Eli Stone Season Premiere

So, the Season Premiere of Eli Stone was last night, and it was PHENOMINAL!

So, last season ended with Eli waking from his surgery. Well, 5 months have past, and Eli hasn't seen one vision. It seems the anurism is actually out for good, which means, No More Visions. Well, minus the vision he described to his therapist, played by Sigourney Weaver, but that didn't really happen.

Anyway, so then, Nate Stone, Eli's brother, is going to see a patient, but as he enters the patient's room, he ends up in a different building entirely. And a crane falls on it. As he walks around, the viewers realize that it's NATE who has the vision, instead of Eli. Fascinating, huh? So, he goes to Eli and Eli wants to go to court to save the building, but Nate just gets angry and leaves.

Now, they go to Dr. Chen, and Nate 'rides the needle' as we call it. Basically, he gets acupuncture to see the full vision. This time, he's in the same building and sees Jordan walking down the stair-well and then a crane crashes into the bulding. So Jordan was in the stair well, but as the people are trying to evacuate people, they can't get TO the stairwell because it might collapse the remainder of the building, plus no one takes the stairwell. However, Jordan's wife decides to help Eli where a very emotional Taylor refused. So, they go to court, and FAIL. But then, Nate faints and is taken to the hospital, for a scan to see if he has the brain anurism.

Eli, just before this, got a call from someone who says he didn't have his liscense to practice law returned, and he checks the paper, to show that Sigourney signed it, only to find there was no signature at all. After seeing his brother in the hospital, Eli goes to Sigourney (we don't know the character's name) only to find her office has been empty for three months. Coincidentally, 3 months is how long Eli's been seeing Sigourney.

But as he goes into the empty office, there she appears as if nothing happens. She explains that she's "God's fiduciary" rather then the Big G himself as Eli suggested. She tells Eli that one of them has to do the work, and so one of them must have the anurism and visions. A very emotional Eli says that Nate has too much to live for, whereas he has nothing. He asks that he have the anurism instead of Nate. So, the angel, if you will, grants his wish. The same doctor with the funny name who did the surgery in the first place later explained to Eli that certain anurisms can grow back. Nate, surprise surprise, is found clean of any brain defect.

Frankly, I love how they bring God into this plot in a way, to 'guide' Eli with his visions. Sure, it may seem funny and strange, but no one really knows how God works, right? The Big Man is a very mysterious person...

I cannot wait for next weeks episode!!!

Last Saturday, my brothers and I watched the movie Eagle Eye. Overall i give the movie 3 stars. I enjoyed the creative plot, which involved one of America's most prized possessions: their cell phones. The whole reasoning behind the cell phones, and the mysterious lady was really far-fetched and rather stupid, in my opinion. The worst part of the movie had to be the end, when the main character came back to life and the mysterious computer lady was killed with a metal stick.

October's Top Ten Songs

1) Drill Here, Drill Now. [Aaron Tippin]

-

Drill here, drill now

How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow

No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud

Drill here, drill now

-

This song is amazing because it's just. so. true. Aaron Tippin is really awesome; he has some awesome songs, I must say. If you like that unorthodox country, you'd like him. His voice is super twangy, which brings it a bluegrassy feel to it. It's really cool. But anyway, this song is basically about drilling in the USA instead of the millions of other country. Aaron Tippin! Huzzah!

2) I'm Just Talkin' Bout Tonight [Toby Keith]

-

Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.

That would be too demanding.

I'm just talkin bout two lonely people

who might reach a little understanding.

I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven

with whether we're wrong or we're right.

I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.

I'm just talkin bout tonight.

-

Lol! These are one of those awesome country songs that are made solely as a joke. Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, and Toby Keith are notorious for them, in my opinion. Sure, it's not good morals, but who cares? It's a joke. People joke with friends about ill-moralled jokes all the time, so what's the harm? It's just some entertaining fun and lyrics. The video is really funny too; it's got this one freak who's hitting on some girls and ends up trying to lick one of their ears, and another old guy who's tryin to impress this goth girl with magic tricks. xD Very awesome.

3) You ain't much Fun. [Toby Keith]

-

Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash

It's honey do this, honey do that

I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

-

Another horribly ill-moralled song, but still funny. Good tune, and funny lyrics. As I said previously, Toby Keith is notorious for good joked songs, he's also great at very serious ones. :D It's basically about how his girlfriend got him to quit drinking and he did and then had to do a whole bunch of housework and stuff. :P Toby Keith is awesome.

4) Wild One [Faith Hill]

-

She's a wild one

With an angel's face

She's a woman-child

In a state of grace

When she was 3 years old on her daddy's knee

He said you can be anything you want to be

She's a wild one

Runnin' free

-

I absolutely love this song. It reminds me forever of Mackenzie, my really old friend who now lives in Australia. This is my base for the main character's lover in the novel; a rebel! I also love it, because it has that old feel of Country; the '80s and '90s were some of the best songs ever. Amazing tune, Amazing Song.

