Yeah he died, but what about the dog? Image Courtesy of NY Daily News
It was the most anticipated finale for this season. I don’t know what the writers or J.J. Abrams was smoking but it definitely made them forget to finish the damn series correctly. Why were there polar bears on a tropical island? Why did Jacob pick them? How did the plane go down? For real. Don’t tell me about Desmond not pressing the button again. What happened to the dog? Why wasn’t Walter and his son there? Why didn’t Jacob’s brother have a name? I could go on…but I digress. Some questions were answered and it was nice to see everyone back together again. It was bittersweet to learn the demise of Jack and the rest of the survivors and I will miss this tv show with all my heart.

Liam Neeson in Clash of the Titans (2010) releases the Kraken
I was so psyched to see the new version of the cheesy 80’s movie I loved so much. And I really wanted to see Sam Worthington naked. Well, you don’t see him naked, but you do see him kick ass. He has an unpolished charm as Perseus that engages you, and makes up for the mediocre script. Gemma Arterton travels with him as Io, mortal who was cursed to never age. Apparently, she also has the ability to avoid dirt, stains, or bruises and can smuggle clean clothes anywhere. They were in some kind of ditch and she rolls out in a clean toga with a cashmere shawl. Where the hell did she pack that outfit? Perseus and the other men looked like they have been fighting for days, and her makeup was perfect. Liam Neeson, as Zeus, lets Hades release the Kraken, and the king of Argos has to sacrifice his daughter Andromeda to it so save the city. I’m sorry, did Hades think the beautiful princess would satiate the Kraken’s appetite? I don’t think she would be enough. That thing was huge. It took five minutes of the film just to surface from the sea. Andromeda is like half a potato chip, not even a full appetizer for this thing. I believe a handful of Pegasi, some maidens and a small army would cover the daily caloric intake for a Kraken not just one measly princess. But I digress…The fight scenes were enough to move the plot forward and the director’s interpretation of Mt. Olympus was beautiful. I suggest saving your money and see the movie in 2D. They filmed the movie in 2D and then added the 3D components after, so it may not look as good as Avatar.

Ugly Betty RIP 2006-2010 courtesy TheInsider.com
It’s true. Ugly Betty will be laid to rest mid-April. I don’t know if it was the ratings or the moving slots, but Betty is gone! Saving Grace, Three Rivers and The Tudors will meet their makers later this year, and Nip/Tuck has already had it’s last breath. We all know that Lost is kaput, so what else is there to watch? Well, I love Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy is still going strong. There is still hope…

Zoe Saldana at the Oscars 2010, courtesy of The Washington Post
It was my favorite awards show, the Oscars and man was it a good ride. Two hosts are not better than one, I mean Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were funny, but why are they together? Were they trying to sell the It’s Complicated dvd? We need one host, and dammit, get Neil Patrick Harris for next year. That mofo is a gay Billy Crystal: funny, charming, and not to mention, he can sing and dance. But I digress…I predicted The Hurt Locker would win, as well as Mo’Nique and Sandra Bullock. I did not expect The Hurt Locker to win for Best Picture. I thought they would throw Avatar or Inglorious Basterds a bone. I did not predict Zoe Saldana would wear a dress that looks like Cookie Monster was eating Snuffleupagus. Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress needs to make up it’s mind: you are backless, halter or a long evening gown; decide! And what the hell, why were Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur cut from the memoriam segment? Then there was the woman who suffered from Kanye West Syndrome. Elinor Burkett interrupted Roger Ross Williams’ acceptance speech, and started talking crazy talk. I just think that this year’s Oscars was a bowl of fun!

There were not too many upsets this year, except in the Dramatic Actor category. I didn’t expect Michael C. Hall to win, let alone John Lithgow for Dexter, but damn. And there was no love for True Blood, so I was disappointed. I was surprised that Courtney Cox-Arquette was nominated for CougarTown. It is a great show with cheesiness wrapped up in meaningful vignettes, but it doesn’t have as much gusto as Modern Family. But I digress…Ricky Gervais was awesome and hysterical, especially when he just massacred Mel Gibson’s drinking troubles. I cannot wait for his new show, aptly titled The Ricky Gervais Show, to hit HBO later this year.
