Spartacus Finale – Revenge is Sweet

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

The build up to the Spartacus Finale was weeks in the making there were so many people that were looking for revenge. The people who seen advanced copies said that if you thought the violence was too much, this episode was going to make those look like a Disney movie. The finale can only be described in one word Awesome. Everything you thought could happen, everything you hoped would did, everyone that deserved to be killed was, and the series can move to the next part of Spartacus life. Spartacus was real and history books tells us after he slaughtered everyone in the ludus located outside Capua including slave owner Lentulus Batiatus, he become leader of an army of close to 70,000 men. The speech he gave in the final scene is the beginning of the legend of Spartacus. The alliance created between Crixus and Oenomaus to draft the plan and execute it to perfection. The best part of the final episode was the revenge of the people wronged, Crixus killing his baby in Lucretia, Aurelia wife of Varro killing Numerius, Ilithyia leaving them all to die by locking them in the lodus, and watching Spartacus slice Lentulus Batiatus throat while his wife last breathe. There is some intrigue as Ashur and Ilithyia were the only two that were not killed on screen. We are not sure where they go from here for the next season but Kill Them All will go down as one of the best finales we have ever seen.

We wanted to let you know about a school that is growing by leaps and bounds. Regency Beauty Institute which was founded more than 50 years ago in Minneapolis is the fastest growing beauty school in the country. They have a unique learning system with stunning facilities that encourage learning. Regency has expanded from two Minnesota schools in 2002 to almost 30 campuses across nine states, with continued growth underway for next year. You can even check out the Cosmetology school in Michigan and as far west as Arizona. Another great reason to go to Regency is they have assembled a dedicated Career Services team that works closely with the students and hundreds of industry partners, bringing experts to the campuses to speak, demonstrate, and mix and mingle with the rising stars of tomorrow. As part of their training, students provide high-quality, discounted salon services to the public under expert faculty supervision.

Date Night Opens Friday April 9th

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine.We wanted to let you know about the new movie Date Night which opens this weekend on Friday April 9, 2010. Date Night Movie is going to be the runaway hit everyone will be talking about when you get to work on Monday. We know this because it stars two of the funniest and biggest stars from both the big and small screens Steve Carell from the Office and Get Smart and Tina Fey from 30 Rock and Baby Mama. If you have seen any of the previews you know that the movie has parts for Mark Wahlberg, Leighton Meester, Mark Ruffalo, Mila Kunis, and James Franco with an all-star cast, this is going to a be a winner. The plot of Date Night is about a couple from the suburbs the Fosters, Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) is doing their routine which is a weekly dinner date. This weekend they are in for a lot more than usual. As the night turns into weight more than the couple are used to have happen to them. The high jinks that ensue have them engaging in things a normal date night does not include, breaking and entering, car chases and even a shootout. This move is going to be great because you can even in the previews the chemistry between Carell and Fey is magic. One can only watch and hope that this husband and wife team comes out of the adventure with only some scratches and we hope they find a renewed love in the wild adventure.

TV Shows on the Bubble

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

We are now in April so we can finally see which shows is on the bubble at the networks here is a quick list. First up is the CW they have Life Unexpected which has been pulling 2.3 million viewers per episode; we would think that is pretty good for this network. The polar opposite is Melrose Place with an average of 1.3 million viewers and Heather Lockler the kiss of the death. One Tree Hill after seven season looks like the end is near. NBC has not renewed Chuck, Heroes, Law & Order, Mercy, Parenthood or Trauma. The crazy folks over at Fox are usually quick to pull the trigger they are leaving Human Target, Lie to Me and Sons of Tucson. The surprise is Lie To Me which average 10 million viewers last year. This year they are off by a couple of million from that number and could be their swan song. ABC has made no offers to pick up Castle, FlashForward, The Forgotten, and V for another season. V has only has four shows and needs to do good numbers in April to save a slot. Castle has a strong following there will be a big write in campaign to save the show. The biggest surprises are from CBS where that have not made offers to Accidentally on Purpose, Cold Case, Gary Unmarried, Medium, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Numb3rs. These shows would be winners on any other network but on CBS they might not make the grade. The watch is on and we will keep you posted.

