Ringer Premieres Tonight, Will You Watch?

I'm still totally on the fence about Sarah Michelle Gellar's new show, Ringer. If it starred anyone else, I don't think I'd be interested, but it stars Buffy! SMG's big return to TV wouldn't be for a mediocre project. At least, I would hope so.

Read the full synopsis and watch the trailer after the break.

Music Monday: Arms by Christina Perri

I first heard about Cristina Perri because of So You Think You Can Dance. Her heartbreaking and soulful Jar of Hearts was used in Season 7 when Billy and All Star Kathryn did a beautifully danced Stacey Tookey routine. After that number, that song immediately made it on to my So You Think You Can Dance Playlist for that season and then I never heard anything from her again. This summer, she released a new single and it's just now starting to get more radio play and I am hooked! Her voice is beautiful and she's proving herself to be a talented songwriter. I hope she keeps it up! Watch the official video for Arms after the break.

Nikita Season 1 on DVD/Blu-Ray now!

I've been talking about this for a while, but finally this week the Nikita Season 1 DVD and Blu-Ray are out in stores! Have you seen it yet? Be sure you catch up before Season 2 starts on September 23!

Nikita and Alex grow and become a team as the show progresses, but aiding Nikita could mean death for Alex if she’s ever found out. What is the strangest request that you’ve ever done for a friend and given the choice now would you do it again?

Personally, my friends are pretty tame with their requests - definitely nothing compared to Nikita and Alex! I think the strangest thing I've done is watch some pretty terrible movies because they wanted to - like OLD DOGS. That film will live on in infamy in my circle of friends.

Let me know your strange request stories in the comments!

And don't forget you can buy Nikita Season 1 right here: http://bit.ly/qLjOxO

Music Monday: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

In honor of Freddie Mercury's birthday today, here's one of my favorite tracks by Queen, Don't Stop Me Now. If you aren't a Queen fan, you might recognize this from SHAUN OF THE DEAD. One of my favorite scenes was when they were in the Winchester, barracaded against the coming hordes of zombies, and they start beating them up to the beat of the song on the juke box - Don't Stop Me Now! Seriously, one of the best musical moments in a nonmusical.



Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!
