The Tudors

Season three of the Tudors was pretty good but after the season two season finale cliffhanger well a pretty good performance as opposed to an amazing performance is to be expected, however I am looking forward to season four.  Season four is the final season and that is sure to be an amazing performance because the cliffhangers produced in the second and first season may only have been a tease.  King Henry lived a tumultuous life and it is depicted throughout the series but the last season should be the most amazing.  I am awaiting my purchase from Amazon through the mail.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

The Muppet Christmas Carol was probably the highlight of my Christmas in terms of movies about Christmas.  Overall it is just a fantastic film and I recommend it to anyone who has a smidgen of English heritage as it chronicles a man named Ebenezer Scrooge and his Christmas tale.  It is really an outstanding film and for anyone who is unfamiliar well it is a film brought to life in the early nineties and it lasts throughout the ages.  So much so that Disney decided to do a second movie featuring Jim Carrey of the same caliber.  It is not as good as the first but I am partial to the Muppets plight.

The Nativity Story

The Nativity Story was an awesome story but I am partial to the plight of Jesus.  I just find it amazing how someone so poor can make their way in this world and have three kings from Iran or wherever come over to Israel and be so humbled in the Lord's presence even though he was only a child.  He wasn't even a child but it was so fun and so magical to see.  I recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of Jesus and to anyone who is a fan of Mary and Joseph's as well.  It certainly makes the holidays a time to remember and a time to be cherished for all time.  It's amazing the magic that the season brings.  Have a happy new year everyone.

A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa

This was a pretty amazing movie.  Of course I watched it well before Christmas but none the less it was super exciting and I like watching movies like that before Christmas because I like to socialize around the holidays and get my entertainment and fun out of the way in order to do that.  I watched it one weekend before Christmas and it really brought me back in the mood as I always fall in and out around the holidays but this weekend being the middle of Christmas, I am lasting quite good but everyone will be back to work tomorrow and it will fade again while I wait for the new year and all of those celebrations.  The holidays really are fun.

Mariah Carey

Ok so this is the second most amazing Christmas album I have ever heard.  When I said that Josh Groban's Christmas album was the most amazing ever minus Mariah Carey, what I meant is that her two Christmas albums are the most amazing ever and then Josh Groban.  I say that because I have been following Mariah Carey's career the most long, minus of course the queen of pop.  In case everyone has forgotten that title still belongs to the one and only Madonna.  I am in love with her and I am in love with Mariah Carey as well so they will have to duke it out.  Anyhow back to the album at hand and what an album it is.  Complete with old hits and new ones.  This will go down as an all time favorite for all of the holidays yet to come and then some.  I am so in love with this album that I could not have asked for a more perfect gift at this time of year, except for the blu ray player that I got which is the most awesome.  Anyhow I love you Mariah and I always will.

Mariah Carey

This has got to be the most amazing Christmas album I have ever heard.  I am not saying that her second one is any less amazing but it is not as good as her first attempt.  Her second after all is her sophomore attempt and sequel to the first.  The first just has more pizzazz and that is what I am looking for in a Christmas album.  I still listen to this Christmas album every year because it is the most amazing I have ever heard.  It is not even from this century yet it holds its ground as an all time classic hit.  In fact one of the new songs from this album has become a Christmas classic and all time hit.  I am of course referring to All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Josh Groban

This has got to be the most amazing Christmas album I have ever heard.  Minus one of course and that is Mariah Carey.  Not sure if I mean her most recent or first yet.  I will decide that later.  But if you are looking for a good time around the holidays than I highly recommend this classic which is a huge classic even though it was just released this century.  I say that because Josh Groban has a classic sound and his song choice is classic unlike Yolanda Adams who chooses a more contemporary and modern take on Christmas.  One that is not always appreciated, but I can dig the Yolanda Adams version of Christmas because in my eyes she can do no wrong.  I also feel that way about Josh Groban so please go out and buy one of these albums or just get it online.

Yolanda Adams

Yolanda Adams has a great Christmas album although it is not as great as I thought.  I wanted something a little bit more inspiring but there are certain songs that send chills down my spine.  I love hearing about the lord and she usually does a really good job displaying that but this time she somewhat falls short.  I will wait for her follow up to this album because that is surely going to be an excellent album.  I am just not in the mood right now to rush out and purchase it.  I already purchased one album this year and that is enough for me.  Speaking strictly about Christmas albums as I have a great many other purchased throughout the rest of the year.

Faith Hill

Ok this is what I am talking about when I am referring to good Christmas music although it is a little too country for my liking, but all in all it has some great power ballads on it and I love it.  It is just absolutely amazing and I am so glad that my mother got it because she is a little bit country too.  I have Yolanda Adams coming up next and then Mariah Carey and Josh Groban so that should be interesting.

Olivia Newton-John

Another boring Christmas album but I am glad I got the chance to listen to it.  It brought me back into the Christmas spirit that night but oh would I love to have forgotten this album.  I just keep comparing it to previous Christmas albums I have listened to and there really is no comparison.  If you are looking for a stellar Christmas album then I suggest one by Amy Grant or even Celine Dion.  Those artists and albums completely blow me out of the water.  The only thing is the fact that they are super old.

Anne Murray

Ok this is one of the most boring Christmas albums I have ever heard.  I thought I would like it a lot but after listening to it this Christmas again for the first time in a long time I have realized that I am not in love with it and this will be the last time I am featuring it.  I know she is from the same province that I am from in Canada but that doesn't mean a thing to me since there are so many more artists who do such an outstanding job when it comes to Xmas.  I like the Celine Dion days and the Amy Grant days a lot more than I like this.  At least they make me feel special when I am listening to their respective Christmas albums.

