Rant Rant Rant

okay, so i thought i would just take this opportunity to have a bit of a rant and moan. i am rather annoyed that here in the UK we are so far behind, i mean look at how far behind we are on 90210- in America they are already well into season three and there is no sign of it making an appearnce her in the UK anytime soon.
so in the rest of this post i have scoured the internet for trailers and tidbits of shows i would like to see make their way over here asap;

Chase




Now i really like the look of this one, a bit of girl power i think going on but at the same time, it looks like it is well written and acted. the action looks real and i think that i could really enjoy this programme.


Parenthood 
 

Okay so , this is a brand new show from NBC and personally i think it was a good choice for Lauren Graham, although i don't think she is going to beat Lorelai Gilmore, but this does suit her. The rest of the cast look amazing and like they can all act even the younger elements of this rather large main cast. I really cannot wait for this one, i think it is going to have a Brothers and Sisters feel to it but more real, if that makes any sense.

Hellcats



Okay now, i know it is quite sad but i am a big fan of the Bring it on movies and i think this programme has that kind of feel to it just with way better music, check out some of the other promos, the music is just awesome. I also think it is going to be good because they have some of the best actors thrown in from previous projects such as One Tree Hill, which is just amazing, and if it is anything like Ten Inch Hero (a film i definitely reccomend) it will be amazing.

The Secret Life of The American Teenager



Now i think that this one would be amazing, in a teenage trash kind of way, which is what i love best. i tyhink that seeing as it is now several seasons in, in America it must be a sucess and i just hope they launch it over here asap. From past experience abc has produced some amazing comedy family dramas like this one and i have loved them, so why should this be any different?

Make it or break it



Now from the fact that i love the film Stick It, i think that this one would be a success in my eyes, but look at it, again it is an abc original which imply some kind of quality but it also has great montages and great music. the mix of drama and athletics is there, i think it is going to be great.


okay so i know a lot of you aren't necessarily from the UK and do not have to put up with the waits like i do, do you think i am looking forward to the right shows? any others that i have to see? Comment me and i will check them out.

Blame the ironing

This blog has been on the net for nearly a month now. by now you must be wondering where my deep love of TV programmes and my ability to watch so many every week comes from. Well, i blame it on the ironing. Every Sunday i get up and the one chore i have to do is the huge heap of my family's ironing. now this used to bore me quite a bit because i didn't realise i could in fact multitask! yes i could stick a dvd in and watch 2-3 hours of my favorite movies , but then after quite a few weeks of this i realised i was bored of watching the same DVDs over and over again and without a disposable income of my own i could not afford a new DVD every week. i then discovered i could in fact record all those TV shows i had been wanting to watch during the week. and so the obsession began. i know sad really. i began to watch all sort of things, including: (very long list to follow):

 90210 

 Ashes to Ashes

Brothers and Sisters 

Cold Case 

Dark Blue 

Desperate Housewives

Friends

Gilmore Girls 

Glee

Gossip Girl 

 Heartland 

Leverage 

Life Unexpected 

Melrose place 

One Tree Hill 

Roswell

The OC 

Torchwood 

Vampire Diaries 

Veronica Mars 

Wildfire 

I hope to cover some of these obsessions in following posts as some of the other ones which were cancelled before their time (Veronica Mars, Roswell) do not get enough recognition. Help to keep them alive with me and the help of other people in the Blogs world.

Leverage

Okay so i have finally seen the first episode of Leverage, and i have to say i wasn't sure about it in the first couple of minutes but by the start of the first set of adverts i was really into, i love the cast, they have a really good chemistry and they seem to click well. the storyline was great, i didn't particularly like the flashbacks, i would have liked them to be a bit more in depth- tell me something about the character. i am really intrigued though by the whole dead son bit. i am intrigued enough to have set up the rest of the series for record.

the Vampire Diaries Return!

