As expected from pretty much the beginning, the American Idol finale will feature two singers named David. Producers and judges have been pushing for this match-up for weeks, even as Syesha Mercado turned in amazing, finale-worthy performances. While the finalists share the same first name, however, David Cook and David Archuleta could not be more different. The finale will be less about who is the better singer (as they are both quite talented) and more about what America is looking for from their next “idol.”
Lately, it seems like there is a new natural disaster of epic proportions every day, somewhere in the world. Cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, oh my! I wouldn’t be surprised if people started saying that the end of the world was upon us. The horrific truth of the matter is that there are millions of people worldwide who are in desperate need of help after these recent events, and sadly, they aren’t necessarily getting it.
Locke has always believed he was meant to be on the island, and has repeatedly sabotaged his chances to escape. It is pretty hard to blame the guy considering that, pre-crash, he was paralyzed and had mostly horrible life experiences. But, in this illuminating episode, we learn that Locke was chosen to be on the island and that many attempts were made to get him there. We still have to wait to find out why, but first let’s start with a little background.
I don’t particularly love Katherine Heigl (she never seems to totally disappear into a role) and I pretty much can’t stand James Marsden (something about him being so good all the time), but I love weddings, and I loved 27 Dresses. Heigl was actually believable as Jane, a wedding-obsessed perennial bridesmaid pining for her boss (Edward Burns). Marsden was a bit of a cad for once, cynical in his role as Kevin, the seemingly anti-romance wedding columnist. In stepping a few inches outside of their comfort zones, the duo brought a surprising freshness to rather stereotypical characters.
As much as I love the wireless controllers that come with the next-gen consoles (Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3), there are some inherent drawbacks. It seems that, whenever I’m at a critical point in a game, my controller will invariably stop working. It will either lose connectivity with the console, the batteries will run out, or the boss I’m trying to beat will cast a voodoo spell to save his own skin—and I have to resist the urge have a Wii-mote accident. Well, problems like these might be a thing of the past. The ZCam, a new 3D camera, translates body movements into commands, effectively turning you into a living control pad.
