The hooks are sinking in...
This episode treated us to very few things that annoy me and a whole lot of things that rocked my world. And this comes after watching the far superior House...
For starters, we have Sylar and Parkman in what is easily the coolest damned thing Sylar's ever done. The taunting continued and escalated. We were shown that Sylar can use Parkmans own powers against him to get what he wants out of Parkman. This turn is executed perfectly, and I am giddy with the prospect of what's to come. I hope it takes a good long time before Sylar is reunited with his body.
That is, of course, not to say that all was hunky dory in the land of superheroes. We were treated to more of Gretchen, who I am beginning to seriously dislike. We take an interesting story between Noah and Claire and we throw her into the mix and I just want to turn the damn thing off. Granted, this is the same storyline we saw between Noah and Claire the last 2 seasons, but it actually seems to be moving forward now. Thank god. Noah played the less cool than usual role of father rather than normal guy vs super dudes, so I'm hoping they kick him back into gear next week and we see some more of Tracy (who was oddly completely missing from this episode).
We were introduced to Emma, a deaf woman who suddenly starts seeing noise. She ends up playing a wonderful piece on the cello, and she plays it by seeing colors instead of hearing noise. It seems like that's her only gift (other than making very comical impressions of people's uncaring faces)... so I'm wondering where they're taking her.
As always, best for last. We finally see the true extent of Samuel's powers, as he levels the house he grew up in. No joke. "A sinkhole" they call it. The buildup to this moment was all quite spectacular and was very reminiscent of our beloved Chapter 1. On his way, he introduces himself to Peter, who he thinks could take the place of his brother Joseph at the Carnival. Samuel works some of his ink magic to create a tattoo of a compass on Peter's forearm when they shake hands. He also breaks into Peter's house to make Peter believe that he is who Peter thinks he is - a victim Peter rescued from a crash. We as the audience know this is untrue, but poor Peter does not.
Speaking of Peter, his rescuing ways come back to haunt him in the form of a lawsuit and the rumors around the hospital that he is a "glory seeker" and causes all those accidents himself. I'd go off on some tirade about how people can't just be grateful, but this serves to push Peter out of his rut and start being a person again. I most certainly applaud that. I can now get back into thinking Peter is awesome, just the way I like it.
So, the show ended with Peter seeing he's got a spinning compass on his arm while he and his partner are at the scene where three people were killed by Samuel's sinkhole. Where do we go from here?
I would like to suggest that they clear up a glaring plot hole that has come to light. When does Peter realize he has telekinetic powers? He obviously has them now... he and Samuel shook hands, and physical contact is what allows Peter to absorb powers. Once he realizes he has telekinetic powers, surely he'll realize that the man he met is not who he claims to be. Right?
Anyway, this season is dazzling so far in a way this show hasn't done in a very long time. I can't wait to see what happens next week.

House Season 6 Premiere
I thought I'd take a small piece of time out of my busy Tuesday evening Hulu watching to write a little something about this show. I don't blog about it often, but one of my all-time favorite shows is House. I spent all weekend a couple of weeks ago watching season 5 of House trying to catch up in preparation for season 6, which premiered last Monday. Unfortunately, Hulu runs a week behind on episodes, so I was not able to watch the season premiere until tonight.
About House in general, the show is great for one reason: the characters. Sure there are medical mysteries, crooked cops, and some graphic surgery scenes, but it's the characters that really make the show work. It's been an absolute pleasure watching them grow and evolve over the past 5 seasons. It's one of the rare shows that continues to get better as time goes on, and season 6 looks to continue that trend.
So, in regards to the premiere. I have only one thing to say about it.
That was the best episode of television that I have ever watched.
That is all.

Review - Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Yes, I have finally watched a movie called Perfume.
It started out with a text message conversation. My friend wanted to hang out and watch a movie tonight.
I thought: Cool!
He said he had a movie in mind that he thought I'd like.
I thought: Cool!
He said it was called Perfume.
I thought: ........ummmmmm......
He said it was my type of movie and he is seldom wrong when he says that, so we watched it.
Wow!
I went into this movie with the expectation that it would be only decent enough to warrant the "you'll like it" comment from my friend. I came out utterly blown away with this intensely marvelous movie.
I'll say it again. Wow!
And something else: Brilliant.
The story of this movie is unlike anything I have ever seen before - a boy is born with an unusually strong sense of smell. He smells, it seems, much as a dog would smell, and he sees the world through the vibrant colors of olfactory. The story traces his life as he strives to create the ultimate scent. I take that back, it's not really the creation of the ultimate scent. He is working to capture wonderful scents so they never fade, which leads him down the path that is, for lack of a better term, dark.