The Last Airbender

The Last Airbender was not the best movie however it was pretty interesting to see in High Definition.  It was my fourth blu ray that I saw and I must say it was probably the best, even though Predators was pretty good.  I am looking forward to my next blu ray and what that will be like since I have yet to see the movie I am buying on blu ray.  Anyhow the Last Airbender is a good film but it was not as good as I expected.  I expected a little more and now I am glad that I did not go to the theatre to see which is something I most often do.  The Last Airbender is a good film and I am looking forward to the sequel if there ever is one only because I have invested in this first part.

The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos

The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos was a good documentary.  It wasn't the best that Disney has put together but none the less if you bought two Disney Nature films you received a huge savings care of Disney.  Disney has a lot of rewards programs and I encourage anyone to become part of them as who does not love a good Disney movie.  Anyhow this was my third blu ray to date seen and I would have to say that it was one of the best blu rays I have ever seen.  That doesn't say a lot considering I have only seen three but if I were to give it a star rating then I would give it four out of five stars.

Oceans

Oceans was an amazing movie.  Or should I say documentary.  Either way it is pretty outstanding.  I am a huge fan of nature and this is a huge step up from those documentaries they used to show on Saturday afternoon when I was a child.  I am really impressed with this documentary and to see it in high definition was yet another impressive feature.  It was my second blu ray to date and I am going to watch more and more until I am fully saturated because high definition is an amazing feat.

Predators

Predators was the first high definition movie I ever saw.  It was definitely worth the wait.  I first saw this movie in the theatre and then I saw the digital copy as I purchased this movie on Blu Ray.  Anyhow I got a blu ray player for my birthday and although I had the movie for a long time I saved the blu ray for when I received my blu ray player on my birthday.  It was the first blu ray that I saw and the first blu ray played in my brand new Panasonic blu ray player.  I am very impressed and I could not be more excited.  I am very impressed with this movie and for anyone who has not purchased a blu ray player yet; well the price is worth the purchase.  I recommend this movie and a blu ray player to anyone who is eager to live in hi def.

The Black Eyed Peas

Well the Black Eyed Peas have done it again in my opinion.  The Time is an amazing song and too bad it wasn't released in the summer because it would have done even better but none the less it is doing outstandingly.  I am so impressed with this hit that I am wanting more and I am wanting remixes of it.  I waited patiently for them to be released on album drop date but none the less it was not released.  I will wait patiently for them to be released and until then I have the single from the album to keep me company.  It was funny that they did not release a maxi single for this song but I am sure they will.  It is just that they released a maxi single for every song that was released on the E.N.D.

Ke$ha

We R Who We R is an amazing song of which the likes I have unheard of.  I cannot believe that she decided to release an extended play after such a short time since her most recent hit from Animal.  It is absolutely amazing and I commend her for doing such an amazing job.  The video for We R Who We R was just released and once again she topped herself for such an amazing job.  I love watching the video and it should help with her overall position of the song on Billboard since it isn't doing as well but the video should and will change that.  Way to go Ke$ha.  Amazing work.

Enrique Iglesias

Heartbeat is an amazing song.  It totally caught me off guard as I was under the impression that Dirty Dancer would be the next single after the much admired I Like It.  That doesn't say much though because apparently there have been other songs released since the much unheard of Heartbeat.  I am looking forward to the next big hit which should do quite well but I am enjoying Heartbeat at the time and it is after all a quite amazing song.

Legend of the Seeker

Wow Legend of the Seeker was absolutely amazing.  I loved every minute of it and I was sad to see it end.  So much so that after it went off the air I began to look right away at the status of the show but to no avail since it has not come back on the air to the best of my recollection.  It was exciting to see the series finale again and I will watch the second and last season again, making it a third time for me since I love it so much.  It's exciting to think of a land like that.  If it were to exist then I would have loved to have gone there, but I will have to suffice with this planet of ours, until or if there is another one in waiting to go to.  Anyhow I would love to visit that place and I will look forward to something else besides this earthly existence.  Although this earthly existence can be thrilling and exciting, the same can be said about this other world if it exists.

Lost

Wow the second season of Lost was really good.  It started off on a low note and diverging from the main story line, but ended with a huge bang, no pun intended.  It was absolutely amazing and kept me wanting more, which is why I plan on watching the third and fourth season right away.  I did not always think that Lost was so amazing but after giving it some time and attention I have realized that it truly is an amazing show.  It is definitely worth all of the praise it has received and I will look forward to what will happen once I begin the third and fourth season.  I own them on DVD and just purchased the first and second season not too long ago.

Grey's Anatomy

The second season of Grey's Anatomy was pretty good.  I started watching the first half only to find out that I needed a break from it while I was halfway through.  I finished the second half in quite a hurry so it must have gotten better but it wasn't the best since I am still half and half attached to the first and second season.  The fourth season should be interesting since it is the end for some regulars but I am not holding my breath since it will see some new comers and it isn't always easy to grow attached to the new lineup of characters.  I will look forward to the fifth and sixth season when I will get to see some regulars from another show and what not.

Desperate Housewives

I just finished the fourth season of Desperate Housewives and it was absolutely amazing.  I wish that it could have been longer but I understand that there was a writer's strike that year and so therefore it was shortened from its regular length season to only 17 episodes.  It took me no time at all to finish it but like I said I wish it could have been longer.  I did not expect it to be as good as it was as the third season was kind of dry and the second season seemed to be the highlight of the series.  I plan on watching the fifth season on DVD as well and I will let you know how it turns out.  Season six should be exciting as well.  I have seen certain shows from the sixth season and it is pretty spectacular.