5) Suds in the Bucket [Sara Evens]

-

Now her daddy's in the kitchen - starin' out the window

Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains

How could 18 years just up and walk away

Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman

Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hangin' out on the line

-

Another classic. This song basically is telling that you can't fence time and you can't stop love. :D It's always good to hear one of these older songs on the radio, because it means they're still amazing and popular. I have to say, the older songs always have a uniqueness to them that just makes them better...

6) Who I am. [Jessica Andrews]

-

I am Rosemary's granddaughter

The spitting image of my father

And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan

Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy

But I've got friends that love me

And they know just where I stand

It's all a part of me

And that's who I am

-

This is a wonderful song that I love. It's nice and smooth, and is a very happy song that would make any dull day seem sunny and nice...even though I tend to think of the dull days nice and beautiful and wonderful and stuff. But I'm just an over-excessive optimist! :D Anyway, so this song I heard on the radio a few years ago, then last week it was on and I was like, OMG I LOVE THIS SONG, so I had to listen to it and it became on the top ten. The thing is, this girl is beautiful in a really weird way, it's hard to explain but her face is beautiful in a really creepy way in the video. :P It's because she looks like a little porceline doll. O.o

7) Love Me Dead [Ludo]

-

She moves through moonbeams slowly

She knows just how to hold me

And when her edges soften

Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly

She wears me down to bones in bed

Must be the sign on my head

That says, oh...Love me dead! Love me dead!

-

LOL. Thats all I can really say for this song. It's hilarious to me, I must say. It's from an emo band, but it's catchy in the most obnoxious way. The singer, his motions in the video, kinda remind me of Wierd Al. This was shown in Theatre class by a student (showing a teacher. I got to see from where I was sitting) because of it's very play like nature to it.

8) When Love Fades [Toby Keith]

-

Where do you run

Where do you hide

After a promise breaks

Who'll be the one

To say goodbye

And who'll be the one to stay

When love fades

-

A kind of depressing song in a way, but very very good. An oldish Toby song, it has a great feel to it. Toby is by far one of my most favorite Country Singers...

9) Honkytonk Badonkadonk [Trace Adkins]

-

At that honky tonk badonkadonk

Keepin' perfect rhythm

Make ya wanna swing along

Got it goin' on

Like Donkey Kong

And whoo-wee

Shut my mouth, slap your grandma

There outta be a law

Get the Sheriff on the phone

Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on

That honky tonk badonkadonk

(Aww son)

-

This song is amazing because it is perfectly TRUE. Completely and utterly; it's just presented in a hilarious manner. Trace Adkins is awesome in every way shape and form. :P

10) Who says you can't Go Home? [Jennifer Nettles and Bon Jovi]

-

Who says you can't go home

There's only one place they call me one of their own

Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright

-

As I said previously, Jennifer Nettles is physically the hottest woman in Country; she has a great voice, and a bubbly personality. Bon Jovi is okay, I spose. :P Just a good song all around. One of those one-of-the-first-country-songs-i-like songs.

Cool Beans...

in my opinion, Hot Rod was a very funny movie. I didn't think i would enjoy it, but i did.

It reminded me of a better Napoleon Dynamite movie with a better plot and acting.

Stranger than Fiction

Stranger than fiction is an awesome movie. I was confused until i started to get into the story and i was soon able to predict some things that were going to happen. Stranger than fiction is indeed a movie with a plotline stranger than fiction. The whole idea behind the movie was incredulous but it worked. The ending would have been better if Harold had died as planned, but it added perfect, poetic irony that worked with the plot of the movie.

the double drive-in movie review

Yesterday, my friends, Breanna and Rachel, and I went to the drive-in.

Wall-e and the Dark Knight was playing.

From the first time i saw the commercials for wall-e, i decided that it would be a dumb movie and wasn't going to watch it. a movie with hardly any talking in it just wasn't my cup of tea. but i went to watch it anyway. i expected wall-e to be about a robot on mars, so i wasn't that excited about watching it, but the movie surprised me. One of my favorite films. it was a cute little robot love story, and it kept me laughing all the way through. very well thought out, and well done movie. also, the fat people were hilarious.

the dark knight. the first batman movie seemed stupid, so i never watched it. but i wanted to see this one. first off, heath ledger did an awesome job being the joker. [why so serious?] the joker was my favorite character. some of the more finer details of the movie i didn't understand, due to the fact that i didn;t watch the first batman movie or read the comics or whatever. overall, awesome, awesome movie.

two great movies for the price of one. that's what i call awesome.