I know, I know, it sounds silly. Downright stupid even. I get it. I thought the same thing. But trust me, it is anything but brainless. The story is dark, a little twisted, sometimes downright humorous, and has one hell of an ending. The ending, in fact, struck me as completely strange until I sat down and thought about it for a bit. It suddenly all made sense... It fit with the movie's themes and was a cute little jab at human nature to boot. Brilliant.
Easily the best thing about the movie was Ben Whishaw. I'm not familiar with him from any of his other work, though a quick IMDB search reveals that he seems to stick mostly to period pieces (this movie takes place in France in the 18th century). I wish he was in more, as we can definitely add him to the list of actors and actresses that I'd pay to see in a movie. Whishaw plays the central character Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. Let me take a moment to say that I don't think even more well-known character actors like Johnny Depp or Russell Crowe could create a more believable, richer, or deeper character than Whishaw portrayed with Grenouille. Grenouille has twitches and ticks and mannerisms, a distinctive speech pattern, quirks in the way he moves, and a vast array of subtle facial expressions. Not one expression or movement is out of character, not one word or breath. The movie gave me plenty of time to find fault, as there were many, many moments in the movie where the camera would just sit on Grenouille, and I got to watch his reaction to other things that were happening or being said off screen. Whishaw pulls each moment off fantastically.
Also of note, both Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman are in the movie, and both are superb as well. I should say that Hoffman's accent grated on me a little, but that is a trifling concern when held up against everything else in the movie.
The score felt overdone in some places, but on the whole, it was a pleasure to listen to.
I wish I could say more, but I don't want to risk spoiling anything for those of you who haven't seen it yet and may want to. If you haven't seen it yet, I implore you to go rent it and give it a shot. It's 2.5 hours very well spent.
Oh, one final thing that really stuck out to me in this movie was the camera work. The crew had the unenviable task of taking a story that is all about smell and making audiences feel that with only video. The camera does a wonderful job of visually connecting us to what Grenouille is smelling. The shots are up close and personal, you can see the little details, the textures, and the colors explode off the screen. Throughout I was thinking to myself that this must be how he sees the world, all the detail. It was pleasantly surprising.
Anyway, enough rambling before I start to give things away. Go watch this movie... NOW!
Score: 9.8/10.0

Heroes Volume 5 Season Premiere Reaction
So, let's get straight to the point. Is Heroes back on track?
I'm not sure yet... but things are definitely looking up.
Heroes Volume 5 (season 4) kicked off last night with a 2 hour season premiere, and it was good, old fashioned, power-wielding fun. We had our old characters, we had some new ones introduced by way of the the Sullivan Carnival, which is headed up by the wonderful Richard Knepper, and his gang of bad, bad heroes.
I'm going to jump right in here and say that his motives, thus far not revealed, will keep me coming back for more. Knepper's character, Samuel Sullivan, is deliciously... dark. I had high expectations for Knepper in this villain role, and if the first episode is any indication, we are all in for one hell of a treat. I'll get back to him - best for last, after all.
As is the usual Heroes way, we find ourselves presented with several different storylines that will eventually intersect with each other. Yet, we have a strange and exciting mix of stories not yet seen in the world of Heroes.
First and perhaps most exciting - of the original characters anyway - would be that Matt Parkman has Sylar in his head. The idea of this is that when Matt Parkman was in Sylar's head making him believe that he was actually Nathan, part of Sylar's mind slipped into Parkman's. Now, Sylar comes out, hallucination-style, and quite literally taunts Parkman. This is a fantastic twist on Sylar's character, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens here. Sylar's ultimate goal is to reunite his mind (the part that's stuck in Parkman) with his body (currently in the form of Nathan Patrelli). His goal for this episode was to get Parkman to reneg on his promise to his wife that he would no longer use his mind control powers. He succeeds admirably and entertainingly. I imagine that Sylar will ultimately find his way back into his body, but until then, the ride should be entertaining and one of the show's high points this season.
We also have Noah Bennett, who is involved with Peter and Tracy. Put simply, Bennett is almost murdered by Tracy (recall that Tracy is back as the vengeance-seeking thing made of water). Things happen, and magically, I think, Bennett and Tracy are falling for each other. Talk about a one eighty. Anyway, romantic subplots aside, Bennett is working with Angela to put the company back together, but doesn't seem motivated. Claire is in college and his wife is seeing other guys. Oh, and Danko dies, which leads Bennett on a short scavenger hunt for a compass, which is soon stolen from him (leaving him almost dead) by a guy with super speed and a penchant for slicing people to ribbons.
Peter is a sissy as ever. I'm utterly bored with his I don't wanna do anything attitude. If I knew him, I'd punch him in the face. He's back to his paramedic ways, using his speed and strength powers to help people. Boring. Sure it's cool that a hero is actually using his powers to help people, but he whined about doing it enough last season that it really just irks me now. He goes with Bennett to find the compass, absorbs Speedy McSlice-Em's powers, and a cool knife fight ensues. He refuses to help Noah further, however, citing the reason for coming along as "speed will help me save people" yada yada. Punch in the face.