Okay so it has been announced that Vampire Diaries will be returning to ITV2 next Tuesday- 5th October at 9pm on ITV2 and i cannot wait, i have already done a bit of a waiting piece for this show and i did include the trailer but what the hell you can never have too much Damon in your life so lets see it again.

can't wait

coughs and sneezes spread daytime TV!

Okay so i have managed to catch just about every cough, cold and sneeze going at the minute and generally feel awful most of the time, on the plus side i get to stay at home and watch - wait for it- really good daytime TV, and i am just so thankful to E4 for their amazing line up at the minute.
Okay so first of all i start my day of at the ranch with Heartland and their amazing cast- yes i have already seen this before but somethings never get old- like Ty's face- sooo hot. I also love Mallory and find her hilarious.

Then it is on to deseperate housewives and we have just done the skipping of five years and personally i think they are all the better for it, better drama, better cast, amazing storylines!

After that we catch a little bit of a nap as i can't stand The Hills, they all drive me insane! Too fake for me - haha i know reality show but i just can't stand it.
Then at 8 we catch up with Veronica Mars one of my faverite TV shows of all time- i love the whole cast and the writing is amazing and the hot guys and the drama- oh i could go on but i think to get the full effect you should check it out yourself rather than listen to me rave about it.

And then we start to repeat ourselves a bit - which is fine because when i have been as ill as i have been i tend to zone in and out a bit but then we get to 10.20 after a good dose of friends we get to probably my fave show of all time Gilmore Girls- this is  simply an awesome show- the writing is amazing, the comedy is there but in a clever way and most of all Lauren Graham is beaming out the screen at me and i suddenly feel a hell of  a lot better. thank Gilmore Girls. i heart you.

Now this is just the start of it but i have covered all the really important ones so i will let you get your teeth into those and then i will cover some of the other things which do or have appeared in the long long history of really good daytime TV.

ooo la la

So i have just caught up on the first episode of the new season of Gossip Girl. i was a little bit worried after reading other peoples reviews that it was going to be really bad and that i was going to be really disappointed but i was pleasantly surprised. saying this though i kind of have a feeling that this may be the end of Gossip Girl after this season, with all the actors becoming more and more successful in their own right with their other projects and talk of Serena (Blake) wanting out and talking to writers about how to kill her off?!?!? Anyway all that is beside the point, i think this season is going to be better than ever especially when we get Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) back in the picture.
So what happened in the season premiere you may ask well i am about to tell you so look away now if you haven't seen it yet.
we find that Blair and Serena have been living it up in Paris, Serena with a steady influx of different men and Blair with a steady stream of shopping making it back to her hotel room. They both seem happy enough and when Blair bumps into a man staring at her favorite picture in the gallery and she suspects him of being a royal of Monaco she is over the moon. She then finds out that her date wants to make it a double with Serena and his friend and Blair agrees. She then finds out that he is not in fact the Royal but Serena's date is and in a fit of jealousy she pushes Serena into a fountain. Queue one very wet Serena who still manages to look extremely hot. Blair also finds out Serena has got into Columbia with her and is even more angry. She tries to get out of her date when Serena asks the "royal" for a lift home and finds out that she is indeed on a date with a royal and that he had swapped places with his driver to make sure that she was not just using him. Poor Blair.
Back in New York we find that Nate has been taking full advantage of Chuck's little black book which of course gets him into trouble, he takes one of his "dates" out to breakfast and meets a girl he think he might actually like as his date wanders off with some other guy behind his back. we then meet this mysterious woman again at Elanor's event at Lily's and Rufus's who have just gotten back from visiting Jenny and her mother. her name turns out to be Juliet and Nate is taken in by her and when she offers to "Talk" he takes her up on it. Now she is up to something because right at the end of the episode we see her living in a very tiny apartment and putting on very nice clothes with the labels still attached, she also has some kind of stalkerish board up on her wall with all of the Gossip Girl crew up on her wall. hmmm... what is she up to i wonder.
Then there is the whole drama with Dan and Georgina, at the end of last season she turned up heavily pregnant claiming it is Dan's baby, we open this season with quite an old looking baby but a baby nonetheless and both her and Dan looking after it in Rufus's old apartment, apparently without telling anyone apart from Nate. Georgina seems to be in trouble some how with weird phone calls happening all the time. Vanessa turns up back from her trip and finds out why Dan has been MIA and tells him he has to tell Rufus. Dan doesn't get there in time as Georgina turns up at the event at Lily's with baby in tow. Dan rushes over to explain and Rufus demands a paternity test when Dan says he hasn't done one. Georgina produces documents which apparently show that Dan is in fact the father and after a phone call with the doctor who signed them Dan signs the birth certificate. At the end of the episode we see Georgina leaving for a spa, leaving baby with Dan, who knows whether she will come back?
and then finally we catch up with Chuck, through the episode Lily has been issued with papers saying that Chuck has not paid any bills and has been making weird purchases on his credit card, she rings around trying to find him, much to Rufus's anger and finally she gets a phone call saying the police has found a body washed up with his identification and wallet in the pocket. But we know one better, Chuck is not in fact dead, some beauty dragged him to a hotel room and patched him up, we see flashes of his past and it seems he is regretful of his past, together they travel to Paris and he uses a different name? who knows why because i always loved his line about "Because I'm Chuck Bass" but maybe he has moved on. i am looking forward to seeing what Blair will do when she sees him, but that is all for next week.

