Beyond the Plot

I have never been a fan of any movie Quentin Tarantino has been associated with due to their obscene violence and their useless sexual content. However, against my will I went to see Machete last night. The movie started off with tons of blood and a naked chick pulling a cell phone from her vagina. In my head I'm thinking "Here we go with this nonsense...", but as the movie progressed I actually found myself enjoying it.

Machete's cast has nothing but familiar faces:

• Danny Trejo as Machete ( I never knew his name until now but I've known his face for quite some time)
• Jessica Alba 
• Michelle Rodriguez 
• Daryl Sabara (He was cute in the first Spy Kids movie, not so much in the second one. I almost didn't recognize him in this film. He is a full grown man now) 
• Lindsay Lohan (A friend and I spent five minutes during the movie debating whether she was actually nude or was it a body double...) 
• Robert De Niro 

I hadn't watched LOST for two years until last night when the final episode aired. It was supposed to be the one episode that gave you all the answers to everything you been wondering about the island and the people who were on it. Since I hadn't watched the show in so long I expected that I would be somewhat lost but I felt I should know enough to understand what was happening. Man, was I wrong. 

On Sunday nights I hate to love these three new shows on VH1:

• Brandy & Ray J: A Family Affair
• I can't believe how much VH1 loves to keep Ray J on the air season after season with two seasons of For The Love and Ray J and now this new show with his parents and sister Brandy. It follows Brandy and Ray J as they learn the ends and outs of the music industry as a business from their manager/mother Sonja Norwood. Sonja is the realest part of this "reality" show. For some reason I just love watching grown people getting yelled at by their mother. Pure entertainment for me. 
• Basketball Wives 
• Now this show sounds like it should be about the wives of NBA Basketball players. It turns out to be about bitter ex-wives and soon to be ex-wives who try to poison the mind of the one wife who seems be happily married. Lets hope they don't succeed. 
• What Chilli Wants 
• What to say, what to say about this show? Oh Chilli (from singing group TLC) why can't you find a man? Maybe its because your standards are ridiculously high. He can't smoke, can't drink. can't eat pork, must have six-pack abs, and the list goes on forever. Usher's divorced now. Why don't you just go back to him? I'm going to keep watching until you end up with him. And i'm glad you decided Floyd Mayweather wasn't for you. Keep it moving.
