The Host

My brother may have only liked it but I absolutely loved it. What am I writing about? The Host, baby! This fucker rocked my fucking socks off. Sure, the visual effects are inconsistent (some shots they look amazing, some look like a high school team made it) but man, the movie is so goddamn good. So good in fact that it's #3 on my best of the year so far list. You people gotta watch this movie!

Series year enders:

Prison Break: Amazing all the way to the end. Sure, the final minute was so frickin predictable but the ride there was intense all the way.

Lost: Again, what the fuck happened to Lost? It was so good two years ago (Season 1), now it's not even a shadow of itself. Too many questions and no fucking answers piss me off. Don't tell me that I need patience because that is such cockshit. A serial drama is supposed to develop characters every episode but here the characters just sit around. For example, the flashbacks are supposed to expose more flaws for the characters but they are only there to fill in the time. I think that the writing team just ran out of ideas. I think I'm beginning to hate this goddamn show.

Heroes: God FUCKING damn. Now that is how you end the fucking year!!!! The previous episode was a flashback episode (now that is how you do some flashbacks, Lost) and not only did it push the story further, it developed the characters. Sylar (the villain) turned from a mild mannered watchmaker to some badass motherfucker with some gnarly powers. The painter dude (I don't know his name) found a way to paint without chasing the dragon and Peter got beyond fucked up with his fucked up dreams! If there's one flaw, it's the goddamn Niki storyline. Who the hell wrote her character? She doesn't even have a goddamn power, her power is just having a split personality. If that is really a power then goddamn, we have a lot of fucking heroes in this world saying that Satan is telling them to do shit. Her storyline has veered so off course of the main storyline and it's boring me to death. Thankfully, her storyline wasn't that long. Man, this show is one of the best on TV (aside from PB, Dexter, and House).

Light Grenades

You know, I'm beginning to feel this new album from Incubus. It's beginning to grow on me. Some tracks just piss me off (especially Earth to Bella) but some tracks are pretty good (Oil and Water especially).