I cannot wait for next week but until then, au revoir my lovelies

Fall Movies

Okay so there are so many awesome new movies coming out this winter that i thought i would just write a short piece about the ones i am looking forward to the most, and of course the biggest one Harry Potter,


Okay so the first one that i am most looking forward to is Easy A, i have been watching and re-watching this trailer for months now and it is finally out at the cinema, i cannot wait to go and see it. here is the official synopsis: As she studies The Scarlet Letter, high schooler Olive Penderghast (Stone) notices her parallels to the novel and begins to work the school's rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.

And here is the trailer, check it out:

So you can see why i am so excited to see this one.



Next is Takers, i have been watching this trailer for a while now and have already put the featured song on my iPod, because it is that great, i don't usually like this kind of movie but there is so much hotness wandering around in it, that it must be good. Plot: A hard-boiled detective (Dillon) gets in between a group of bank robbers and their plan to make away with a $20 million bounty.

The social network opens October 1st, and looks great, it is also one of the most talked about movies at the moment and i think it is going to be as good as they are making it out to be. Plot: Harvard undergraduate Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) recruits some of his classmates to develop the social networking website, Facebook. The endeavor, however, leads to a messy fallout with friend and co-founder, Eduardo Saverin (Garfield). It stars : Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake to name a few. 




Life as we know it opens October 8th in the UK and i cannot wait, Katherine Hiegl is an amazing actress and she always seems to get it right, every time. so here goes for another hilarious adventure:



Conviction, now i am not entirely sure about this but you can guarantee that Hilary Swank will give a great performance, so i think i will still give it a go, this also comes out October 8th.






Fair Game also looks really good in a thriller kind of way,The Plot: While investigating the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, CIA operative Valerie Plame (Watts) discovers her identity allegedly leaked by the government as payback for an op-ed article her husband (Penn) wrote criticizing the Bush administration.









Welcome to the Rileys: i know that it is a bit of a cliche now but i actually really like Kirsten Stewart and i think that this kind of movie suits her a lot more than the Twilight saga. It will be interesting to see this although it only has a limited release so it may be a DVD order, anyway it comes out November 5th.



Finally we get to Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1 and i have to say that these movies seems to get better and better with each installment, it is a shame they will be ending soon, but i will be prebooking my ticket to see this one, i think this is s queue for 3 hours film wherever you are.







Burlesque: i am looking forward to this one because the cast is just amazing, i love both Kirsten Bell and Cam Gigandet and cannot wait to see them in this.

