Top Chef: Everybody Wins
It was the last episode before the finale in the Bahamas where it was down to three girls and two guys. The chefs had one last weird quickfire challenge and and elimination challenge that would focus on their background and families. For once, everyone was on their game, which...
Amazing Race: Slow Down Kangaroo Jack
This week’s race continued from last week where all the teams were completely exhausted after their first leg to find out that they weren’t done yet! They usually save that craziness towards the end of the race so it was a nice of them to mix things up a...
Top Chef: Honor the Fish
This week’s episode was all about Southern cooking. The guest judges were Paula Deen and Josh Besh. They actually carried the theme from the quickfire, where they had to fry up something for Paula, to the elimination challenge, where they had to cook using Southern seafood that benefited the...
Amazing Race: No Time for Dilly Dally
Amazing Race is back and for once we don’t have to be confused by all the new teams because we all know them! Except for possibly Amanda and Kris who are still not very memorable. The first leg started out crazier than normal. They were told there would be...
Amazing Race: Unfinished Business
There is other new television debuting this week, like another boring round of America’s Next Top Model, but the most important thing that is debuting is the next round of Amazing Race. The show had done an all-star cast previously after season 10, but that was ruined by Boston...
Top Chef: Muppets!
The muppets were on Top Chef! They were on just for the Quickfire, but I really hoped they would have been part of the elimination challenge too. I love Cookie Monster and it was just over way too quickly. Even though I did not grow up on Elmo, I...
The Social Network
I was reminded right when the movie began that the screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin. In the first scene, Mark Zuckerberg and his girlfriend talked very quickly while also having multiple conversations with one another at the same time. I felt like I was watching the early years...
Top Chef: Beef Tongue
It was all about the beef tongue on the last episode of Top Chef. It didn’t win, but it was in the final three. What made it memorable, besides that it is apparently one of Jimmy Fallon’s favorite dishes, is that the chefs created a little song for it...
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
I’ve seen Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and even though they were different movies, they had the same two leads and they parodied movies –zombie and action movies. I would not have guessed this one was by the same director. First, it didn’t star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Second,...
A Serious Man
This movie is in some ways very typical Coen brothers movie. The characters are all a bit off and entertaining to watch, while in other ways this is very different Coen brothers movie. Even though the characters are odd, they are much more realistic than characters in other Coen...
