The X Factor USA: Top 8

From eight performers, we're now down to six. If anyone had asked me if these six contestants would be the ones this far in the game, I probably wouldn't have guessed right. A few... yes. Next week is the Pepsi Challenge where the viewers will vote which songs the contestants sing. Twitter (and it's awesome power of spoilers) has revealed which numbers were chosen and I'm quite impressed. Wi

The X Factor USA: Top 10

These eliminations continually shock me. Usually for singing competition shows, the elimination episodes follows a typical format where viewers can expect which contestant will be voted off. However, I've been consistently surprised at the cuts. The instant-elimination at the beginning of the results show is never whom I expect it to be. This week, two of the teens were sent packing and whil

Movie Review: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2

Popular movie series must always come to an end. Last year it was Harry Potter and now this year it's the vampire/werewolf flick Twilight. Originally I had laughed at the idea of watching the finale but my friend's talked me into it and I've already seen the previous installments. Today's post will be the final part of the international phenomenon: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. The

The X Factor USA: Top 12

Two more acts have bit the dust. It's been two weeks since the last post and I'm sorry for not writing one last episode. To recap last week: Diamond White returned for the teens and Jason Brock was eliminated from the Over 25s. I expected him to be the one leaving so it wasn't a sad week. The episodes have already aired and two competitors were sent packing. First, hip hop group Lyric 145 wa

'666' And 'Last Resort' Cancelled, CBS Dumps 'Partners'

Sad news but not unexpected. What many have suspected for the last few weeks, CBS and ABC have dealt the axe to a few of their struggling primetime programs. Over at CBS, half-hour comedy Partners was finally let go after experiencing dwindling ratings for its current six episodes. The comedy starring Michael Urie and David Krumholtz was assumed to be cancelled early on in the season but w

America's Next Top Model season frontrunner Laura James won in a very close final judging against Kiara Belen and Leila Goldkuhl (second and third place respectively). Before final judging, each girl participated in a photoshoot for Nylon Magazi

Movie Review: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

This sequel has been in the works for years. Many reports on IMDB and movie websites stated that a film was potentially approved in the past but yet, a sequel came out in 2012. Obviously... I had to check it out. Today's post will be a mini review for the film adaptation of the survival horror game series: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. The Premise: Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) is a shy an

Trailer Madness: Wreck-It Ralph

I love a good video game. Arcades, fighters, shooters, adventures, survival horror and so on. It's something I grew up with as a kid and even now I still play on a (weekend) basis. Naturally when a movie about video game characters was going to be released, I needed to watch it. My workplace was doing a program for the movie before the launch but I caught the film on its release with my frien

The X Factor USA: Top 16

(Photo courtesy of FOX and The X Factor USA) Can I just start off by saying: I'm really loving this season! It's no secret that I'm a huge TV buff and a reality TV junkie. Hey, I've watched every season of Survivor when it aired live. Live shows of "talent competitions" are usually when I start to teeter off but I'll try to watch live. If I happen to miss an episode, I'll catch the vide
