Manic Monday

Steven Spielberg has taken on a lot lately and I’m kind of excited. He always makes amazing things. First, is Super 8, which I am soooo excited to see, then 2 TV shows; Falling Skies, which premiered last night and Smash, which premieres in the Fall. Unfortunately, Spielberg isn’t directing any of these, just producing them, but the fact that he’s involved with the creation makes them automatically good.

Super 8 has gotten amazing reviews even though it’s been advertised everywhere. I know why they did it, but usually when movies get over advertised, they suck, but the kids in the movies are new to Hollywood so they had to over advertise to get people to notice it. Although, I feel like the names JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg were enough.

Smash looks incredibly entertaining with singing and all that fun stuff. Katherine McPhee is auditioning to become Marilyn Monroe on Broadway. Falling Skies looks really good as well. I hadn’t heard of it until KROQ was talking about it last week in preparation for the premiere and I decided to watch a preview and it looks good. Aliens come to Earth and the people must survive. Sounds similar to The Walking Dead, but with aliens. The series starts after the invasion has already taken place and we see their adventures from there. I haven't had the chance to watch the pilot episode yet, but I have no doubt it's going to be good. So Steven, keep up the good work. I wish I were your friend.
