Smallville S07E04 Cure


Dr. Curtis Knox says he can "cure" someone from being a "meteor freak," changing their lives. Chloe takes an interest in this, but Dr. Knox may have another secret. Meanwhile, Kara makes an alliance with Jimmy while Lana secretly watches Lex.

Dean Cain guest stars this episode as Dr. Curtis Knox(CK get it?). Imust say he is in good form and looks more super on this episode than Clark himself. Lana hides something from Clark and Jimmy and Chloe break it off. We also learn this episode that Kara's father tried to assasinate Jor-el as told by the Martian Manhunter and the Kent reunion is over as Kara flies off. Good episode but its another filler episode if you would with the standard freak of the week.

The Office S04E04 Money


This episode Michael has money problems and has to take on anther job as a telemarketer to fund the costly renovations of Jan. Jim and Pam take their first trip together on The Schroot Bed and Breakfast, as they watch Dwight still not over Angela. This is compounded by Andy giving Angela a cat(which looks like the same cat Dwight tried to replace Sprinkles with). Angela accepts the gift and agrees to go out on a date with Andy, this sends Dwight crying but unexpectedly finds comfort in Jim who he himself realizes what he went through before with Pam getting married almost and values what he has with Pam now more. In the end the old Dwight is back and Michael and Jan work it through to save money but Michael doesn't want her to give up the implants Because he likes them. Oscar was the main helper of Michael surprisingly through his whole ordeal. Simply good television if you ask me.

Movie : License To Wed


adie Jones (Mandy Moore) has always longed to marry the man of her dreams in her family church. Though she has found her lifetime companion in Ben Murphy (John Krasinski), Sadie is distressed to learn that St. Augustine's has only one wedding slot available over the next two years, though after re-checking their planning book, they find that the wedding can be held in three weeks. While Sadie and Ben do qualify for the slot, the church's eccentric minister, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), will not wed the couple until they agree to attend his prenuptial course (shortened, due to the new date, from three months to three weeks). Now as their wedding date draws near, Sadie and Ben must attend every one of Reverend Frank's unusual classes and complete a series of homework assignments designed specifically to irritate one another — in order to get past puppy love and ensure that their union will have a sound foundation.

I don't know why this movie got low box office because i enjoyed it. I mean Jim from "The Office" is in it and some other cameo's from Angela, Kevin and Kelly Kapur was great. Mandy Moore is reason enough to watch it, she looks good in this one, and the humor is something like the office which i love, the only thing that didn't work for me was the corny jokes of Robin Williams who clearly has seen better days and that kid he is with, he's just creepy like the twin robot baby's. The movie gets a lower score because of them but this movie is watchable and funny and true at times.

Journeyman S01E04 The Year of the Rabbit


While Katie sets up for her big charity event, she is stunned to find that Dan has yet again disappeared. This time around, Dan travels back to the year 1995 in order to help a woman on a blind date, but when Livia arrives to assist Dan with his mission she seems more interested in Dan's relationship with Katie.

In this episode the rift between Katie and Dan get bigger as Katie learns that Olivia is with Dan in his travels. Also this episode marks the first inkling as to the origins of Dans ability because his father and this other doctor was working on some kind of time machine. We also learn that Dan can kill if he had to in the past. Nice episode which is why this series is gaining a good following. A good story with the thrill of science fiction in the back burner.

P.S. Love the Ally Mcbeal throw back as Dan was in 1996 i think

How I Met Your Mother S03E04 Little Boys


In this episode Ted and Barney go for the same girl just to prove who's got more game as marshall convinces them that he is not irrelevant to the whole "got game " scenario. but in the end Ted brakes up from his almost win when can't seem to get over Barney sleeping with the girl before him which is of course a lie so Barney can win. Robin dates a guy with a kid set up by Lily. Even though she hates kids, she ends up regreting it because the kid breaks up with instead of the other way around. Not too funny episode for me.

