James Thomas Jr., became a millionaire May 17, 2009. He became the first contestant in the history of survivor to not receive one single tribal council vote, and he got all seven jury votes, so vote wise, he played a perfect game. My DVR did not record the end, so i had to go to Hulu to find out who won the next day, but I was not surprised. JT and Stephen both played very good games, but JT out played Stephen by far, socially and physically. I also think his noble choice of taking the harder route and choosing Stephen to come with him helped him with the jury. He even played so well, he won an additional $100,000 for being voted the player of the game by viewers. Now all I have to do is wait for next season, which is supposed to be "Survivor Samoa". I think if I was Mark Burnett, I would make some twist, like make it somewhere cold, or just something they haven't done yet. But thats just what I think.

Meh. That's probably the best way to describe that movie. (meh is a word by the way: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meh) So anyway, the movie was mediocre. I love TV, and I don't go to the movies a lot, so when I do, I like to be entertained. This one just didn't do it for me. Yes, it was action packed, which I liked, but I thought the plot was a little weak. I also felt like the usage of green screen and CGI effects were very obvious in the earlier scenes. There were some homages to the previous movies that I liked, and all the different machine variants brought a very intense feel. But other than that, it wasn't great. Not bad, just not good. Another thing was that the Schwarzenegger cameo felt extremely forced and out of place. They could have worked it into the story much better, instead of just shoving him into a random scene like there was no where else for him to go. It wasn't even actually him, it was some sort of special effects magic trick. Christian Bale was good, and the rest of the acting wasn't bad. Any way, scale of 1 to 10? 6.5, 7ish tops. See it if you want, but unless you are a big terminator fan, OR, have absolutely nothing better to do, I don't recommend it. You might as well just stay home and watch TV.

I am not much of an American Idol fan, but the show has a way of working its way into your life, especially since it started receiving more votes than actual presidential elections, so I felt obligated to talk about this event. I must say that I did really enjoy the outcome of this season of American idol. I didn't really favor either Adam or Kris, I just tend to root for the underdog, and I'm glad to see that the this time, the underdog won. I also heard that Adam Lambert, before his appearance on American Idol, was the understudy for a large part on the very popular Broadway show, Wicked. I think a big part of American Idol is viewers seeing Average Joe's become Stars of the stage. When a contestant enters the show already half way there, at least for me, it kills a lot of the interest. However, Kris had already self-released an album before coming on the show, so I guess its not fair for me to say that about Adam. Anyway, Kris Allen, 23 from Conway Arkansas, Seems nice, great singer, hope he goes far unlike many of the past American Idols whose careers withered away after a couple of months.
