Lionsgate | 2012 | Rated PG-13 | 142 minutes When you read a great novel and then hear they are turning it into a film, your heart lurches a bit with happiness and then dread. What happens if they cast the wrong person in the lead role? How can they possibly get all of that book into a movie? What if, what if, what if? I felt this way when I heard they were making The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) into [...]

American Idol 11 – The Final 3 Perform
This week the contestants will each sing 3 songs. One chosen by the judges, one they choose and one chosen by Jimmy Iovine. Joshua Ledet is up first with the judges choice I’d Rather Be Blind - Etta James. I love when Josh sings these torchy type of songs. He gets right in the pocket and makes it his own. I love that he reigns in the melodrama for the majority of the song, saving the whooping and hollering for the [...]

American Idol 11 – No More Saves…Someone Is Going Home
No more second chances. No more safety nets. Tonight, someone must go home. So – who is it going to be?

American Idol 11 – Top Seven Perform…Again
After the debacle that was last week, all seven contestants are back to perform tonight. They will be singing 2 songs each. One song from “now” (2000 – 2012) and a soul standard from “then”. Appropriately, Ryan opens the show with a shout out to Dick Clark who passed away earlier today at the age of 82. Then he moves on to the performances…there will be 14 of them tonight (the most for an episode). Hollie Cavanagh (Rolling in the [...]

Gleecap – Saturday Night Glee-ver
Bringing disco to the 21st century – if anyne can do it, it’s the producers of Glee. The kids apparently have no direction and with graduation just around the corner – that is apparently a problem. Open on Blaine, Mike Chang and Brittany perform “You Should Be Dancing” (Bee Gees) – they are going to try to bring “vintage” Nationals. Will is concerned that at three of his seniors (Finn, Santana and Mercedes) have no direction or vision for their [...]

American Idol 11 – Surprising Bottom Three
In the wackiest Bottom 3 since Season Three (when Jennifer Hudson was unceremoniously sent home), we found Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez and Elise Testone in the bottom spots! These three are arguably some of the best singers in this competition. Then – in an even crazier twist, Joshua and Elise are told they are safe – leaving Jessica Sanchez to sing for her life. “I’ve never seen this happen,” an irate Randy said of having two frontrunners – Jessica and [...]

GLEEcap – Big Brother
After a fairly long hiatus that ended with a texting nightmare of a cliffhanger, Glee is finally back. In the first minutes of the episode we find out that Quinn has a compressed spine and has to be in a wheelchair. Apparently she is beginning to have feeling in her toes and feels as if she will be up and performing by Nationals. She and Artie perform I’m Still Standing (Elton John) and she puts on a overly brave face (it seems). [...]

American Idol 11 – And Then There Were Seven
I’m not sure who’s going home – but judging from the feedback from some of my Idol lovin friends, they don’t love DeAndre. These friends of mine tend to represent the tastes of America and I am hoping they are wrong – but, they could be right. As they head to the first break, they show a sneak peek of J Lo’s new video for Dance Again. It is pretty steamy and features an awful lot of camera time of her [...]
