Time for WAT! (aka Wicked Awesome Television!; pronounced WHAT!)
Wow, I just had to post this after seeing it on YouTube – anyone else remember this show? Ha! =)
Sometimes the movies are more exciting than real life, as depicted in the following examples:
Pretty great examples if you ask me, but I could think of a few more to put up there:
What do you think?

I may not be a diehard Trek fan, but I like any great Sci-Fi series, and this looks like it’s gonna be a good one to start off the summer right!
What do you think?
An awesome new trailer for Terminator Salvation, the fourth installment of the super awesome (if I do say so myself) series. It’s coming out in theaters May 21, 2009.
The Oscars have really been getting worse and worse as the years go by. I did not partake in viewing the 2009 Oscars because the majority of the nominees were movies that were not that popular, which is ironic because the Oscar awards were created to honor great movies and their casts.
That apparently is no longer the case. Movies (nominees) are now selected for their usefulness in spreading political ideas, not entertainment value. Let’s have an example, shall we?
Did you watch Milk?
Ok.
Did you watch Frost/Nixon?
Ok.
Compare those two answers with this question’s answer:
Did you watch The Dark Knight?
That’s what I thought. Which one of these films should have been nominated, and which two should have been left on the floor of the editing room? The answer should be obvious.
I don’t need Hollywood to trying tell me what I should or shouldn’t believe politically – I just want some entertainment.
Apparently that’s not what the Oscars are for any longer.
I think some of the movies selected as nominees were good choices:
Unfortunately, that is not the majority of the movies up for awards tonight, and that’s why no one is watching the Oscars. Just like the past MLB World Series showed us: If a couple of unpopular teams (movies in the Oscars) are in the championship game (the Oscars), then no one will be watching. That’s what happened in the World Series, and that’s what’s happening now.
I think that you could safely remove Frost/Nixon, Milk, and the other crap from the awards and have a better turnout.
Give credit where credit is due – The Dark Knight was better than 90% of the nominees, and you know it.
That’s my opinion, and I’ll stick by it. If you really think it should be the other way around, then leave a comment below!
This is a guest review from Jeffrey Rule. Thanks for the submission!
Intro:
This movie is based off of the Sue Monk Kidd book “The Secret Life Of Bees”, which I had read just a couple of months before the movie came out. It is a story of the hard life of a child whose mother is dead and father who shows no love. Lily killed her mother completely by accident when she was little. She is now 14 and has little recollection of her mother. All she remembers of her mother is what T. Ray, her cruel and unloving father, has told her. It seems the only person who loves Lily would be the family servant, Rosaleen. The setting of the movie is right in the center of the civil rights movement in South Carolina.
It’s that special day where relationships are born, broken, and even never exist! Whatever your relationship status is, there are some great cinematic love stories to be enjoyed if you find yourself in front of your DVD cabinet.

Intro:
When your confused but lovable coworker/friend gets his fingers chopped off in a tragic lawnmower accident, and there’s no insurance to cover the surgery, what do you do? Well, I would call my shady uncle and mastermind the perfect plan to grab some easy cash – rigging the Special Olympics!
Even if you didn’t win the cash though, you may come out of the scam in a squad car, or possibly with some new appreciation of people for who they are.