Anyway, Hiro is dying. Remember the nose bleeds from the last season? Well, it turns out to be something that is killing him, I'm thinking brain tumor. Anyway, he and Ando are running a Dial a Hero service, which ends up with them amusingly rescuing a cat from high places. Hiro stops time, then when he restarts it, he is frozen... something, something, they haven't explained it yet, moving on. Anyway, he ends up traveling back in time to the Sullivan Carnival when it visited Tokyo, Japan 14 years ago. There he meets Samuel (who also traveled back in time specifically to meet Hiro), who convinces him its a great idea to use his powers to go back and fix his previous mistakes. He does this by forcing Hiro to prevent the event that causes Hiro's sister to hate Ando. Upon returning to the current time, Ando and his sister are going out, making Hiro feel like a... well, hero, and making it clear that Samuel's logic is, in fact, bottled wisdom.
Nathan had a tiny role in the show, which is awesome because I'd like to hit him in the face with a shovel. He's easily one of the most infuriating fictional characters in the history of fictional characters. His role this week was blessedly short, boiling down to very little more than whipping out some Sylar-esque powers with confused expressions on his face.
Moving on.
Claire is in college, her room mate is almost as infuriating as Nathan, then her room mate dies by jumping (supposedly) out of their second story window. Police find a suicide note on teh pillow, which we as astute viewers will note wasn't there when Claire walked into the room and discovered the suicide. Claire also notes this and decides that her annoying room mate was murdered. Enter (somewhere along the way) Claire's new friend whose name I didn't bother to remember and who will only be noteworthy for the rumored lesbian relationship coming up between the two. Rock on. Oh, and at the end of the episode, Claire decides to fall out of her window to see if it is possible that her ex-room mate jumped, was pushed, or fell... and for some strange reason, her new found friend decides that this is the perfect time (so late at night that nobody on a college campus is wandering the streets and no lights are on in any dorm room, but for some reason this girl feels like just wandering into the room of a girl she, quite frankly, barely knows) to wander into Claire's room and see her misguided investigation techniques. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that this chick (ah, Gretchen is her name.... who names their kids that any more???) obviously has ulterior motives.
Moving on... to the Sullivan Carnival. This is what is going to make or break the show this year. Yes, Sylar's story with Parkman is interesting, yes I like Noah's character, but I doubt even these things will be enough to stave off the axe if the carnival characters flop. First and most certainly foremost is Robert Knepper's Samuel Sullivan character. The show opens with him giving a eulogy for his brother, the dead (and likely murdered) Jacob Sullivan. His speech serves as a diving board to launch us back into the story and the characters, yet it is him to whom we gravitate. His character is dark, undoubtedly evil, and is just a pleasure to watch. We know he seeks vengeance, presumably for the murder of his brother, but the hows and deatils of why haven't been revealed, and this is why I will tune in again next week. I'm curious as to his powers, however, because he seems to be able to do numerous things. He's obviously a telepath, as he covered his brother's casket by moving the dirt with his mind. Yet, he also seems to be able to do other things. His tattoo stick (henceforth, "the stick") delivers ink into the skin that does... things. It forms pictures on tattoo lady's back, and, in one part, it forms a hand around the neck of another carnival hero (actually, Speedy McSlice'Em) and almost strangles him. Fascinating. I definitely want to see where his powers take him in the show.
We've also been introduced to several of the carnival's other misfits. Wee meet tattoo lady who can give details about the faces Samuel makes appear with his ink (delivered with The Stick). We meet Speedy McSlice'Em and get to see him kill Danko (for shame, I liked Danko). We also meet an older gentleman who can time travel much like Hiro. Samuel uses this man to send him back 14 years to meet Hiro at the Carnival when he goes back in time.
It's clear that there are many things going on in Volume 5. And pretty much all of it hinges on how well the creative team delivers with the carnival misfits, and Samuels grand plan. One thing that was highly disappointing was the fact that I don't think Samuel had enough time in the show. I hope this is corrected later on.
Anyway, while not up to the standards set by Volume 1, the first episode of Volume 5 piqued enough of my interest to keep me coming back for more. There was moer story progression in this one episode than we saw all year long with Volume 4, and there were also more powers in this episode than the entirety of the last 2 volumes.
So, let's buckle up and see where this takes us.

Surrogate Advertising... Ripped off From Terminator?
I stumbled across this advertisement for Bruce Willis' upcoming Matrix-esque movie Surrogates while browsing the web today.
This immediately brought to mind the advertising for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Funny how similar they look, yes? Sad how we're running out original ideas for advertising robots who look like people already.
