguard but it wasn't just that. I don't want to give away anything but there are so many twist and turns in this film. I honestly couldn't predict and thing and that's major for me.
I'm not gonna say anything more because I don't want to spoil it for you. Just go watch it for yourself and then you'll know what I mean.

Switched at Birth

Sorry about not doing the 1st episode, my computer was down. But, I'm happy to be back so let's get to it. 
Angelo and Regina are married!!! I had a feeling this was gonna happen, but not exactly like this. I just hope that everything works out and they both don;t have to go to jail because that would be a hot mess. Who else was shocked when Toby pushed Emmett to the ground?!? I know I was. I mean, it's okay that he's mad, he has a right to be, but to push him seems a bit much but, he did deserve it. 
One thing I don't get is how this whole living situation will work. What if the immigration people come and he and Regina are just chilling out in their respective houses?? Then what are they gonna say/do? I  think it would've made more sense if Bay and Daphne switched spots. Then they could both be with their 'bio' families and get to know them better. I just can't wait to see how this will all pan out. 
Oh and why in the world was Simone at that AA meeting?? Is she and alcoholic?? She was drunk when she slept with Emmett so maybe she is an alcoholic ... I guess we just have to wait to find out!
