Love It Or Hate It: First Clip of New Whose Line Is It Anyway

Many hours ago, CW released the first clip from the new Whose Line Is It Anyway.

In the clip above, we see a new host for the new Whose Line Is It Anyway, Aisha Tyler. Not familiar with her? Me neither. At least, not from her name but her face is familiar to me. I might have seen her in CSI. But I’m not entirely sure.

Anyway, it’s really good to see the whole gang minus Drew Carey. As seen in the clip, they are still as hilarious as ever. But it seemed a little off with Aisha there. I guess I am so used to seeing Drew behind the table. However, since this is still very new, she might have yet to gel with the rest of the crew who have worked years together. So, I shall give her more time and watch more episodes before I make any comments.

Love it or hate it? I’ve waited so long for the new Whose Line Is It Anyway and so, yes, I love it!

Love It Or Hate It: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Teaser Trailer

I mentioned in my previous post that ABC has picked up Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and lo and behold, the teaser trailer of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D!

First of all…

Image

It looks super exciting with many action scenes packed into a 30-second trailer, including a little funny moment from “Son of Coul”. I hope it does well since it’s helmed by Joss Whedon. He has a lot of Marvel superheroes to use so it’s going to be exciting to see who’s going to appear in this TV series. What I’m quite concerned (but not a priority for me) is if Avengers is the beginning and this is a follow-up to it, how will they answer for Agent Coulson still living in this series? Of course, maybe he’s not dead after all and his “death” was used to push Avengers to capture Loki. Whatever it was, hopefully Joss will not gloss it over.

Love it or hate it? Absolutely love it and can’t wait for it!

Love It Or Hate It: Girl Most Likely Movie Trailer

Yesterday, I told you that a certain Mr. Darren Criss is starring in a movie with Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening.

Well, today, I’m going to talk about said movie called Girl Most Likely. It was previously known as Imogene.

It looks nice to watch and I’m expecting it to be funny. But it also gives me the Bridesmaids  vibe. The storyline looks similar – Kristen Wiig’s character having some crisis in her life and will make it through in the end with the help of family, friends and a new man. In this movie, the new man will be played by none other than Darren Criss. I don’t know what to make of it really. I’m not super excited over the movie in general. Like I said, the storyline is similar to Bridesmaids and we’ve watched Bridesmaids so we basically know how the story is going to go. The trailer literally tells you how the story is going to go anyway. I’m only excited because this is Darren’s first big screen acting and I’m really proud of his achievements. So, I’m going to be completely honest here and admit that I’m going to watch this movie when it comes out only to see Darren in his skivvies.

Love it or hate it? Siti loves Darren half-naked so does that equal to loving it? Well, partly, I guess.

The movie will be released on July 19th, 2013.

Love It Or Hate It: Jonathan Hobin’s In The Playroom

This blog is mainly for me to post my reviews on movies, books, music and TV shows but this post is a little different today.

I want to talk about Jonathan Hobin’s In The Playroom. He is a Canadian photographer who re-created the world’s most infamous tragedies… with young children. Yes, tragedies. And these tragedies ranged from the terrorist attack on September 11 to natural disasters such as the tsunami that struck South East Asia in 2004. One example of the picture that Jonathan Hobin shared with Vice.com is below:

Image

(Click on the above image to go to Vice.com’s full slideshow with other images as well as an interview with Jonathan Hobin)

I was looking through the slideshow of images. Some images are hard to figure out so I had to look through the comments to find out what the images were about and some I don’t really consider tragedy such as the bank bailout but I guess that different individuals will perceive it differently so I let that one pass.

Some of it are disturbing, I have to say, but this is art. Art can be controversial and art should make people talk. And this certainly got people talking. 

I wonder to myself when I felt disturbed about some of the images why I felt so when these did happen in reality and these were some things that we went through one way or another. Do I find it disturbing because it’s real or do I find it disturbing because Mr. Hobin used children to re-create these tragedies? A little bit of both, I have to say.

I find it unsettling that children were being used here. I’m pretty sure they are too young to understand and know what they were doing in these images and they might have felt that this is a playtime for them or role-playing time. But the parents of these kids knew what they were putting their children up for. On the other hand, I’m also very sure they are not irresponsible parents. They might have talked and reasoned it all out. If I’m a parent, would I do this? No, because I run away from problems and I would like to think of happy things rather than recalling all the sad tragedies that ever happened in my lifetime. In the interview with Jonathan Hobin, he did mention of one parent’s reluctance.

 

But, this is the real world we live in. These are the things that happened. And if you find these disturbing, yeah, well, these happened for real. These are actual incidents that happened. And I thought to myself if I’m an alien from another planet, I would look to Earth and go: “You are one bunch of f***ed up human beings.”

