Toddlers and Tiaras competition

Er Yucks

I am just watching this show called"Toddlers and Tiaras" on TV. It is definitely a mixed reaction phenomena. The kiddies (invariably girls) in the competition are definitely cute, even beautiful. Yet at the same time there is a definite revulsion in seeing them. Not just coz the parents (almost always moms) are themselves suspect (how far do they push them? are the comps for the mom's or are the kids really into this).

Movie Review: The Road

Moon: Personal Movie Review

Was delighted to have seen the movie "Moon" yesterday. My hubby had to drag me out of the house. I was wearing a very bad-tempered, disgruntled, unhappy face as I had to rush and my internet connection had gone down to zero speed. But I am so glad to have been dragged to the movies.

Review: Cesar Milan, Dog Whisperer - Live in Sydney

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of seeing Cesar Milan live at the Acer Arena, Olympic Stadium, Sydney, Australia. And it was definitely a pleasure.

Cesar Milan is not only THE Dog Whisperer, he is also a man of high and admirable integrity.

Gordon Ramsay vs Tracy Grimshaw

"A new form of low life" says Kevin Rudd, Australia's Prime Minister, in describing Gordon's latest rant and rave outburst.

Really Gordon, even if one wanted to be on your side, you do make it hard. Kevin Rudd's description, though harsh, is perhaps well deserved for you.

Susan Boyle defeated by Diversity

It was certainly a shock defeat. The 11 street dancers that form the troupe Diversity have been declared winners with Susan Boyle as runner up. Diversity did a remarkable performance and you can see Diversity on YouTube.

Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

Just watched the latest Star Trek which chronicles the beginning of the legend of Captain James T. (Tiberius) Kirk and his iconic crew. Was not as enthused to go and watch it as I had imagined I would have been. Am glad I did. Was a surprise and much better than expected.

I went with no conception of the story plot and expected to see the "Fat Boy" (aka James T Kirk; less well known as William Shatner) appear. But that was not to be. However his younger version did very well indeed.

Susan Boyle with "Memories" and Through Semi-Finals

After the disappointment from seeing Adam Lambert so not-deservedly lose American Idol 2009, I thought I would keep myself away from all these competitions for a while to let my sadden heart revived. But Susan Boyle's news caught my eyes, and my fingers followed suit shortly after.
