"Elvis"


I find this poem along with other papers from high school that my grandmother wrote. I came upon this when my mother and I were cleaning up her room so when she comes back from the nursing home that there's plenty of room for her. Apparently this poem was found inside a folder with other papers and I thought I share this, since it was good and Elvis Presley is still "The King of Rock n' Roll."

"Elvis"

Elvis Presley is a name
if he ever left me
I’d love him just the same
His singing puts me on cloud nine
and I just wish he was all mine
There will never be another,
to take his place
he’s the most perfect man,
in this whole human race
his voice puts me in a trance
wow I sure like to see him dance
I’ll love him forever
Even if he goes down
please don’t get married
I want you around.

Doctor Who Season 9 Trailer




On Thursday, the first trailer for the new season of "Doctor Who" was released and it looks totally awesome!!!!

Clara is back, thank the time lords!!! Misty is back! And of course new adventures awaits that I can hardly wait.

I love who The Doctor says how he hates all evil but wants to kiss it to death. Yeah, that sounds like the Doctor all right.

Here's the trailer.

The season premiere of "Doctor Who" begins September 19th on BBC America.

"Chicago"




I was never much into musicals until I've seen them while watching comedy sketches. For the hit musical "Chicago" it never made sense to me at the time, even when I saw it on television or VHS. But when I saw it again years later,  I really enjoyed it and understood as well.

The theme to the musical film "Chicago" shown many different themes and yet it all takes place in the city of Chicago. One of the themes I think that's in this story is criminalize. We see how Roxie shoots a guy just to get in bed with and thinking that she was going to finally be ready to make as a show star even though she wasn't the only girl who did that kind of thing, as we see a whole line jail cell of women who did about the same thing.

Another is frame, there's another word for it....ambition perhaps. When Richard Gere's character tries to support the women that caused a rally interesting crime to him that he could sink his teeth into and get the press.

I think that if I was going to talk about the set up the stage for the show, I would want it to be in a proscenium stage. I think that with a stage like this it gives a better way for the audience to see and the cast to change each scene as the show goes on. I think that maybe the good way of having this kind of stage is for the actors to get in and get out and that the audience can see the faces of the actors.

I think that maybe some of the disadvengates is that the stage might be a little higher for the audience that are seating in the front row and that for those who are seating all the way in the e back they might not see very well on what's going on in the story.

Queen Latifith, I think, gave a really good performance in the film. I thought that her physical and vocal choices were something that she has had and that this role for her as Mama was perfect for her. In the scene when she was introduced as Roxie was in her jail cell or the first night that I thought she really took off.

Her character made sense in a way for a name like "Mama" I think would make a perfect sense that she shows her affection for those girls that want to get some attention, a big of a hustle and flow kind of thing. And I thought that her performance singing "When You're a Good Mama" was amazing. Her voice really stood out in that scene. Also not to mention that for her character to show feelings in her performance in that number was believable and that it was her voice that really got me saying "wow!"

Give it to Richard Gere, who I thought was outstanding in his role as Billy Flynn the lawyer. I really couldn't tell if he had emotions for his character. It seemed fake just for the glamour and press he likes to eat up when taking the hot new criminal case. I thought that he had a really good comedic style, talked fast and snag.

His performance singing in the film was good. I really didn't know that he could sing, but maybe that is all ethical stuff that helped him out, who knows? I really enjoyed his number" Movie Doll" and when he tap danced during that scene when he was thinking of a way to get out when Velma revealed Roxie's diary in court. His dancing was really good and to add that Gere seem to retained his character after we first see him in the film.

Overall I thought the film version of "Chicago" was very good. There were some parts that I didn't quite like and some that I did enjoy. I like musicals and this one goes to the top of my list. I could see why it won Best Picture" at the Oscars that following year.

Listening to the Lies and Cheaters for the Unbelievable Turn: Weekend Catch Up Part 5

Another week has past and so has these shows. If you missed them here's a recap of this past week's shows.




Royal Pains: "Voices Carry"



In this week's episode, Hank takes a trip to New York with Olympia, but their date doesn't go to plan. As Olympia has a League of Nations with the health summit.

When Hank meets one of the doctors from another country, he sees his assistant in trouble and helps her.

It gets weird when that same assistant, starts having a stroke during the meeting.  Hank figures it out that the cause of the stroke was that of her boss's voice.

Meanwhile, Evan finds a secret that Boris has been keeping. This is after Evan feels left out of doing the work that he is suppose to do.

Dyvia in the meantime, is dealing with three men on her own and finally gets the divorce settled but who does she want to be with?

For one thing the medical situation in this episode was great. Vanessa Williams was excellent as Olympia and both her character and Hank hit it off quite well.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Royal Pains" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.





Stitchers: "Stitchers in the Rye"


When an former agent who runs a food truck business that was murdered, Kristen and the team found out who killed him in this very interesting episode of "Stitchers."

As the team investigates the murder of a former CIA agent, Kristen searches for what the victim did and what searches did he hide. When she sees where he kept his secret government files, the team rushes down there to retrieve it. But as Kristen takes on file, the truck was in self destruct mode and blew up.

That only left with a file that can only be used in an old Apple computer to say. Kristen remembers her past with Ed when he had a bunch of computers in the garage. She finds one and finds out that the victim had the files on the stitchers program. Talk about weird, right?