THE PERFECT MOMENT NEVER ENDS

Monday, March 29th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Global Purpose. All opinions are 100% mine.We love to point out the power of the Internet. Sometimes it is so big and vast it blows us away. That is how we feel about Boom! They say it started with a bang in 2005 and four years later in 2009 it suddenly included a whole album of music. The biggest push was over the last week when they rolled out the an online marketing campaign with simple banner ads giant bold letters that spelled “GLOBAL SONGS” in the New York Times online. You can check it out at THE PERFECT MOMENT NEVER ENDS and see it for yourself. The best part is the vision that started so long ago it now a reality. When you believe in the premise of ONE WORLD, Earth, ONE SOLUTION, ONE SONG you can believe anything is possible. Every Single Problem Is Explained in Detail, if you are not intrigued so far check out “One” the song from the Album: Population of Paradise from Rockefeller Aldrich Kennedy-Popton (also known as Rocky Pop) This is not just a fad this brainstorming on an epic level. They have opened a door to a world of hope where every person can have a voice, and they should. The truth is if we sit around and wait for change it may never happen, “It’s Up to Us to Change the World”. The bottom line is it does not matter what the change is the only bad thing is to do nothing. They have links to let you share with every media and social network. This is our turn, it is our time and to sit idly by will only let down the generations to come.

American Idol Jump the Shark

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Season nine of American Idol has been bad. There have been bad seasons before Fantasia beating DiGarmo and Hicks beating McPhee. We say this because none of them lived up to winning like Clarkson, Underwood, or even none winner Daughtry. This season the talent might be the worst ever. Could it be they have drained the cities where they audition by process they use to find talent. Let us put the past behind us and look at the dim future of the show. As a guest mentor they picked Miley Cryus, really, they claim at 17, she knows the business, the fact is she is a Disney product and Disney knows the business. They package her songs into the show, so they sell. They package her as a performer so kids pay to see her sing. There are only two girls worth watching perform this season and one might never sell a record. There are only two guys worth watching perform and neither might sell a record. The judges table is a mess Kara is hung up on meaning of the song and staying far away from Ellen. As much as they try to build up Ellen as a judge, she has brought nothing to the show. Randy is just happy not to be playing bass somewhere and Simon is on his way out. This leaves the prospect of next year grim for America. That being said 22.57 million viewers still tuned in last week for two hours. We have not heard Seacrest start a result show by saying “30 million votes last night,” which is the true test if people are vested or just watching. Sitting here it jumped the shark when Miley Cryus was named a mentor.

Nurse Jackies Returns Tonight

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

After the first twelve episodes of Nurse Jackie last season we were hooked. This is where we left off and what we know. Jackie was jealous of Jenny Flynn the mom from the kids tap class because Jenny went out with her husband Kevin. Which is odd as she is having an affair with Eddie who went to the bar before it open and was invited by Kevin to sit down. The nurse Zoey, who has put a patient in the coma with the wrong dose of pain medication. Dr. Cooper knows Jackie broke her own finger. She calls him a moron, and just to confuse him, she kisses him. Eleanor tells Jackie she is illegaly having her comatose mother shipped in from England and needs Jackie’s help to enter her as a “Jane Doe” found in a park. One of the best lines of the season “I’m already on the hook for one coma, what’s one more?” says Jackie. In the pharmacy, Jackie tries the unplug-the-machine trick Eddie showed her. She waits for it to reboot and it does not work. She calls Eddie and leaves a message asking him to call. In the bar, Eddie ignores Jackie calling on his cell. He orders a shot of Jack. Kevin joins in. Jackie again tries the Pill-o-Matix. She unplugs but when she plugs it back in an alarm goes off. Jackie flees in panic. Cooper holds up Mo Mo’s phone and kisses him as Jackie walks by and Cooper is flustered. Mo Mo now knows Cooper is hot for Jackie. Nutterman wakes from the coma and cannot remember anything about his past. A really drunk Eddie walks in ER and Akalitus threatens to call security. He says before he leaves to Jackie that he met Kevin. Leaving Jackie frozen heading to the pharmacy where she kicks the machine. Then she punches in her code and orders three vials of injectable morphine sulfate. She finds an empty room and shuts the door, taking a deep breath. She sits on the floor, pops the cap off a vial and takes all three doses, she lies back on the floor. She sees Grace and Kevin in a perfect world as she sings “Have you Ever Seen the Rain”. The new season starts tonight with the episode Comfort Food.

