This direct to DVD movie better be good or else there will be hell to pay!
I just rented the latest American Pie sequel Beta House and all I can say is that it better live up the genius that was American Pie Presents Band Camp and American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile. Those films were genuine classics, where as I have sneaky suspicion that this latest installment is nothing but an Animal House rip off. As improbable as it seems, I think the American Pie series might be taking a turn of the worse. It's kind of like how the Bring It On series went into decline with the release of Bring It On: All Or Nothing. I mean that film did hold a candle to the first two films in the series, despite the presence of the delightful Heroes star Hayden Panettiere. However, I still have to watch Beta House, so as far as I know it could possibly be the best film in what is possibly the greatest franchise in the history of cinema. I hope Jason Biggs has a cameo in this film. That would be funny!

FOX 6 Blitz is the funniest show on television.
If you have not watched FOX 6 Blitz, you are missing out on what is perhaps the most entertaining half hour show on television. For those who do not what FOX 6 Blitz is, it's a local show that covers the Green Bay Packers every Sunday night during football season. It is hosted by Tom Pipines, Jen Lada, and Tim Van Vooren. The best part of show is when each of the three give their grades for the Packers offense, defense, and special teams. Usually, Tom Pipines will give the Packers a D+ and then say something along the lines like, "even though the Packers scored 35 points, they only had 65 rushing yards. Simply not a good team. I don't know how they can possibly compete in the play offs." Meanwhile, I nearly die from laughter. Never has a sports show been so entertaining. Then he'll go on some tangent about how, "Wisconsin's own Tony Romo is the greatest quarterback in the history of the game," much to the amusement of every one else.
Tom Pipines always has to stress the point that Tony Romo is from Wisconsin, because some how it is a victory for the state that we produced such a fine athlete! Bah! Then he'll go, "I know the Packers are 13 -3, but they're simply not a good football team." Then Jen and Tim nod their heads, knowing it is best to remain silent, rather than set Pip off on another tangent.
At the end of each show, Tom, Jen, and Tim give their MVPs from the game. Jen seems to choose Mason Crosby every other week. To her credit Mason Crosby has scored the most points in the NFL. However, probably her most memorable choice came last football season in the New Years Eve game against the Bears in which she picked Rex Grossman as the game's MVP. He did after all throw two interceptions for touch downs in that game. Poor Rex Grossman.
Meanwhile, Tom Pipines usually says something along the lines of, "Well even though Greg Jennings had two touch down passes, he still dropped a few balls. Therefore, I give him a B -. And the only reason why he's my MVP is because I gave every one else on the team a D. Simply not a good football team."
Tim usually picks Donald Driver or some other veteran on the team. Very rarely do they pick Brett Favre, which is probably good, because there's been way too much Brett Favre slurping this entire season, especially by Tony Kornheiser.
It's pretty sad that once this football season ends, there will be no Fox 6 Blitz for a long time. How will I live with out knowing what grade Tom, Jen, and Tim will give the Packers? I do not know!
Simply not a good football team.
PS: Tom Pipines has not used the phrase, "Simply not a good football team" at all this season. He did however say it a lot a couple of season ago. Then he gave every one on the Packers an F.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin's own Tony Romo was sitting on a bench watching Drew Bledsoe play with that stupid grin on his face.

You best start believing in bad movies Miss Turner, you're in one.
That was the thought that entered my head after having watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End in it's entirety on Christmas Day. My sister for reasons unknown loves At World's End and owns the DVD, so I decided that I would kill some time by popping in the DVD and giving the film a fair chance, sadly I am still watching the damn film. It has no end! AAAHHHH! It keeps going. Enough with the multiple Jack Sparrows! It wasn't that funny the first time around! Enough with the betrayals! I can't even keep track on who is what side and why. Huh? Are the characters supposed to unlikable? If so, the filmmakers have succeeded. On the plus side, at least there isn't a ten minute scene in which three annoying characters fight in a wheel, instead we get a ten minute sequence in which Jack Sparrow swings on a rope fighting random bad guys. To the film's credit, it is a slight improvement over Dead Man's Chest, but then against what isn't? Though, I have to admit that I did enjoy Geoffrey Rush's performance as Captain Barbossa, he made the first half hour tolerable. Unfortunately, once Johnny Depp enters the picture, Barbossa gets sidelined to make room for Jack Sparrow's wacky antics and Will and Elizabeth's dull romance. I say dull, because they spend of most of the film's running time mad at each other. Incidentally, when exactly did Elizabeth become a sword wielding bad ass? When did she learn to fight with a sword? When did she have time? Yet, at the film's head ache inducing conclusion she is holding her own against pirates who have spent their entire lives fighting with swords. What? I know it's suppose to be suspension of disbelief, but even a fantasy film needs to abide by the rules. If a woman goes from being a spoiled governor's daughter to a sword wielding pirate, there's got to be a transitional period in the movie, sadly it doesn't exist.
Then again, it's not like there was a script or anything to guide the filmmakers.

Tony Romo is no longer delightful!
After losing the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Tony Romo is no longer delightful. He is no longer the Jack Sparrow of the NFL. He no longer thrills us with his wacky on field antics, rather he annoys us with his sheer incompetence. Oh TONY, WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED US? We thought you were the greatest quarterback of all time, instead you pulled a Joey Harrington by completely sucking it up. Remember how Joey Harrington was delightful for half a season before his enthusiasm for sucking got annoying? Will Romo drop his chance to go the Super Bowl again?
Meanwhile, according to ESPN the Patriots might be human after all! WOW! Ladies and gentlemen the Patriots are no longer for real, because they are not blowing out the opposition.
