Suprise Hits, comedies back for ABC

ABC struck gold with their comedy Wednesdays, finding funny hits in "Modern Family" at 9pm, about a kooky family made of two gay fathers with a Korean baby, a 'regular' family that is dysfunctional and their father is married to a younger mother; "Cougar Town" at 9:30, Courtney Cox as a mother trying to get her love life back together; "The Middle" which is a really funny comedy about a family of three in Indiana and fanatic mother within budgets. "Cougar Town" still needs a little help but the other two shows are really great and funny.

Martin the Geico Gecko

Adjab has a 'Quick History of the Geico Gecko.' Martin the Geico Gecko has been voiced by Kelsey Grammar (the stiff English accent), Richard Steven Horvitz (the voice in the Kung Fu Fighting spot), and Dave Kelly (the relaxed British-Aussie accent).

And then Jake Wood, English comedian and actor does it in a hybrid Cockney London style.

Ray Park, the British actor and stuntman (now on "Heroes" and Dath Maul in Star Wars Episode 1), is the current voice of the GEICO gecko from 2006 to now. In current commercials the gecko's accent is more working-class, perhaps in an effort to further "humanize" him.

Zombieland Movie Review

The comedy about a world dominated with zombies and with very little normal humans left, is not a laugh-out-loud movie but it has its moments and is quirky. It is rather short though, at a slender 80 minutes. Jesse Eisenberg is the protagonist and narrator, a neurotic love-sick lonely homebody young man, who has developed his own rules for surviving, which we see visually throughout the movie. Along the way, he meets badass zombie killer played by Woody Harrelson, who doesn't want to know people's names, not to grow attached, so we know them by the cities they are from or going to. Zombieland was originally thought of as a CBS TV series and it sort of shows in plot, but in thematic style, it doesn't. It is a good movie. And for zombie lovers, there is plenty of blood, gore, and guts. Unfortunately, we don't get to see a decapitation in one scene. And a surprise cameo from someone ghostly familiar with comedies! The girls played by that chick from Superbad and Abigail Breslin---are annoying as con-artist sisters.

Kill Bill Volume... Wha????!

During promotion for the first two "Kill Bill" films, creator Quentin Tarantino hypothesized that he'd like to return for a third installment that would take place 10 years afterward the second film ended, but he said it would take ten years or more to wait for the actress Ambrosia Kelley (Nikki) to grow up. Ambrosia is now 14. Tarantino says he still plays to shoot "Kill Bill 3" in or around 2014. According to Variety, the filmmaker said he'd shoot a different picture inbetween. He's currently contemplating a "re-imagining" of a number of genres including a Western or a '30's type gangster movie. " Kill Bill, Vol. 2" ended with Beatrix (Uma Thurman) reunited with her baby and all of her targets killed.

Most speculate that Vernita Green's daughter, who is spared in "Vol. 1" would be the most likely protagonist now that she's all grown up and no doubt has revenge of her own on her mind. The "Bill" portion of the film would be difficult to incorporate even in flashbacks after David Carradine's death this past summer. Ambrosia, if she is re-casted as Nikki, she will be 18 by 2014, so filming a movie in 2014 would be interesting. I thought it would call something else. I have been waiting more for the DVD box set Director's cut of the 2 volumes. I want it! I want it!

Winnie's new friend

Lottie the Otter is Winnie the Pooh's new friend, in the new book written by David Benedictus and illustrated by Mark Burgess, and approved by the Pooh Trustees, it is called "The Return to the Hundred Acre Wood." In the course of “Return to the Hundred Acre Wood,” the publisher said, Lottie takes a swim in Christopher Robin’s bath, helps to set up a school for the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood, and turns out to be great at cricket. Last night Seth Meyers did a controversial joke on Saturday Night Live, saying she would replace Eeyore because he 'finally did it,' showing an illustration of a fallen chair and the famously depressed donkey hanging. The audience groaned and booed, Seth then added, "It could have been sexual asphyxiation."

Project Runway Season Six Episode Seven review

Yay! Michael Kohrs is back, he should be through the whole season. He would poo-poo on some of the winners this season. This week was another team-up and who knew the one to do badly with each other---Gordana and Irina, won the challenge. And the ones who got along with each other and pat each other on the back---the sexy and sweet Christopher and Epperson, were trampled on each other. Kohrs and Heidi were vicious on them. While, Louise and Nicholas---even though Nicholas is a bitch, he said the truth--the ruffles on Louise's dress were not going to help her. Louise was dumped. Nicholas was lucky to have immunity. Also, Shirin and Carol Hannah's designs looked similar to Irina and Gordana's, they went hand in hand. I thank the lord Christopher did not get kicked out!!!!! I really thought for a second he was gonna be kicked up, he has so much talent and has been applauded so much, it is like Ra'mon, Ra'mon shouldn't had been kicked out. Irina was such a bitch and shouldn't had won, now her ego has been boosted, I wish she gets hers next week. Gordana should have been kicked out, she's boring and her accent is annoying.