Gossip Girl Ends Winter Session with Drama

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

We wanted to catch up on one of shows Gossip Girl and recap the end of 2009. We like the show still uses Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite. The show has moved away from Gossip Girl as she no longer has the 411 on the characters dirty and juicy gossip. The show still does end with X.O.X.O Gossip Girl, but it is clear the storyline is no longer guided by the Gossip Girl. The scenes are longer away from the fast switching of the past and the Gossip Girl dropped in comments no longer drive the show or the reactions. There was even a point in the congressman scandal where Gossip Girl was named as a third reference for getting the damaging video Serena and Trip the congressman in the elevator. There also have been multiple references to TMZ. The story has fractured into three groups, the kids at NYU, the kids in the business world, the kids back at Constance. The plots jump back and forth and adding the parents in where needed. The role of the parents has taken a back seat this season. We did enjoy the last episode of the winter session where all four groups tried for a Thanksgiving holiday at the new Rufus House. This was a disaster and the turkey on the table was never even carved. We look forward to where Dan and Nate find themselves. The character of the season so far is Dan. He has had a relationship with Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg), Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff) and included a threesome with Olivia and Vanessa. College years are good for him. The other question is will Serena ever make a good choice as she has not sober or sober.

Glee picked up for 2nd season

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

We were not sure how this one was going to although we think a Peoples Choice Award did not hurt. Fox has picked up the music-themed drama series “Glee” for a second season. The first episode of Glee was aired after the finale of Season 8 of American Idol in May of 2009. Fox left the show up on the website to view all summer. The numbers for Glee were not great and there was talk that it might not make it. Fox split the season into two half the first ended in December and the second half does not kick off until April 13, 2010. The show has made a huge splash on iTunes where songs from the show each week were highly downloaded. There have been two soundtracks released which both are in the Billboard Top 20 as of last week. So it really is no wonder the show was picked up for a second season. The question remains if the audience will grow or is it just an online audience. In other Glee news, they are having open auditions to fill three parts in Season two. Anybody can enter and win, all you have to do is send in an audition tape to the Fox website.

American Idol Back on Fox Tonight

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Well tonight kicks of season nine of American Idol and it is going to be the biggest year yet. This is not because of the talent, the format or the guests, this is due to the show might be ready to jump the shark. How do you like your subplots because there are plenty? The biggest is a season without Paula Abdul will she be missed? Will Karen Dioguardi step up to fill the void this year in just her second season? Since Simon has said next year is his last, does he play out the string on his way out? Then when we get to Hollywood week, we get our first look at Ellen Degeneres who admits she knows nothing about singing. Her talent as judge is to look at what she likes as longtime fan of the show. When you think back to the last eight seasons, we find only two winners worth any mention, first season winner Kelly Clarkson and fourth season winner Carrie Underwood. You could argue who is better as Carrie will probably be around longer but would there even be a Carrie if it were not for Kelly. If you take the top ten there have been 80 contestants and we know there is success for others like Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Kelli Pickler and Jordin Sparks but after eight season and all America has invested are we really getting our entertainment emotional investment return, and the bigger question is America ready to stop making the investment.

