Fringe

Informal Synopsis-
The previously unexplainable is now explained. Well, sort of.
Agent Dunham is the distant but charming type of FBI gal. She is shocked to find that her world was never as safe as she thought. The more she dives into this unnatural world the more she finds comforting about it. Early on, Peter Bishop and his scientist father also come into the picture and shake up Agent Dunham's memories of her troubled and abnormal past. Life was never simple but now it is plain difficult.

Better Off Ted

Better Off Ted is deadly. The level of humor that it brings to the table is outlandish and out of this world. I am stricken by its exciting and brilliant twists whenever they occur, however frequent they are or are not in each episode. I am bewildered by how in depth the characters are explained in even the beginning of the series. The craziest thing is how much goes on in each 20 ish- minute chapter of the show. The characters are not all relatable to but with any extreme behavior follows extreme LOLing. No joke. When watching this show, the only time that I don't laugh is when I am watching it with my laptop in a public place (it's definitely not the embarrassment factor that gets to me but the fact that people often interrupt me and ask me what is so funny). "Don'innerupt... Rude"- as said by Bon Qui Qui of MADtv. JK.
Well, back to the show. I am not one to dis a show but when a show is well worth praise then I am happy to do so. Better Off Ted is absolutely one of those certain phenomenon, which are brilliant and are entertaining to watch at the same time.
Informal Synopsis-
Big businesses have never been the most pleasant places to work but Veridian Dynamics is almost toxic. Ted is just about a model employee, and a single dad. His only problem is his pesky conscience that just won't stop. And the name of his conscience? Well it's Linda, a beautiful down to earth "beautifully normal" lovable employee of Ted. Something horrific and awkward might happen so it's Better Off Ted.

Chuck is a spy....

I have recently become a big fan of the show Chuck. I was at a loss for words when I finished the second season, with its magnificent twists and turns which swept me along with its terrific plot.
It was a pleasant surprise how great the show is to watch and dive into. At times, I thought that I could have been withdrawn from reality and sucked into the Buy More where Chuck works.
If only it had truly happened, because when I found myself in front of my computer again at the end of each episode it could've been compared to an addict's withdraw, well with less convulsions and throwing up.
If you like spending some of your free time relaxing and watching some extraordinary television, you should definitely take a look, or an extremely long stare, at Chuck.
Keep at it until the end of Season 2 and be anticipating Season 3 like no other.
2 Thumbs Up! for Chuck and his handlers.

New Moon

It's hard to say how you feel about a movie that is based off of a book series that you finished reading a couple years ago. I am not one for bragging about or throwing my opinion into someone else's face, but it is hard to keep it within my own person.
I was excited to see the movie, and gladly paid the outrageous 9.50 for my ticket. I found my friend and we went inside the theater. The movie previews seemed go on forever and the movie could not have began slower in my mind. I anticipated the beginning scene more than any other.
When New Moon came onto the screen, I was already starting to do doubt the amount that I had paid to get in. I leaned back into my chair, although I hadn't noticed my leaning forward. I was ready to soak up everything.
I watched and paid attention. Most of the acting was above what I had seen in the first installment of the movie saga, known by the first book's title Twilight. I was bored at times, while at other times I was in a state of euphoria.
Although it could have been better, it wasn't altogether that bad. I actually think that the "Saga" has shown a lot of improvement, when this movie is compared to the last.
Oh and if you think that you are engaged to an actor you have never met before, I think you should get some serious and professional help. I am only partially joking.