Movie : Ratatouille


Pixar does it again, i thought Toy Story was the best ever when it came out but Pixar just keeps upping up the ante. Ratatouille is a movie about Remi the rat and his struggle to find himself and all this set in a famous restaurant in Paris. You might cringe at the thought of rats in a restaurant and even the restaurant gets closed down for that reason, but the moral is no matter how rich or poor or whatever you believe you are in life, it is not a reason to stop going for what you really want. In todays society where we are used to conforming to the standards we believe set for us, the movie deffers and teaches us to value ourselves and self worth. Ratatouille telss us to go for our dreams and not merely accpet our current status and with that the movie succeeds for me.

Movie : Trade


This is a really good movie, it stops and make you think that while you are doing your daily routine, there are 1 million persons bieng traded around in the world for forced sex. This movie shows the inner workings of sex trafficking in Mexico. This movie should teach us that if we are to work on another country, we have to make sure that the peope helping us get there, will not exploit us in the end. The only recognizable character i know in Trade is Kevin Kline yet all the other cast give outstanding performances. It really makes you think, especially the scenes where they rent out the girl in the middle of nowhere where numerous assholes do their deed in makeshift huts with egg timers as watches. Thought provoking and you haven't seen it then you should, it wont give you special effects or fancy fight scenes, but i gaurantee you it will make you think...The simple story of a brother finding his sister will get you thinking even long after you have seen this movie.......

Trade............9/10

Smallville S07E03 Fierce



this episode focuses on supergirl fitting in with the humans in Smallville, i kind a like her, she looks good but sometimes she looks awkward in delivering her lines
it looks like Kara has a crush on Jimmy too....
she enters into the Smallville Miss Sweet Corn and finds miss meteor freaks who are thieves apparently
oh and Lana is back in Smallville so get ready for poorly delivered lines and cheesy moments
and they also delve into the government and extra terestrial connection thing
they also find a new kryptonian symbol apparently a distress signal left in Smallville 100 years ago, I'm betting it came from brainiac though, over all a good episode with some lacking moments but hey Smallville would not be in its seventh season if its no good

Smallville S07E03 Fierce 7/10 rating

P.S. she looks hot in that bikini hehehe.........

Desperate Housewives Racial Slur

MANILA -– MalacaƱang demanded Wednesday an apology from ABC network and producers of “Desperate Housewives” for the racial slur against Filipino medical practitioners that was aired on the show’s 4th season premier last September 30.

The issue, which has drawn flak from concerned viewers, stemmed from a remark made by Susan Mayer, a character being played by actress Teri Hatcher, when she visited the office of Dr. Adam Mayfair, played by Nathan Fillion.

Join forum on Sandiganbayan's guilty verdict on Estrada plunder case. Post comments here.

In the scene, Dr. Mayfair told Mayer that the word “menopause" opens a Pandora’s Box for the age-conscious middle-aged woman.

But Mayer cut him short, saying: “Before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? 'Coz, I just want to make sure they’re not from some med school in the Philippines."

“On the face, we can look at it as a racial slur. Masyado naman tayong minamaliit yata,” Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said in his weekly press conference.

Ermita said there are a lot of Filipino medical professionals abroad, especially the US and “it's enough to say that they have acquitted themselves in that profession.”

“I would not wish to think that it is a US government policy, hindi naman siguro. But in a democratic system, everyone can say what he thinks he must say. And take the consequence out of their words or action,” he said.

Ermita asked civil society groups in the Philippines and in the US to call the attention of the people responsible for the slur.

He said the remark runs contrary to the fact that a Filipina nurse named Lily Lara has been chosen as one of the top 10 nurses in the US.

Asked whether MalacaƱang would demand an apology, he said: “Yes. I think we should. In behalf of our Filipino professionals.”

In Cagayan de Oro, new city hospital chief Dr. Dures Fe Escarro Tagayuna joined other city-based doctors in denouncing the said episode of Desperate Housewives.

Tagayuna, in a TV interview, said Mayer’s remark on Filipino doctors is a “national embarrassment” and should be rectified.

"I know of Filipino doctors abroad who worked in top hospitals and they (have excelled in their jobs) so I don't know where this comes from," said Tagayuna, who also chaired the Misamis Oriental Medical Society.

The Department of Foreign Affairs, on the other hand, filed a protest against the US TV network.

Criticisms against the TV program have also been mounting in an online petition. (Sunnex/With SC of Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro)