Trailer:



Somewhere: this movie looks like it could go one way or the other, it has a relatively unknown cast, Dakot Fanning's sister, Elle has one of the leads so I'm going to watch it just because of her, Plot: A hard-living actor (Dorff) holed up in the Chateau Marmont gets a reality check when he's visited by his 11-year-old daughter (Fanning).

Trailer:




Country strong: A drama centered on a rising country-music songwriter (Hedlund) who sparks with a fallen star (Paltrow). Together, they mount his ascent and her comeback, which leads to romantic complications involving her husband/manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-singer (Meester). Now i am going to see this just because i love Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and so the actual story could be quite bad but i might forgive it if she is anywhere near as good s she is in GG. It opens 24th December most places, later elsewhere nearer to January 7th.

Trailer:








Okay so i have covered all the ones i am looking forward to, as i see them i will post a review but it may take me a while, i don't have the money to be going to the cinema twice a week, but i will try to be as quick as possible,Thanks

Southland

Okay so i mainly started watching this out of boredom and lack of other good TV on at the time. I later (when i saw him on the show) realized this was Ben McKenzie's next big TV show after The OC and i have to say i think he picked well. this time he is on the complete opposite side of the story, good boy from an overly rich family, and i think the uniform actually suits him. As for his partner, John (Michael Cudlitz) i am not sure, in fact i am not sure about any of the rest of the cast. they are all relatively unknown, to me anyway and seem to lack so spark but it does seem a lot more real than any of the other cop shows on TV (Cold case, CSI) and i kind of like that about it. The story lines are well written and executed, and although unknown they all seem like very good actors.
I particularly love how all the cops in the department have their own story, life, outside of the office which many cop shows rarely manage to to do well. Sometimes i would just like to see a bit more of it. For example Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) and his daughter/ sister. I think that could have been the storyline to a whole TV show of its own but they barely managed to cram it into 20 minutes in one episode. and Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) and her mother or lack there of, we never seem to actually see it is always just a voice.
I think they should cut back on the amount of cops in the department and focus on maybe 4 or 5, i want to see more of their personal life. That is one of the things which really bugs me about this kind of show, it is all about the action and banter in the office, leaving very little room for the family drama going on at home, of which this show has plenty.

Ayway you should definitely check it out if you haven't already.

Tonight is the night!

Yes this is it people, Gossip Girl 8pm on ITV 2- BE THERE!

Gossip Girl update

More news from the Gossip Girl set, i have just seen pictures of Blake Lively on Set with Sam Page, and i have to say they look great together but i will be interested how they write this one in. Since the start of the show Blake seems to have all the fun with the guys, flitting between as many as 3 guys in one season ! i know mad! but i have to see the start of this season, it starts TOMORROW at 8pm on itv2. You better be there!
(check out the pictures and story here)

80's Styles... Yum

okay so i have just finished watching the most recent episode of One Tree Hill and i have to say that apart from the fashion it was a really good one, namely because Jamie was in most scenes- Love him.
The Alex/Brooke?Julian situation is still killing me and seeing as they just started their movie together i think i may end up throwing something at the TV. Although credit when credit is due, Alex has been a lot less annoying although i can't help thinking that she is up to something..hmmm.
I loved the whole Clay and Nathan bit in this episode for apparently being close friends we have never really seen them talk like that before, it was nice, it was also good to see Clay so happy, especially near the end with Quinn.
i also loved the fashion on the show, i have to say though that some looked better than others. Who do think looked the best? Comment your answer.
much love Jemz xxx

Life Unexpected Premiere

Okay so i have been waiting so long for this programme to air over here, and it did not disappoint. Lux (Brittany Robertson) is a great actress and has a really interesting back story which I cannot wait to get to know. I have always loved Shiri Appleby but in this she is just phenomenal. The storyline was great and the one liners were hilarious, it has a almost dark comedy which makes the ultimately quite sad storyline uplifting and in some parts funny. I can see things going very wrong, I mean Cate and Baze sleeping together again when she is practically engaged is just going to come out at some point, I can see myself feeling very sorry for Ryan. Anyway if you have not yet checked out this programme you have to. 