Love it or hate it? Siti is neutral on this. It’s disturbing but it’s also art and I appreciate art in all forms especially if it got me thinking.

Anyway, if you’re in Canada or you live there, In The Playroom will be in Toronto for an exhibition in Gladstone, as Vice.com reported, so you can pay it a visit.

Love It Or Hate It: David Cook – Laying Me Low

A couple of days ago, David Cook released his new single called “Laying Me Low”. Have a listen below:

It’s a different sound from what I used to listen from David Cook. This was a little bit pop-ish than what I used to listen from him, in my opinion. This has a Maroon 5-ish and Matchbox 20 kind of sound. It surprises me to hear it coming from David. If I didn’t know that this was David Cook, I would have thought it was from Matchbox 20. No matter, I do enjoy it a lot and hope it does well on the charts. I’ve not heard a lot from David. He was really popular after he won American Idol and then it sort of fades away.

Anyway, if you like the song as much as I did, the single is available on iTunes and Amazon so please do purchase it from these two outlets. He will also be performing the song live on American Idol on 2 May 2013.

Love it or hate it? Love it!

Love It Or Hate It: Thor 2: The Dark World Trailer

Two days ago, trailer for Thor 2: The Dark World is released.

Excuse me but I feel the need to fangirl and scream for a moment.

Image

There are so many things happening in that trailer that I don’t even know which one I want to talk about – Thor coming back for Jane, a villain doing villainy things, the villain doing something to Jane, what will Thor do? And finally, Thor gets desperate and asks Loki for help.

Yes, when do we start indeed?

There will be more trailers, I’m sure, as the movie premiere draws nearer so with these many scenes revealed in the trailer causing a lot of excitement among fans, I can’t wait to see what else Marvel will reveal to us for Thor 2: The Dark World.

Love it or hate it? Absolutely in love with it.

Love It Or Hate It: Man of Steel Official Trailer #3

After watching Star Trek: Into Darkness‘ latest trailer with its epicness, Man of Steel‘s trailer left me a little disappointed.

I don’t know what to expect from the movie and I usually trust my instinct when it comes to a movie’s success through watching its trailer. I have not watched Oblivion because the trailer just left me bored and from what I heard, the ratings for the movie is not that good either. I watched The Host just for my amusement because there was nothing else to watch that week. Man of Steel‘s trailer does not give me the epicness that I would want to see from a blockbuster. Look at The Hunger Games‘ teaser trailer, Star Trek: Into Darkness and Iron Man 3! When you watch these trailers, you feel this excitement and this feeling of not wanting to wait till god-knows-when to watch the movie and you want it NOW. Man of Steel does not give me that same feeling. The trailer does, however, tell me that the movie will have really nice CGIs.

I’m not sure if it’s because I am feeling a little jaded over the many Superman movies and TV shows I have watched over the years. Maybe it’s that but then again, I can watch many movies of the X-Men franchise and I won’t be bored. Same goes with Spiderman and Batman.

But this trailer does give me a revelation – that Superman is most likely my least favourite superhero ever. Most of you would probably go: “What?” but it’s true. I just don’t find him as fascinating.

Love it or hate it? Not really in love with it. But would I still watch the movie? Yes. Hopefully this time, my instinct is wrong.

Love It Or Hate It: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Exclusive Teaser Trailer

This is something that many people have been waiting for and are probably why some watched MTV Movie Awards, among other reason: The exclusive teaser trailer of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Watch it below:

One thing is for sure, it gets people who have read the books and/or watched the first movie really excited for the next movie that will only be out in the cinemas months later, and by months later, I mean 7 months later.

The exclusive teaser trailer is packed with many scenes that fans would look forward to in the movie – Plutarch, acted by award-winning actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Katniss and Peeta on their victory trip, Peeta being calm as always amidst chaos, Gale got whipped (no, really), Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch protecting him, and rebellion beginning. Everything being put into a 2-minute video – well, with exception of the arena. If they were to put that, where’s the excitement in waiting, right? I would expect to see that in the coming months as the movie premiere draws near.

Love it or hate it? I love it and I can’t wait to see what else they will reveal to the fans. And it definitely makes me want to watch the movie if I have not read the books. But since I did, it makes me more excited.

Love it or Hate it: Demi Lovato’s “Heart Attack” Music Video

Demi Lovato just today released her music video for her hit song “Heart Attack”.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vntrYFXVko

Let me first just say that I love the song. The first time it was on the radio, I knew it’s going to be a hit. So I was excited that there’s finally a music video to accompany the song.
