Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: Michael Douglas, Amber Tamblyn
Last night we decided to rent a movie and eat frozen pizza while the snow came down outside. Earlier in the day I had went to Redbox and picked up Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. I vaguely remembered previews and thought it might be interesting.
I was standing outside at Redbox in the freezing cold trying to hurry and just quickly picked this movie. Later when I was telling hubby about it I told him that it had Harrison Ford in it. I figure most Harrison Ford movies are great. Except this movie does not have Harrison Ford!!
Michael Douglas - Harrison Ford, same difference right? LOL
The movie started off slow and I imagine it didn’t have a huge budget but once it got going it was quite interesting. I did enjoy it, not my favorite but it was interesting enough. Hubby on the other hand wasn’t impressed. He had it figured out at the very beginning and spoke his thoughts aloud. Sure enough, he was right!
The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry: Gavin MacLeod and Robert Guillaume
One of our local churches did something super cool, their youth group, paid the money to bring this movie to a local theater.
The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry is a wonderful Christian movie featuring Gaving MacLeod (from the Love Boat), Robert Guillaume (from Benson) and Jansen Panettiere. It is a sweet story of a group of adolescent boys trying to find their way in life and the one man who helped make a change in them forever.
If you have seen Facing the Giants or Fireproof and loved them, then you will love this movie. We had the opportunity to go watch it last weekend and we loved it. Even our 11 and 14 yr old daughters loved it.
This movie will not be playing everywhere. You can find out about sponsporing it to a local theater near you on their website. That is what the local youth group here did.
If it does happen to play in your town, I highly recommend going to see it. It is wholesome and full of good Christian values. It is rated PG and safe for all audiences to watch.
American Idol Season 9: Do you Like the Guest Judges?
So far I am enjoying this season of American Idol, I have been really impressed with some of the contestants. However I cannot wait until we get to Hollywood, it is much more interesting for me at that point. So I am wondering how you are all liking the guest judges?
I can’t say that I miss Paula because half the time it didn’t seem that she was actually there or had a clue what was going on. As for the guest judges it seems to me like they are all playing the good cop which was what Paula always did. I am wondering if this will be the case for all the guest judges.
Also I don’t know that I am super excited for Ellen to be the fourth judge starting Hollywood week. I think it will turn into a comedy skit for each performance and I don’t really think that fits wit the show. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
What do you think?
Patti Eliminated on Biggest Loser
I stayed up late night before last to get caught up on the new season of the Biggest Loser. I wasn’t to surprised that once again this season has the a group of the largest people every with several right at 500! Wow, Bob and Jillian really have their work cut out for them.
This year we are back to couples. In the first episode to sets of couple we sent home directly after the cycling challenge. They will be competing at home to lose weight and will be brought back in 30 days (I think they said 30 days) and the team that has lost the most will get to stay on the show.
At the end of episode 1, James, one of the Brown Team twins had been eliminated.
Episode 2 they had a balance beam challenge that the White team did not complete. Maria had a fear of water and ended up falling and hurting herself and had to go to the hospital in an ambulance. Afterward Jillian worked with her on her fear of water and made some breakthroughs with her.
The Red team won immunity in that competition and decided it was time to start playing the game. Mellisa actually gained 1lb this week in order to better her chances next week.
The Purple team went below the yellow line and Patti sacrificed herself for her daughter and was eliminated.
As for episode 3 I haven’t watched it yet. I record Biggest Loser on Friday night on FLN instead of their Tuesday night slot becuase Tuesday is usually a big night for my DVR.
Human Target
Tonight was the pilot episode of Human Target. The show is airing on Fox and it will move to it’s new time slot on Wednesday the 20th at 9pm.
The main character is a P.I./Bodyguard type who becomes a Human Target for customers who have had death threats. Hubby and I really enjoyed the first episode. It was full of action and intrigue, not to mention a little humor thrown in. The one thing that hubby didn’t like was the music for the opening of the show. He said it didn’t fit at all. Look forward to seeing the new episode on Wednesday.
