I will admit it, I have spent each season of Dancing with the Stars, veering as far away from ABC as possible. I have mocked it, ridiculed it and even gone so far as to compare it to the modern day Hollywood Squares. During the first string of advertisements so many summers ago, I was certain it was a bomb.
But the world loves it…
And I just assumed that I was the last sane one standing… (well, me and all of the other smart people who boycott DWTS.)

Somewhere along the line though, post arm injury, I have had to rest a lot. While resting I have caught up on movies (Little Children, The Painted Vail, and a few others) watched some old cheesy favorites (Clueless, The Perfect Man.) and I have seen more television than I typically like.
Tonight I was sucked into the last 30 minutes of Dancing With the Stars…

Although I don’t think I could watch an entire season, I will admit I was fairly impressed. It is a little different than I thought I was and so, to everyone reading this, I retract my years of cynicism and negative remarks aimed at the show. They were uneducated words… To those of you who love the show as if it were ripped from your very own womb, I am sorry for hurting your feelings.

1- First soccer game was won! 6-0. Hurrah! That kid was incredibly aggressive but managed to grasp the idea of T-E-A-M so that was excellent.

2- Lost… OH MY GOSH… I watched it alone, and spent the entire 45 minutes exploring a range of emotion. Fear, Excitement, Relief, Fear (from the suspense, and Jacob), Fear, Anger, Satisfaction, Repulsion,Rage and I will admit I was a little scared… :) Seriously, I have got to talk about this with someone. Anyone.

Yes, I stayed up…
Yes, I watched it…
Yes, I think it was great. (MUCH better than last weeks ridiculous episode.)

I still think they should wrap it up. Finish strong… My two cents, as much as i love this show, is that another year is a big mistake.

ok… If you liked The Lakehouse, suffice it to say you would love Premonition. Both are erratic, inconsistent and tragically flawed.

The only way either film is redeemable, is if your brain goes entirely numb while watching a movie, and therefore you need nothing to fit together.

If you tend to think/feel/want to follow a movie at all, steer clear of this one! (and use all of that positive energy to hope that Sandra Bullock decides to choose a movie that makes a smidgen of sense.)

“So there you have it. My girlfriend became my Arch-Nemesis, My Nemesis became my Best friend and My Best friend became my girlfriend. But, I guess that’s high school…”

I was watching snippets of “Sky High” with Genny, and naturally this wasn’t a film which impressed or convicted me. Even so, this sentence made me smile from somewhere deep with in. That is high school, and sadly it sums of the ridiculous high-school-like clique’s and drama that we trip over in adulthood as well.

Moral of the story: Don’t underestimate a cheesy kids movie, it may have some royal gem hiding between the lines.
