There has been a lot of discussion about which is the best version of Roald Dahl's book Charlie and the Chocolate family - the one with Gene Wilder or the more recent one with Johnny Depp. Personally (although at times he...

doubloonie PS. I just noticed you compared Johnny Depp's version to Michael Jackson and I remember thinking the same thing when I was watching the movie! Too funny.

So I'm watching the new season of Ugly Betty right now as I am writing this. I am watching it online because I'm not able to watch it on TV. And I have to say that I liking it so far. It's so different right now because so many...

doubloonie I agree! Gio's character is so funny. Last season, he was so confident that she should be with him and pretty much didn't take no for an answer. And now this season, he bans her! He plays the character so well. I hope she ends up with him and not her neighbor....

doubloonie The new love interest for Betty is kind of cute, but I don't want anything to happen because I like Gio and her together! Gio is great and so much better than Henry. Although Henry was really great at first too, but then his character became so weak. I guess...

Is anyone watching a new show called Fringe? I caught just a little bit of it the other night. Seemed really creepy and kinda 'x-files-ish.' Is anyone else watching it? What do you think?

doubloonie Thanks for the Br, tthom :) Have you been watching this show still? I'm still watching every episode. But so far it's still just OK. Nothing super exciting has happened yet. I don't know how much longer I'll continue watching.

I really enjoyed reading the twilight series and am eagerly anticipating the release of the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, in August. However, if there is one thing I don't like about the story, it's that Bella is just so eager to...

doubloonie Thanks for sharing your perspective. Bella's insecurity was actually one of the traits I didn't really like about her. Though I do believe it is natural for everyone to be insecure about themselves at times in their lives, she laid too much emphasis on...

Are any of you familiar with the spanish horror hit [REC] released last year? It was a handy-cam/video movie in the vein of "Cloverfield" and "Blair Witch", it followed a news reporter and her camera man as they document the lives...

doubloonie Re: the spoiled ending - I know, hey! That's why I really don't like watching trailers and previews nowadays. They always seem to reveal the best/integral parts of the movie.

doubloonie Hi there! It is actually a book series, the fourth book just came out. I didn't like the last book as much as the first three. If you want to give a new book series a try and if you like vampire stories, I recommend you read this series. Enjoy!

Did you ever watch the Roswell tv series about a group of alien/human hybrid teens that have to live amongst regular humans and the relationships they build with other teens? This was a fantastic series with great character...

doubloonie Ooh! I'm glad to hear you like it! It is a great series and one that was totally underated, in my opinion. I loved the Michael/Maria storyline - they were so cute together. But I especially liked all the conflict that the characters had to go through,...

I have not seen a conversation on this yet, but I might have missed it. Did anybody tape/Tivo the season finale. I wasn't really paying attention until I noticed the Professor's look of confusion and by then, of course, the show...

doubloonie I heard a rumor that Melinda's husband is killed off the show early in the season. I hope it's not true! I love them together and I think they have one of the best on-screen relationships.

doubloonie There is no arguing the fact that it was entertaining but I was simply stating my opinion of the book, the author and her writing style and I stand by my opinions. Though I do believe most young girls are smart enough to know better, there are still those...

doubloonie The slow waltzy dances are very hard to get into, so I generally like the harder hitting dances too. Having said that, I am really loving the slower hip-hop dances this season! Especially the Bleeding Love and Alicia Keys one. Wow. There weren't very many...

doubloonie Yah, Mia's (seemingly) personal attacks on Jessica were so mean! I would have to say I wouldn't miss it much if Mia wasn't on the judging panel from now on. However, after watching Toni Basil this week, holy cow! If I had to choose the lesser of two evils, I...

doubloonie I think Twitch did start off getting the sympathy vote because he didn't make it last season, but now I think he's just shown so much more personality than some of the other males and that is getting him by. I actually love Mark and Twitch and want them to be...

doubloonie I absolutely adore the Sabra/Neil Business Negotiation dance. It was so hard hitting and just amazingly danced. I can't get tired of watching it over and over again either. Re: Hok's contemporary dance, maybe you're thinking about the hummingbird dance where...

Or did you find Toni Basil annoying on this week's So You Think You Can Dance? I was amazed at how pompous she sounded! Maybe it was her word choice or the way she ennunciated those words. I don't know. I am just glad I don't have...
