part 2

My Bloody Valentine: 3-D isn't the most sophisticated horror film ever. In fact, it's about as generic as they come. The film takes place in a small ironically named community where everyone is white, stupid, and drunk. A terrible tragedy occurs that kills everyone involved except for the mentally unstable psychopath, and most of the residents have a bad habit of being impaled with a pick axe while doing something completely idiotic. Do films this inane even deserve a synopsis?

The selling point this time around is given away in the title: the film is captured in 3-D. There's been a lot of speculation and buzz in recent weeks surrounding the revival of 3-D films, including revelations that companies like DreamWorks and people like James Cameron are intending to only work in 3-D from now on. Bearing this in mind, I went into MBV:3D searching for a tech demo instead of an actual movie.

3-D is created through cameras that capture the scene using two side-by-side lenses spaced about an eyeball's width apart in order to mimic the way human eyes work. With the goofy glasses on, the image comes into focus giving the image on screen depth. With the glasses off, the picture is blurry and fuzzy. It's a neat trick to be sure, but that's all it really is. Depending on where you're sitting, the 3-D becomes incredibly painful after a while. Viewing angles play a big role in the experience, so it's best to sit in the middle instead of off to the side (which is where I normally sit).

The 3-D creates an appreciable depth, that is to say you can judge distance between objects in the background relative to the foreground, etc. The best uses of the gimmick are when Mr. Gas Mask hurls his pickaxe or when glass breaks and shatters. Actually, there is this one neat moment where an idle hand with blood dripping from the fingertips came into my corner of the screen, and it was convincing enough for me to think that my nachos got a nice crimson dressing. So really 3-D enhances the startling power of quick cuts (no pun intended), but that's all it's good for. You might flinch at the occasional bit of debris or metal spike, but don't expect to be able to grope a pair of bosoms.

The film outside the gimmicky 3-D is decidedly sub-par. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is predictable, and the score is your standard out of tune shrieks. The story on the other hand is actually somewhat inspired even if it is destroyed by the director's own ineptitude. The ending is a bit of a twist, but it's more of a "well the whole movie was pretty pointless then, wasn't it?" instead of the desired "golly that sure was great!" variety.

Fun Facts
- Filming in 3-D normally adds an additional 10-15 million dollars to the production budget.
- A ticket for a 3-D film will costs a few dollars more than a normal ticket.
- 3-D films are worthless to pirates since they're virtually impossible to endure without those stupid glasses.
- I don't think this is my best review either.

american idol bikini audition - Katrina Darrell

american idol bikini audition - Katrina Darrell

American Idol returned to television tonight and there was one interesting surprise: the first american idol bikini audition

Katrina Darrell decided that she wanted to stand out at her audition, and what better way than in a string bikini. Despite not brilliant singing, she got through to Hollywood after gaining the vote of Simon and Randy. New judge Kara DioGuardi wasn’t impressed.

Darrell isn’t the brightest contestant either, saying that she wanted to make out with Ryan Seacrest…despite him not liking girls. Still, she managed to pull off something that few women ever have or will: a lippy kiss from Seacrest.

kansas city -American Idol comes to kansas

American Idol comes to kansas city

Hell hath no fury like an "American Idol" rejectee; at least, that's what Mia seemed to feel when she was dissed by the judges on last night's Kansas City (Mo.) auditions: Fury!

She actually said that God would bring down retribution on Simon, Kara, Paula and Randy for not passing her through. Wow.

Other "losers" took their bad news only slightly better. Michael Nicewonder cried, especially since his loss meant his mother, who had told him he didn't have a good voice, was proved right by the judges.

Then there was Chelsea, a pretty girl who had the right look and the wrong - painfully wrong - sound. "You sound like a cat jumping off the Empire State Building would sound right before she hit the pavement," Simon said, in his bon mot of the night.

One disappointed singer actually took it quite well: Asia, the strapping sister of tiny India, was rejoicing because her more talented sister made it through, even though she didn't.

Overall, I thought that Kansas City smoked Phoenix in every way, delivering far better singers and some really fascinating back stories, too. Michael Castro, Jason's younger brother, just had begun singing three weeks before his audition and he nailed it, winning a golden ticket.

Ashley did what Bikini Girl should have; that is, picked a song written by Simon and sung it well! Her rendition of "Footprints in the Sand" by Leona Lewis (Simon is a co-writer) was good, but what was great was her savvy, flatter-the-judges choice. Smart girl, Ashley.

Matt the Welder (and family man) is one to watch--his blue collar vibe and super strong vocals hooked the judges and me, too.

I'm sure we'll be seeing the two music teachers later on, even past Hollywood. Danny, the young widower who had lost his wife only four weeks before his audition, knocked it out of the park. He's already being called a front runner. When he dedicated his golden ticket to his wife, I cried. I bet millions of people did the same thing.

Now that Bikini Girl fever has died down a little bit, let's move on to the Midwest, shall we? Kansas City, Missouri is tonight's stop on American Idol's nearly month-long audition tour, and I have high hopes. Arizonans - I can generally do without them. Now, Kansas City folk - salt of the earth, no nonsense. There were a multitude of theatrics on last night's episode of American Idol, and I expect less tonight. I also believe that some real talent will be unearthed in Kansas City. Kara DioGuardi seemed to fit right in with the other three judges on her debut last night, and I was mildly impressed. Everyone, please, just sit back, relax and enjoy your third and fourth hour of American Idol 8. I will be present right here, riding this specific internet tube, for the entirety of tonight's two-hour audition Don't Miss

I've opted to move to my home desk for tonight's episode. Last night, I worked the couch. I think we'll all be better off tonight as a result.

