True Blood | Season 2 Episode 3: Scratches (Review)

(((This review will contain spoilers)))

This episode starts right where we left off in the previous episode with Bill yelling at Sookie for her irresponsible decision to let Jessica see her family without realizing the potential consequences.  Honestly, what does Bill see in Sookie? Aside from the fact that she's the only woman who finds him attractive. One thing I really need to point out is the terrible acting when it came to Bill 'driving'. Steering left and right harshly and quickly is not how you drive unless you're having a seizure at the wheel. I hate seeing this type of 'driving' in movies and TV shows because it is beyond unrealistic. 

The creepy creature with the claws and bull mask attacking Sookie reminds me of the Minoans. They were heavyset on bull imagery but there was no evidence of them wearing bull masks during rituals. They were mainly situated on the Greek islands, primarily, Crete thousands of years ago. If the bull creature is connected in any way then they are very far away from home. I will applaud whoever did the special effect  for the wounds on Sookie's back because it was so realistic and gory that I wanted to throw up!

Sookie is either very brave or has no sense of self-preservation for standing up to Eric and slapping him for locking up Lafayette in the bar's basement and leaving him to rot. In her place, I definitely would have yelled but I would not of slapped a thousand year old vampire viking nor threatened him. Of course, Eric being the opportunist convinces Sookie to go to Dallas to help find a missing vampire. 
It's funny how one thing that Sam said while leaving a voicemail for Tara was to "open her eyes" to the Maryann situation which she ended up doing. The little party they ended up having was very close to being an orgy. Everyone was drinking, getting naked and some seemed to be having sex. I'm happy that Tara is finally realizing that everything is not as it seems when it comes to Maryann. Also, in the closing scene of the episode we see the same scratches that Sookie received from the attack on Daphne's back. It's ironic how both Daphne and Maryann showed up around the same time. 

Highlight of the episode was the blooming and, hopefully, long lasting relationship between Jessica and Hoyt. Jessica is learning what it means to be a vampire and enjoying her newfound freedom as a vampire. While Hoyt is still under his Mother's control trying to find someone to experience the joys of young love with. They seem like a good pairing and hopefully we see this love blossoming.

You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