Dark Blue Premiere

Yay i have just finished watching the first episode of Dark Blue from Thursday, i know i am a bit behind. i think i am really going to like this one, is it possible that Logan Marshall Green has gotten even hotter since The OC? I think its the bad boy charm he always seems to be channeling.  I love all the characters on this show, they all seem really down to earth and real. i don't want to give too much away but i would definitely recommend that you check it out if you haven't already.

One Tree Hill catch up

Okay, so now I am fully caught up on all things One Tree Hill. I have just finished watching the episode where the other sister, Taylor, turns up with sister Quinn’s ex husband in tow. Three times the drama.

Anyway I just love these three together, Haley, Quinn and Taylor, they all seem to have that rock star quality to them and are totally believable as sisters. I think that if One Tree Hill ever decided to end (season 8 has just started in America) they could create a programme about these three growing up together I think it could be hilarious. We may even get to see a bit of Lucas back in the picture. Yum!

That’s the other thing I have noticed, having not really seen any of this series and just catching up now, I think I am beginning to Miss Hilary and Chad less and less. Yes I would like to see their baby (got to be cute going by the parents) and yes I do feel a twinge every time I hear Brooke talk about Peyton (best friends like that should stay together), but I don’t miss them in the way I thought I would. I mean take Peyton for example we seem to have replaced her pretty well with Quinn, one brooding, I have problems artist for another. Also Lucas why do we need another “in the sports business” guy when we have Clay, who apparently has been around for a while but we never met him in the last series? Yes I do see the irony, they have tried to replace them with cheaper goods and going from past flops in this area (The OC, Marissa for Taylor) I think they have done a remarkably good job.

Another thing I would say is that they really need to get off Brooke's back at the minute, bless her, everything is going wrong for her and Julian, hasn’t she had enough guy problems? And then add that to the whole “I desperately want children but can’t “saga and I’m starting to think they only expression Sophia can do is “sad Pout” which is so not fair on such a great actress. Then there’s the weirdness with her mother, I kind of liked her as an evil bitch but now she has decided to go all soft, it’s a nice change but I’m thinking she is up to something and hopefully we will see the devil with rise again.

I also want to know what the hell is up with Millie, Why would she do all the shit she is doing at the minute, she seemed like the only down the earth character on this show and I loved her for it. But now she’s a recovering drug addict? What the hell? And yet even though she is the one acting like a complete idiot, Mouth is the one I really want to slap. How could he have left her like that if he really loved her? He has managed to slightly redeem himself in this week’s episode though coming back to help rescue her but I’m still not sure he won’t just run off again.

After that amazingly long rant , I just want to say that I do love this show as much as I love to rant about it and so long as Jamie (Jackson Brundage). here is a link to the offical E4 One Tree Hill homepage: One Tree Hill on E4

Want it

Just a quick thing, here is a pretty awesome t- shirt i found online, i will be getting myself one of these, the link is posted below.

Oh, the gossip

Yay i have just found out that Gossip Girl will be returning to our screens in the UK next Thursday with Chuck Bass apparently alive and well. :) Thank god they are coming back i was missing the GG lads. I have been watching the trailer for Chace Crawfords new movie Twelve over and over again in hopes of seeing it properly soon. . I have loved Chace in all the things he has done so far particularly 'Long Lost Son' with Craig Sheffer, who played Keith in One tree hill before being killed of by his brother, Oh the drama! I haven't caught up on One Tree Hill recently but hope to do so this weekend. Anyway back to the point, the GG lads. I am so glad they didn't kill of Chuck. I love his character and Ed Westwick, his voice just makes me weak. If the same is true for you, you have to see season 3's bloopers there is a great bit in there with Ed swapping between his American and British accent and i still can't decide which is sexier. Anyways take a look for yourselves.
Much love Jem xxx