It's David Cook's home turf. As always, there are a lot of people who showed up to audition. We get it - you can stop putting everyone in an auditorium. No need to flex your muscle, FOX. People in the crowd love Simon Cowell. And Seacrest. Jason Castro is here today to support his brother, who will be trying out.

Chelsea Marquardt, an attractive blonde girl with confidence issues ("Can I buy you a drink, Chelsea?"), is the first audition. Oh, this is actually a surprise. She's really, really terrible. She sings "Without You" by Harry Nilson. It's the same song that the girl in the bathtub killed herself to in "The Rules of Attraction." Simon and Randy are absolutely brutal and mean. Simon said it sounded like the sound a cat makes as it plummets from the top of a skyscraper. Quite accurate.

Before I get started with the coverage of tonight's American Idol, how about a little Wednesday-evening quarterbacking on last night's show?

The big buzz today seemed to be all about Ryan Seacrest trying to high-five blind contestant Scott Macintyre. Honestly, I didn't think it was the worst moment ever -- he wasn't like, "Dude, you're leaving me hanging here." He wanted to offer Scott his congratulations and high-five was his natural reaction, and he told him what was going on. I mean, it was a little awkward, but I wasn't on the bandwagon of watching the clip again and again. *shrug*

Overall, I felt like last night, the producers tried to give us a kinder and gentler Idol, but it was also, uh, boringer. (Before the grammar police come out of the woodwork, I know that's not a word. It's a joke.) There wasn't as much straight-up humiliation, and only a couple of kooky characters. It kind of felt like they were giving us this "updated" Idol approach, at least in the first episode, but then the previews for tonight made it look like it would be business as usual.

Well, I'll stop speculating on that -- let's watch and see for ourselves.

Tonight's auditions are from American Idol champ David Cook's hometown of Kansas City.

Randomly, season seven finalist Jason Castro is there and greets Paula Abdul, telling her his brother is getting ready to try out. Intriguing!

First up is Chelsea Marquardt, who "has been singing as long as I can remember," which isn't the first time we've heard that sentiment on this show. She says she usually surprises people because this "powerful voice" comes out of this "little girl" and that she sings "with so much emotion and power, people are like, 'Whoa!'" The judges look like they are thinking "Whoa!" but not in a good way. Simon Cowell: "It sounded like a cat jumping off the Empire State Building and the sound it would make before it hit the floor." Randy Jackson says then it sounded like the siren that would come next. Paula yells at them for being mean, but rather convolutedly. Kara DioGuardia says she is not a good singer, "sweetie." (She really needs to lay off the "sweetie.") It's a no.

Ashley Anderson sings "Footprints in the Sand," a Leona Lewis song co-writted by Simon. Obviously she is going for brownie points, but then she sings "footsteps" instead of "footprints," and they stop her and call her out on it. But she's a good singer (Kara says she has got some "chops"), and she gets four yes votes.

Hey, look, it's a commercial for Idol during Idol. But all the David Cook fans will be happy!

Casey Carlson sings Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles," and she is pleasant enough. Her occupation is listed as bubble tea maker, which makes me giggle. It sounds so official. Simon: "I like you a lot. ... You have a good vibe about you." Everyone says yes, so on to Hollywood.

Brian Hettler says he isn't bringing any gimmicks, just his voice. He says he was trying to become an opera singer, but he left singing for two years. He never says he actually ever got into a school. He sings (I guess) Aretha Franklin's "Think," but it's just weird. Randy calls it "different." Simon says he hated everything. Randy asks if people really compare him to Josh Groban, and he insists on singing some more, and while it's loud, it's not what one would call good. He's out. The cameras follow him, and he says, "If you're expecting me to cry, don't even bother."

Cue the montage of crying, and in one case, screaming-totally-for-the-cameras overreaction. Yawn.

After a break, Ryan talks to David Cook's parents, who happen to be walking down the street. (Uh-huh.) Ryan talks about his signature last season of doing original twists on well-known songs, which leads to a montage of people doing original, but not in a good way, takes.

lyrics of footprints in the sand

Footprints in the Sand Song lyrics | lyrics of footprints in the sand

You walked with me,
Footprints in the sand,
And helped me understand,
Where I'm going,

You walked with me,
When I was all alone,
With so much unknown,
Along the way,
Then I heard you say,

I promise you,
I'm always there,
When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And despair, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

I see my life flash across the sky,
So many times have I been so afraid.
And just when I, have thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
That's when I heard you say,

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
With sorrow and despair
And, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

When I'm with you,
Well I know you've been there,
And I can feel you when you say,

I promise you (you)
I'm always there
When your heart is filled (when your heart)
With sadness and despair (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend (need a friend)
You'll find my footprints in the sand. (I promise you)

Ohh. (I'm always there)

When your heart is full of
Sadness and despair, (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend. (I'll carry you)
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

Uhh mmhhh.

McCallum, a 29 year old 5th grade teacher in the Boston area, has been accused of raping a 13 year old boy. McCallum reportedly had sex over 300 times with the boy over a period of a year and a half, and allegedly wooed with him alcohol and slept with him on kitchen floors, couches, and in the shower. She has been charged with seven counts of statutory rape for incidents that started in February 2006 and continued through November 2007.

McCallum met the boy at a public library when she was tutoring his younger brother in late 2005.

They had sex for the last time, and they tearfully exchanged I love yous, according to reports.