But as this goes on, weird events start to unfold, like Kristen receiving a book "The Catcher and the Rye," and receiving strange spam text messages. That would all piece together as Marta was luring Kristen and trying to take her away from the program.

This episode was probably one of it's best. There's a lot of tension between Kristen and Maggie right now and at the end you kind want to just kick Maggie's behind after talking to a mysterious person in the garage.

All in all, I give this episode a 7/10. If you are a fan of "Catcher and the Rye" you might be liking this episode as there was a theme to it.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.





Suits: "Compensation" 



Hell in High Water comes in the Harvey-Donna-Lewis triangle.

When Lewis tries to make things right with Harvey, he does it by standing up to Harvey when Jack proposes of the new pay structure that will have Lewis making more than Harvey. Of course, that back fires and Lewis goes out and shares Harvey's last pay statements. And after all that, things just gets heated up more and more.

Meanwhile, Rachel has dinner with her father. But during hat dinner her father gives her a prenup. This turns heads between both of them and when Mike finds out, he deals with the situation head on  face to face. Does Rachel love Mike with all her heart? Do you think that this relationship will last forever?

"Compensation" was a very intense episode. There were a lot of humorist moments. One of which, Harvey interviewing clients for Donna's replacement. Another is hearing Lewis yelling about his turf toe.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10. The icing on the cake about this episode is that the new of the series getting picked up for a sixth season.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA.





Mr. Robot: "Eps1.1ones-andzer0es.mpeg" 



War soon to start!

In this episode, Elliot gets torn between a job offer from Evil Corp and joining fsociety  But he needs to make a decision on whether or not that his decision will to help will harm the people around him.

Watching Elliot and Shayla, I find interesting that even though she gives him the drugs, there could be something between them.

By the way, what is the difference between Blue Cross and Blue Shield? He makes a great argument of that with his therapist.

And someone's watching from the inside of Angela's place.

This episode was by far amazing. I can't get enough of this episode that I want to see more and more after it ends. Rami Malek is certainly going to get nomination for his role in this series, from Golden Globes to possibly Emmy.

You can catch "Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.


Aquarius: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" & "Cease to Resist" 

In this two episodes,, Manson recovers from a beat down from Hodiak. While Hodiak helps Shafe figure out who is tormenting his family in their neighborhood. As for the second episode Hodiak investigates a celebrity's murder.  While Emma and Sadie meet up with someone special from Manson's past.

These two episodes were good and somewhat interesting. There's been to much arguing from Hodiak and his two ladies his ex and his on and off girlfriend.

This series with each episode gets amazing and amazing every week. And I do watch it week after week. Even though I do DVR it.

You can catch "Aquarius" Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.


Hannibal: "Contorno" 


The offer of riches from Mason threatens to put Inspector Pazzi off his quest for redemption. Meanwhile Will and Chiyoh travels to Florence in search of Hannibal and of course Bloom is worried for everyone's safety.

A former girlfriend/friend Chiyoh describes to Will about how she met with Hannibal. She might have a code of not killing but it doesn't bother her.

Jake moves on after his wife's death as he dumps her ashes in the river and throws his wedding ring too.

Hell all I want to talk about is that amazing fight scene with Hannibal and Jack. Holy crap!!! Jack beats the crap out of Hannibal but in the end, Hannibal won when he was pushed off the edge of the window and landed on his feet walking away.

Now things start to get crazy!!!!

Overall, I give the episode a 10/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Thursday night at 10/9c on NBC





Complicated: "Immune Response" 



This week's episode of "Complications," Gretchen makes an expensive arrangements to hide the boy and does it in a Gretchen way.

And John's wife, Samantha is testing her relationship with John in a way that she wants to know what is going on with him.

It's another tense episode that's filled with on the edge drama.

Overall I give it a 8/10.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA Network.



Graceland: "Chester Cheeto"


This week's episode of "Graceland" Briggs tries to keep things under control with Ari Adamian. It does seem to go well at all.

And in a game changer, Charlie struggles with the decision to terminate her pregnancy.

It's a good episode. It's not how the previous one was but it's close to being an average episode with some moments that's fills you up.

All in all, I give this episode a 6/10.

You can catch "Graceland" Thursday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.





Clipped: "Go Below" 



In this week's episode of "Clipped" Danni suspects that AJ is seeing Charmaine as they take a Spanish class together and in the meantime, Ben has a one night stand with a neighbor.

When Ben feels all alone after the gang leaves to do other stuff. Ben feels left out and drinks his beer, when one of the sisters next door was duping cat poop out the window. As they argued, they decided drink together and there's the phrase "Go Below" comes into play.

As for Danni, when she learns that AJ and Charmaine are taking a Spanish class together. She deals with unfinished business with him. But when AJ  got the hint about how Charmaine's hands are amazing, he checks her out while they are studying and eating Chinese food.

Charmaine does to Danni and tells her that she needs to confront the issue that she's been dealing with. Danni goes to AJ's apartment and tries to be cool with it but the tension couldn't be bare and she went at him and also had a one night stand.

Funny, dirty and some awkward moments in this episode.  Love how they use the phrase "Go Below" as a meaningful term and probably will be used.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Clipped" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on TBS