Big Love Returns to HBO Sunday Jan 10th

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Big Love returns for a new season on HBO so we though we would catch up with our favorite polygamist TV family. The last season ended with Ted thanking Bill for getting his daughter back safely, Bill tell him about his end around he pulled of at BYU and the church would make his problem with Ted go away. Selma gave her statement about Roman’s role in Kathy’s accident/death. Roman who was not going to home long before the murder indictment was served picks up his guitar to play, and then Joey who is full of rage suffocates Roman as he struggles to breathe. Bill returns home and asks Ben to get bread and a pitcher of water. Everyone in the backyard as he tells the family he has claimed the authority for a new church, “born of necessity.” All the present Henricksons take communion, and then Nicki returned home, she brought with her Cara Lynn. They fled the compound without anyone seeing them during the stir over Roman She turns to everyone coming clean and introduces her daughter to the family, Barb is the first followed by the rest to welcome her back. That is where we are and we are ready to go, pop the popcorn, and turn down the lights because this season is going to be hot.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

We at the tea512 would like to wish all the readers, passers by, family, coworkers and friends a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for many things mostly to be alive and well in this great country. There are so many things to be thankful for, like family and friends. We are also thankful that no matter who is running the country what we stand for as Americans is the greatest place to be on earth. This year we are wanted to just let everyone know is we appreciate all the readership, comments, emails, tweets and everything that makes being here at the tea512 a funs place to be. Thanksgiving is a great day because the Dallas Cowboys always play; the Detroit Lions will also play so a holiday with football is great to be thankful about. This is one of those holidays that you remember as kid growing up, you remember as a teenager trying to get out hanging with friends. Then in your twenties when you have the uncomfortable first times with new family of your girlfriend, or bringing your girlfriend home for her first holiday with your family. Then when you have your own family bringing your kids in tow as your table expands. Then when you reach that age where you want to stay at your own home, carve your own turkey, stay at the head of your table you realize what you are truly thankful. Whatever stage you are we hope you have a Happy, Healthy and Fun Thanksgiving.

Son of Anarchy two episodes two go

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

We are avid watchers of the FX show Sons of Anarchy the second season has been building and getting better with each show. The last two shows have been some of the best drama television available. We are amazed at the quality of the shows from FX when you think about The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me and SOA, you have to be impressed. If you have missed the run of SOA it is a show that tries to bring you inside the life of a motorcycle club. On the surface it is guns, bikes, dirty boys, dirty girls and violence. Under the hood it is about the relationships of the members, their families, and neighbors. When we speak of neighbors it is more about the relationship between the club and the police. The club provides protection to the town they do not allow drugs, gangs, or criminals to enter the town and vigilante justice if they do. This of course makes them fans to the community, as much as the police know they are committing as much crime as they prevent. The show dynamic will draw you in as there are people you cheer for as well as bad guys to hate. Inside the club like any business organization there is infighting, power struggles; business deals pros and cons, and alliances. This show is building to a huge finale and a lot of character arcs are coming to head at once. Check out Sons of Anarchy Tuesday nights on FX.

Kill Bill Three in 2014

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

We were excited to find that it looks like there will be a Kill Bill Three. The first two Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, originally premiered in 2003 and 2004 and had a world wide gross or more than $332 million dollars. The projected release date he is shooting for is 2014. The only nugget that is out so far is “Kill Bill: Vol. 3″ will be ten years after the end of Kill Bill Vol. 2. There will be no way to use the deseasaed David Carradine the original Bill and they are being tight lipped about if they have scenes from the first two movies in the can. Setting the movies forward ten years will give Uma Thurman who plays The Bride, the main character to have had time past from her revenge mission. Kill Bill was conceived as one film, but it was released as two separate ‘volumes’ due to its running time of approximately four hours. The movie pays homage to earlier film genres, Hong Kong martial arts movies, Japanese Chanbara films, exploitation films and Italian spaghetti westerns. We have been a big fan of Quentin Tarantino and have enjoyed anything he has put his fingerprint on. We believe that if he has more stories to tell for the Bride then it is going to be as good as the first. After the Bride kills Bill with the secret Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, she is seen driving away with her daughter. There is a trail of unhappy people behind including Vernita Green played by Vivica A. Fox. It was her four year old daughter that The Bride told that if she ever wanted revenge for killing her mother she would understand.

