Idol Top 4 Results – Twist and Out

As I’ve said in previous articles, the results shows with the save/non-eliminations are always the most anti-climatic because you can generally see them coming from a mile away. Subtlety was never really a part of the Idol Machine’s vocabulary. Still, Thursday’s results show was far from unimportant. As the show chugs like an unstoppable steam […]

Idol Top 4 Performances – One-Hit or Wonder?

I didn’t know what to expect coming into this week. I had high expectations because this is, without a doubt, one of the most talented Top 4’s we’ve had in many seasons. What I didn’t expect was the frustrating telecast that we actually ended up getting. It seemed none of the judges were hearing what […]

Beauty Spotlight: Kristie Stoodley

I’ve had a fascination with makeup for as long as I can remember. My aunt was a cosmetologist, my Godmother an Avon lady, and I was always rummaging through mom’s makeup bag when she wasn’t paying attention.  Sorry, Mom. I was drawn in by the vibrant hues and the idea of transformation, and still am […]

Idol Top 5 Results – Five For Fighting

I’m going to pull a Quentin Tarantino and spoil the ending on this one: Once again, we went into Thursday’s result show expecting the judges to swoop in dramatically and use their save to keep our squad of five talented ladies vying for the title in tact, but once again, they declined to do so. […]

The Best Show You’re Not Watching: “Bomb Girls”

When World War II is depicted in the media, we normally hear stories of concentration camps or see images of soldiers fighting overseas in Europe. It’s less common to see war stories told of those left behind as those brave men went off to war – stories of the women who, for the first time […]

Stress Awareness Month

April is Stress Awareness Month. It’s also the month that US and Canadian taxes are due, the month when college students take exams, and when “wedding season” unofficially begins. Our lives are full of stress, frustrations, problems, and bad days, so it’s no wonder that an entire month has been designated to talk about the […]

Idol Top 5 Performances: Binders Full of Women

Multiple times this evening the judges declared these five girls “the best top five ever”. First of all, only Randy is qualified to say that and even that’s questionable. But I’ve been here since day one, so I’ll be the judge of that. Our two themes tonight were “Songs From The Year You Were Born” […]

He Said, She Said: Being The Third Wheel

At some point or another, we’ve all experienced being a third wheel. You may have heard the expression before and while it’s not the most pleasant experience, it is something we most often can’t avoid when hanging out with friends and their new significant others. Being one is usually considered a negative thing in any […]

Idol Top 6 Results: Save On Standby

Going into Thursday, I think 90% of the Idolverse expected the judges to have to use their one and only save to maintain the status quo of the five talented ladies this season. It was clear, after Lazaro’s Top 3 placement the week before, that America just wasn’t buying into the “all-girl top five!” plot […]

Ben Affleck: The Renaissance Filmmaker

Every film is its own kind of expedition, and the way you move in that journey depends entirely on the director. Directing isn’t easy but reliance of the script, it should be able to challenge the directors and allow them to break new ground and reinvent their style. As a cinephile, I feel successful directors […]
