“90210 Day” celebrations remind of a show

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

90210 DaySeptember 2, 2010 was observed as “90210 Day”. It bears relevance because this date in the current century is similar to a very popular zip code (09/02/10). The people who may crazily have followed a ’90s teen drama ” Beverly Hills , 90210,” would have celebrated this event because it may give them nostalgia of the show. The “90210 Day” reminds of the show that may have been cheesy but proved to be a favorite among the audience.

“90210 Day” is a carbon copy of the show that had a group of teenagers who belonged to the rich families. Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley), Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) and Dylan McKay (Luke Perry) were considered to be the lead actors in the show. It included various topics like: date rape, alcoholism, domestic violence, gay rights, teen suicide, AIDS, teen pregnancy, abortion and eating disorders.

“90210 Day” was an event that didn’t see any parades but there was something that was affected and it was the alteration in the schedule by the CW network. There were main modifications so that it may appear very different. The show was even called as just “90210″ to prove that there are noticeable changes. This show was aired a century back and fans can really understand about the whole episode regarding the “90210 Day” celebrations.

Weeds Season 6 episode 2

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Weeds Season 6Weeds Season 6 episode 2 shows the story of the Botwins who are determined to go to Canada forever. They basically wanted to have a change. But, life is not as you expect always. As Canadians are very particular over the crossing of border, the family gets a call from FBI. The new identities are taken up by them and they discard their previous names. They are put to questions and interviews. This episode is really funny where the Botwins make goof ups. They are changing their identities but don’t have birth certificates. They are committing errors but they are not criminals. There are lots of funny instances but they are accompanied with some good and parts too.

Silas mentions that he is not deliberately involved into the act of changing identities. He is forced and dragged to do so. He stands determinately that he has done nothing wrong. This is a good part of the Weeds Season 6 episode 2 one can easily see that. There was a weird part where we witness lots of strange feeling. It is the comeback of Shane. It seems the producers are trying hard to make him so strange. This episode is a kind of exposition where the Botwins are shown to present fake ids to evade FBI and it is trying to fit in new characters in Weeds Season 6 episode 2.

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Lake Placid 3Lake Placid 3 was aired the previous night. The movie had many viewers. It is basically the new production of Syfy channel. It is a horror movie which was completely a trash. It was a big time bore and one of the ways to waste your time on weekend. It consisted of lots of goof ups. It was very bad and a kind to spread sarcasm. There was the star in the movie which is considered to be the main star of the Syfy, Colin Ferguson. He is the hero who appeared as a zoologist in Eureka . Lake Placid 3 is a story where the main lead in the film makes a big mistake. He sets on a journey and ends up in landing in a big trouble. He reaches with his family to a lake full of furious crocodiles.

Lake Placid 3 was the biggest time consumer. It was a total disaster. It shows the wrath of the crocodile. There was nothing fresh in the content. It followed the series in a typical style. In the opening, we notice the couple that is in the lake is eaten up by the crocodiles. This carries on and by the end of the Lake Placid 3 we witness the lake reddening with the human blood.