Gwen Stefani No Doubt vs. Activision Band Hero

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

It turns out that No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani is the only person on the planet that has never seen Guitar Hero. The band sign a nice lucrative deal to get money form the sale of the game Band Hero. They even went as far to put on the suit and create avatars for use in the game. They only gave a couple of songs and it turns out they though that was when those avatars would be used. If you ever played Guitar Hero you know the pace dictates you play four or five songs, so if you were going to be No Doubt you are going to run out of songs. The song in the set list is the Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Women. Gwen Stefani and her legal team call this an unauthorized performance by the Gwen Stefani avatar in a male voice boasting about having sex with prostitutes. The lawsuit also claims that No Doubt objected to the “Character Manipulation Feature. Activision refused to remove and says that it’s not at fault as they have a “written agreement” with No Doubt that justifies the use of its likeness in various features in the game. Get this part No Doubt is asking for unspecified damages, as well as a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction against distribution of the game and for Activision to recall existing copies. Come on Gwen you were on hiatus for five years and you have not put out any new music as No Doubt in a longer time. The band reformed and could not create any new music so they ran around the country playing shows for cash. Then they sell out to the latest trend master tracks to video games as a new revenue stream and they want to kill the golden goose.

Glee First Season – Second Season???

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The Fox show Glee is a crash between High School Musical and Juno. That is really the only way we can describe. The show has anywhere from 4-6 musical numbers, were there is spontaneous outbursts into music. Most of the time is it either rehearsal for show or an actual stage performance. The debut of the show was after the American Idol finale for season eight. The show episode two debuted this fall and has had a reorder for a full season. The show is not lighting up rating last week it did a 3.3/9 share and finished third in the 9pm timeslot, thee show has not cracked the top 25 yet this season. There are two things this show does have going for it, first it is selling a bunch of songs on iTunes every week, we are not sure if that is enough to get picked up for a second season but it cannot hurt. The other thing is the character played by Jamie Lynch as Sue Sylvester. This reminds me of the character Arie in Entourage, it is a supporting cast position but shines so bright the scenes are the most memorable. We watch the show Glee and the show has a weal plot of a pregnancy running through it, but the singing and pop music is the highlight each week. The show as the season has pressed on has added more vocals and styles by other members of the Glee club which has helped the show with choice of songs and dimension. It will be interesting to see if a show can survive on one strong character and iTunes sales to get a season two. The ratings say this should be scraped as it follows So You Thin You can Dance which is also finding rough sledding as a fall show. We wonder if when American Idol returns if following that could drive up the ratings and save the second season.

Rescue Me Season Five Finale

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Everything that comes around goes around. Tommy who finally found a woman to love, Kelly has that destroyed by Shelia and Janet. The chain played out Tommy told Lou his new loves secret that was over heard by Damien who told his mother that set up the meeting with Shelia and Janet and the intervention with Kelly. Tommy enraged at the two of them kidnaps his daughter and leaves Sheila handcuffed to the bed for her son Damien to find. Teddy shot Tommy twice and was watching him bleed out behind the bar. Teddy said he blamed nobody for his wife’s death then shot Tommy because he pulled all the Gavin’s off the wagon. In the end, Shelia and Janet are left humiliated; Damien because he is no longer trusted was not in the final scene and could be shunned by the crew for being a momma’s boy. The only question is will Tommy bleed out and die on the bar room floor or be saved. The show has been renewed for a final 19 episodes. There is talk of a plan to air the series finale on 9/11/11 ten years after 9/11/01. This was a long 23-episode season and it was tied up nicely in the end with a good cliffhanger, leaving you with speculation until the return of more tales from Firehouse 62.
